Nach dem Interview von rebel:art mit der russischen Künstlergruppe Voina vor ein paar Monaten, gibt es jetzt noch ein weiteres, ganz frisches Interview vom englischen Don’t Panic Magazin mit Voina. Nach dem Banksy die Einnahmen seiner neuesten Druckkollektion an die Künstlergruppe spendet, scheint das Interesse an der russischen Künstlergruppe noch einmal stark gestiegen zu sein.
„Last week Banksy declared that all profits from his current print sale would be gifted to Russian art anarchist group Voina. Known for drawing an enormous cock on a bridge opposite the ex-KGB offices, and instigating a sex party in a museum (see above). We spoke to the group (half of which were replying from prison).
Voina (or “War” to give them their English name) are a radical art group concerned with challenging the Russian establishment on important political issues such as attitudes towards homophobia, race, and the totalitarian actions of the state, through creating outrageous and provocative art performances in Russia. Two of their members; Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev have been detained for more than a month at St Petersburg Prison on false allegations. Don’t Panic spoke to the group. Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev, the artists from the Voina art-group, handled their answers from the St. Petersburg prison, awaiting trial on charges of hooliganism for one of their previous performances. Alex Plutser-Sarno and Natalia Sokol have sent their answers from the secret flat, where they are hiding from the police.“
