CURATOR: Natasha Sharymova

Andrey Bartenev is a Russian artist, sculptor, experimentalist, and creator of many provocative, interactive installations and performances. He was born in 1969 in Norilsk, Russia.
He operates in an interdisciplinary field. "Art for me is a single current," he has said, "and I don't care what forms it takes." His work can't be confused with anyone else's. Examples are his papier-mâché "eight-legged dog for high-speed transportation;" his performance “Black Caviar Road” – a line of Russians black caviar cans with car tires rolling by; and his sound installation "Say: I love you" which uses a computer to transform those three words into an echo bouncing through two hundred speakers.
