This 368-page monograph is the first substantial publication in 15
years to take on Russia's most famous performance artist, Oleg
Kulik. Also a sculptor and curator, Kulik is most renowned for his
disconcerting performances as a dog. "Art in America" reviewed his
1997 solo exhibition at New York's Deitch Projects thus: ""On a
sunny afternoon, Oleg Kulik emerged from the dark cage where he had
spent the preceding two weeks on public view, living a dog's life
in a gallery. Naked except for a studded leather collar, he had
romped on hands and knees, eaten from bowls, slept on a mat and
uttered only guttural growlsO Kulik's past performances as a dog
include a turn as Pavlov's pet in a laboratory where he was
subjected to the sort of behavioral experiments routinely endured
by lab animals. Most notorious was a Stockholm exhibition in which
Kulik bit several visitors (including an art critic), leading to
his arrest at the request of the curator.
