Saubr erhalten, dreisprachige Texte. WIKI: (E-E) Evgenij Kozlov (Russian: (E-E) ??????? ?????'?, tr. (Ye-Ye) Yevgueni Kozlov, IPA: [j?v'g?en??j k?'zlof] is a Russian artist living in Berlin. Known chiefly as a founder of the art group "New Artists" (Leningrad, 1982?1989), perhaps the most influential art phenomenon in the Soviet Union in its last decade,[1] he works under the artist?s name of E-E which has been his sole signature since 2005. Since 2017, he has been adding People as a second signature to most of his works, stressing the universal character of his approach to art. In 2007, Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni and Ali Subotnick included Kozlov into the list of 100 ?great solitary masters?.[2] Kozlov?s works are in the collections of the Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg, Tate Modern, London, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Muzeum Sztuki, Lódz, Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova, Turku, Davis Center, Harvard University, and in other public and private collections. One of Kozlov?s first exhibitions in Germany was ?Der Weg der ockerfarbenen Elefanten? (?The Path Of The Ocre Elephants?) at Kampnagel, Hamburg, in 1991. It was coproduced with the Centre Culturel, Cherbourg where it was shown the same year as ?Le Passage des éléphants ocres?. Kozlov?s works included three large paintings from his series ?New Classicism? (?????? ?????????) which were characterized in an art journal as ?self-contained and yet irritating to such a degree that they would hold their own in any exhibition.?[24] In 1994, with support from the OTIS company, Hannelore Fobo and Evgenij Kozlov opened ?RUSSKOEE POLEE 2? in Berlin; the studio, a 400 m2 factory space, ran until 2008. The dimensions of his studio allowed the artist to develop large projects, such as ?Miniatures In Paradise?, 1995, an exhibition at the Siegessäule (Berlin Victory Column) with motives of angels as well as the cities of St. Petersburg and Berlin. Sixteen ?miniatures?, original paintings on fabric in a 5 x 2 m format similar to gonfalons, were hoisted on flagpoles around the Großer Stern on June 15, 1995.[25][26] The exhibition had to be closed after four of the ?miniatures? were stolen.[27] During its fourteen years of existence, ?RUSSKOEE POLEE 2? played a prominent role on Berlin's cultural landscape. Not only were there solo exhibitions of which Kozlov was one of the artists but it was also a hub for a variety of concerts and fashion shows.[28][29] The focus of ?RUSSKOEE POLEE 2? was on Russian artists but this was not an exclusive policy. In Berlin Kozlov has continued to enlarge his collection ?2x3m? which focuses on works of contemporary Russian artists in this very format. In 1998, Kozlov was commissioned by the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin (state parliament of Berlin) to create a portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev for its Gallery of Honorary Citizens.[30] In 1999, he was the artistic director of a project dedicated to ten years of the Fall of the Berlin wall. ?Chocolate Wall? was organised by the Italian Festival Eurochocolate, Perugia and took place in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin where under Kozlov?s guidance school children painted freely on the chocolate wall. This wall had been built up by Italian pastry chefs; twelve metres long and eight tons in weight it was, like its inspiration, also destroyed.[31] 2003 saw the release of Kozlov's book The Leningrad Album ? a selection of 108 erotic drawings from the remaining 256 which had been executed in his youth.[32] A year later the book was given to the curators of the 4th Berlin Biennale Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni, and Ali Subotnick. The drawings made a profound impact on Massimiliano Gioni who selected 150 of them for the exhibition ?Ostalgia? at the New Museum, New York in 2011 where they were considered to be ?a cornerstone of the exhibition?.[33] After having been appointed curator of the 55th Venice Biennale (2013), Gioni decided to make them part of the main exhibition entitled ?The Encyclopedic Palace?.[34][35] The drawings roused intense interest from the public, and the entire stock was sold out in the gallery shop within the first two days.[36] ISBN 9783887693152
