Oleg Kulik - Profile

At the start of his career Oleg Kulik was obsessed with transparency. His early (late 1980s) works, rather docile Perspex cases, were quickly dismissed and gave place to the whole utopian program of his, aimed at transcending art in favor of some "true", unmediated reality. The language for the latter was found in a series of exuberant animalistic performances of mid-nineties, which won Kulik notoriety. After such powerful, magnetic gestures, any new project by Kulik, inevitably, has been scrutinized through a severe questioning eye: "What's next?". Until today, there was no clear - transparent, actually - answer to this question. The newest project by Kulik - a reminiscence of those early Perspex things, at a first glance - is giving an unexpected answer, and, simultaneously, it is giving an unexpected homage to many living classics of the Russian avant-garde of 1970s and 1980s. A transparent artificial object photographed in natural environment immediately recalls Francisco Infante; as for Eric Bulatov, Kulik allowed himself a few direct quotations (clouded sky, the famous Stalinist sculptural fountain...); Komar & Melamid's Universal Slogan is clearly present in the line of rectangular holes forming a blind message; and even Collective Actions group is evoked through a subtle combination of the same Stalinist fountain with an idyllic fall forest, hinting at one of the favorite locations of the group's performances. This homage comes from an equal, however. Kulik feels strong enough to be gallant. To have the "fathers" confined in his own project, he has no need for violence anymore, as in his explosive curatorial projects of the 1990-1993 (where he once put another artist's work on the doorstep of the gallery). Now, his project is so total, that it is hardly resistable; it is simply a project of "Russian art". Kulik attained the age when he feels responsible for the whole tradition, and history is built with meticulous references, not just with bold individual gestures. (Russian Museum, St. Petersburg)
