ALTERED MAN: THE ART OF BORIS LURIE
Odesa Fine Arts Museum, Odesa Ukraine
Altered Man is an important metaphor of the twentieth as well as the twenty-first centuries; of history and politics that try to erase and deface the individual. Boris Lurie (1924-2008), Soviet-born American non-conformist artist and writer, founder of the NO!art movement was one of the first to raise questions that had long been in the air: the disappearance of individuality, the entropy of personality – and thus of reality.
