Chubarov, I. M. Art as a Crime Vs. Crime as Art. Understanding Moscow Actionism of the
1990’s
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the difference between the status of legal crime and disturbance of traditional
ways of perceiving modern actual art. In order to distinguish between transgression and crime, the author of
the article appeals to Nikolay Evreinov’s theory of theatricalization of life, Michel Foucault’s methodological
approaches and the relationship between ‘desire’ and ‘law’ described by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The
main thesis of the article is that art must not imitate crime by crossing certain illusory borders established by
the law because the law forbids much more than such ‘crime’ may violate (Gille Deleuze and Felix Guattari).
The law imposes an idea that our desires aresomething forbidden and we can satisfy our desires only if we
violate a law and commit a crime. At the same time, the law forbids us illegal actions. The article is devoted
to the analysis of actions by modern Russian artists in the 90’s.
Keywords:
philosophy, transgression, crime, desire, law, theatricalization of life, actual art, performance, actionism, illusion.
