|  One of his first actions was staged at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts where he kneeled before Van Gogh’s painting yelling "Vincent, Vincent!" and then imitated an act of uncontrolled defecation. That was meant as a public admission of impotence and worthlessness in face of Great Art, but nevertheless had little resemblance to real himility. http://www.artinfo.ru/artbank/asp/englis h/search/author/art_type/author_result.a sp?author_id=645&art_type_id=20 | |

he masturbated at the diving platform of the recently closed Moscow swimming pool,--http://www.ljudmila.org/scca/urba naria/avtor/e/brener.htm "Perhaps more controversial is his public masturbation on the diving platform of a swimming pool built during socialism on the site of a destroyed orthodox church that saw Brener arrested." http://www.renewal.org.au/artcrime/pages/m alevich1.html | |

| Red Square, Moscow ?/10/94
The artist Anton Litvin staged an action in Red Square in the course of which he came closer to the centre of the universe. The action was called "God Save the Queen" and timed for the visit of Her Majesty to Moscow... Like an archaeologist Litvin takes layers of civilisation off the human soul... Kuranti, 19.10.94

| Tveskaya Sqr., Moscow ?/09/04  In the midst of Indian summer there was a sudden snowfall in Moscow. The precipitation was equal exactly to one snowman... The author of that action Anton Litvin meant to show the conflict between nature and civilisation (and man as part of civilisation). And so he did. All those present enjoyed it. Novaya Yezhednevnaya Gazeta, 27.09.94

| 15 September 1994, 1994. Danilovsky food market  Jamey Gambrell. Art in America: The post-bulldozer generations - the artistic presence in the former Soviet Union - Report From Russia Рerformance called "Christ-Animal: The New Testament" that he did in mid-September at Danilov Market, one of the larger indoor markets in Moscow. Accompanied by photographers and a TV camera crew, Kulik arrived at the market dressed in short white robes, a red cloth around his shoulders and a crown of thorns on his head. Standing on a counter in the meat section--surrounded by butchers, bewildered market-goers and raw meat--he held a suckling pig in his arms; he had attached animal hooves to his own hands, so that he seemed half human, half animal himself. The artists and critics who had gathered expected a speech, but Kulik instead brayed to the crowd for a few minutes before being whisked away in a waiting car. Much of Kulik's work plays off the brutal, bestial spirit he sees as motivating social processes in contemporary Russia. One of his current projects involves a campaign for the 1996 presidential elections by the "Animal Party," complete with posters of that artist-candidate with horns and hooves; campaign rallies are planned, and eventually, if sponsors and willing broadcasters can be found, TV talk shows and ads." http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/m i_m1248/is_n5_v83/ai_16878537/print | |

| 1994/(?) M.Guelman’s Gallery. Central House of Artists, Moscow J amey Gambrell. Art in America: The post-bulldozer generations - the artistic presence in the former Soviet Union - Report From Russia"Last year Guelman also sponsored Alexander Brener, the bad boy of Moscow's last art season, known for his numerous performances in the buff, which included masturbating at the Moscow swimming pool on the site of the former Church of Christ the Savior [now to be rebuilt: see "Front Page," Nov. '94]. Last summer the gallery showed Brener and another young Moscow artist, Bogdan Mamonov, at the Central Artists House. "Conformists," as the show was called, contrasted Mamonov's large photographic portraits with a physically grueling series of daily performances by Brener, who raced around the space and alternately declaimed classical Russian poetry, screamed, ate raw onions whole, measured his genitals, and stuck pins in his bared posterior. Echoing early 20th-century Russian artists' calls to "throw Pushkin off the ship of modernity," the artists' joint manifesto in the "Conformists" catalogue challenged what they see as the status quo of artists who "learn to paint correctly, as artists did 40-50 years ago ... and carefully trace out their scribbles for each other and a small circle of the initiated."

| Action in Pushkin Sqr., Moscow, 1994
„I, Alexandеr Brener, reached a great breakthrough in post Koons art on February 19, 1994. Under the Pushkin statue on Pushkin Square in Moscow, I met with my wife Lyudmila who came to see me from Israel. Under this statue I asked her to carry out an act of love with me. I did not succed as my member did not stand up of which I informed the gathered crowd by shouting: “It doesn’t stand!“ Who else in our contemporary art culture may provide an example of such absolute statement.“ (Khudozhestvenny Zhurnal, iss. 4, 1994)
In his action staged in Pushkin Sqr., when he publicly attempted to commit a sexual act with his wife, he did not confine himself to the role of the Artist violating the conventional limits, but refined it by playing a failure whose wish for public self-assertion ends in a crushing fiasco ("No good!" was the key phrase of that action).
