Oleg Tistol: art is like a cactus on the lawn
The executives who study at kmbs spoke with renowned artist Oleg Tistol at the next meeting of Project Meeting Point. They talked about current art and the meanings of contemporary culture.

One of the formats for management training at kmbs is the regular Meeting Point meetings, where participants interact with interesting personalities of today. The discussion with the artist, the representative of the Ukrainian neo-baroque Oleg Tistol, became another event within the framework of this project. His works can be seen at the PinchukArtCentre, the Stedelijk Museum (Netherlands), the Christoph Merian Stiftung Foundation (Switzerland) and other collections in the world.

The theme of the meeting was the meaning of contemporary culture and contexts of Ukrainian art. According to Natalia Zabolotnaya, President of the Humanitarian Development Fund of Ukraine, who moderated the meeting, “culture cannot be managed. You can promote its self-development. "

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.
