Oleg Kulik
Armadillo for Your Show


As the opening event of Live Culture and for his debut London performance, Russia's most famous performance artist spun above the audience like a human mirror ball in a critique on the worlds of art, entertainment and mass culture and their crucifixion of the artist.

Performance artist, sculptor and curator Oleg Kulik is most renowned for his performances as a dog, including Mad Dog, Reservoir Dog and I Bite America and America Bites Me. Kulik has exhibited and performed throughout the world and his photographic work was included in the 2001 Venice Biennale.

Armadillo for your Show was presented as part of The Zoophrenia Programme, Museum Van Hadendaagse Kunst, Gent 09/11/97 and 09/99
