Oleg Kornev est né mort en Sibérie sur le termofrost pendant la guerre froide...

Visual Artist, Performer, Media Producer



From the middle of 80th years Oleg organizes exhibitions-performances under themes «Totalitarian Romanticism» and «Mausoleum L», where the present and nearest past, similarly to an antique heritage, become objects of archeological excavations, various cults and rituals...

«Visuals are for me a process-art issue, a liquid substance which changes his quality in time, and I feel myself like a person who monitories of an alchemical process».

Since 1985 activities in Moscow underground music scene as photographer, designer and promoter. Collaboration with electro and new wave groups: «Notchnoi Prospekt», «Alisa», «Kabinet», «Doctor», «Brigada S» and underground scene promoter Vladimir Marochkin.
1986-video screening for V.Shumovs (“Center”) rock opera based on A.Rimbaud poetry (feat. Borisov (“Center”, “Notchnoi Prospekt”), Mamonov (“Zvuki Mu”), Aguzarova (“Bravo”)).
