   Comments: Oleg should not have been charged nor should he now be forced into the status of an international refugee without papers. I have worked with him in NYC at Exit Art and in the Netherlands at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. He is dedicated, nuanced and challengingly poetic. Oleg's performance art, like all art, can be read only under the multifaceted lights of social perception. For one viewer the use of Oleg's own body for a sacrificial expression of this sort is a type of performance reserved for saints alone, so he should be sainted. For another, it grounds all messianic status to the level of human dedication to myriad philosophies , making the miraculous into mere profane advertisement. Perhaps the church's public relations maneuver is stooping down for an orthodox incorporation? Is meting out justice through earthly legal wrangling an offensive way of reading/mirroring Oleg's performance. Perhaps the Russian state-church should be sued under Article 282 for not trusting in providence, thereby offending god's will. Now, the Russian government is embarrassingly stuck persecuting Oleg's body as a thought crime against mythos and mirage, while touting democracy. Freedom of religion is also freedom from religion, even for the crucified. Adam Zaretsky

    Comments: Спасибо Олегу Мавроматти за преподанные его перформансами уроки. Благодаря им общество и система правосудия в России когда-либо научатся ценить и защищать право художника на свободу творчество, а также право зрителя - на свободу интерпретаций. Пока же остается рассчитывать на то, что такие свободы умеют ценить в Болгарии или в любой другой стране Евросоюза.
