Oleg Tistol spoke about his vision of what culture is now. Here are some artist quotes:
- Culture is definitely not a commodity. Culture is a process. And contemporary art is a cactus on the lawn, which they try to cut, but the cactus still gets out.
- I do not believe in the system of art education. I believe in the environment. If you get into the fanatic environment, it will push you out. That was the beginning of my development.
- We must pay for creative freedom - we must find strength and faith in ourselves. Because over time there are very few "fanatics" of art that have not been broken by society.
- The honest product ultimately finds its viewer or buyer.
- Black Square »Malevich - the only completely true picture on the planet.
