Oleg Kulik. Art Animal

This book, published to coincide with Oleg Kulik's performance of Two Kuliks at Ikon Gallery, is a selection from a wealth of documentation and commentary about the artist's work since 1993. It provides an unprecedented opportunity to consider in depth his extraordinary art practice. Beginning with Deep into Russia, arguably Kulik's most shocking gesture, and then tracing his development through performances with various animals, and 'actions' as an animal, quickly a strong political and philosophical proposition becomes clear.
