Letter of Support With Regard to Granting a Political Asylum or Refugee Status to Russian Artist and Filmmaker Oleg Mavromatti

Russian artist and filmmaker Oleg Mavromatti currently residing in Sofia (Bulgaria) was refused his passport renewal on the grounds of being charged with "inciting national and religious hatred" under the Section 282 (2) of The Criminal Code of The Russian Federation. If he is not granted political asylum and protected from the extradition, he will face up to five years in jail. We express our deepest concern with regard to the persecution of the Russian artist and ask for your support in consideration of his political asylum appeal.

On April 1, 2000 during the making of the movie “Oil on Canvas”, the movie director Oleg Mavromatti played the role of an artist who killed another artist out of acute jealousy, and wanted to redeem himself from this deed. With his crew and actors, Oleg Mavromatti was shooting the scene of redemption "Do Not Believe The Eyes”. The scene was turned into a performance, during which his hands were nailed to a wooden cross. To distance himself from the famous Gospel, Oleg Mavromatti inscribed on his back "I am Not the Son of God". The situation went out of control when in response to an unauthorized call from some unsuspecting actor, the Russian TV has arrived and made it the news.

Shortly, under the initiative of the pro-Fascist organization "The Union of Orthodox Gonfaloniers”, Oleg Mavromatti was charged with "inciting national and religious hatred". His Moscow apartment was searched, his personal archive, including all art works, films, computers and other electronic media were confiscated. Facing the jail term, Oleg Mavromatti was forced to leave the country.

For the past ten years Oleg Mavromatti lived and worked in Sofia (Bulgaria) and Troy (New York) with his wife, a Bulgarian citizen, artist Boryana Rossa Dragoeva, currently a post-graduate student at the Department of Electronic Arts, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, New York). While in Bulgaria, Oleg Mavromatti applied for political asylum under the support from the Helsinki Human Rights Group, but was refused. It was brought to his attention, that beginning 1992 Bulgaria does not grant Russian citizens political asylum status.
Similar case was initiated against Russian artist Avdei Ter-Oganian in 1999, who was granted political asylum in Czech Republic.

Recently, the Section 282 (2) was exercised against the Head of Contemporary Art Department at Russian State Tretyakov Gallery, Anderei Erofeev and Director of the Andrey Sakharov Museum and Public Centee, Yuri Samodurov. Both lost their jobs after the beginning of the trial. In July 2010 they were found guilty under the Section 282 (2). The trial was followed closely by Amnesty International, which unequivocally condemned the very possibility of the verdict and accused the Russian justice in violation of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens.

Oleg Mavromatti - an internationally acclaimed artist and filmmaker, founder of the Supernova Movie Union. His creative work is represented by such institutions as the Goethe Institute (Sofia, Bulgaria), the Museum of Cinematography (Moscow, Russia), Museum of Contemporary Art (Denver, USA), Cultural Centre of Stockholm (Sweden), American Cultural Center (Sofia, Bulgaria), the Central House of Artists (Moscow, Russia), Gallery EXITART (New York, USA). The art by Oleg Mavromatti is part of the collections of the Shtedelik Museum (Netherlands), Ludwig Museum (Germany), Denver Museum of Contemporary Art (Denver, USA), collection of Gerda Zerhuzen (Germany). His name is included in Russian Movie Encyclopedia (2001), as well as in award winning book “Russian Actionism "(2007) by A. Kovalev.

We hope you will consider Oleg Mavromatti case closely and extend a hand of assistance in granting him with political asylum.

Respectfully,

[Signatures]

OPEN LETTER Yuri Albert, Andrew monastery, Igor Makarevich, Vitaly Komar, Vadim Zakharov, Yuri Leiderman, Valery Koshlyakov. and all other exhibitors.

Dear friends!
Yesterday I learned that my work is not produced in Russia. And then he got the e-mail from a gallery Gelman with a proposal to resolve the situation as follows: print in Paris and exhibit other works from this series that have not been banned for export, so as not to strain relations between the French and Russian partners. Long thinking, I agreed. And today I read in a magazine Gelman that you were in my support readily to boycott the exhibition, as well as comments Marat that the situation is resolved satisfactorily, and none of this is no longer needed. I was very touched by your support.
Today the whole day thinking about it. Then came to the conclusion that somehow all-too-cleverly leaves. I had a great pushing the press and now I can safely remove the cream.
Actually, my agreement to resolve the situation by printing prints, convenient to all. I imagined how the Russian ambassador to the smiles will open this exhibition in Paris, depicting that all is normal. Lately I am in constant telephone contact with Oleg Mavromatti, who is now a Russian passport was not extended to Bulgaria and threatened extradition in Russia. The situation there is very serious. I thought about what really turns ugly. My situation is similar to the situation of Mauritius. But if my work can leave in Moscow and print new ones in Paris, then print the new Mavromatti in New York, placing the old prison, just can not. So I decided to abandon This ingenious invention with prints. I wrote Gelman its refusal to decide the matter in such manner. I want this refusal to draw attention to the situation between culture and power in our country. And more specifically - to sharpen this absurd conflict. Because of my work, actually, and were created for that very clearly showed the idiocy of idiots.
In short, I decided to demand that my works have been brought from Moscow. And to produce the second requirement - to extend the Russian passport Oleg Mavromatti. The situation with Oleg is not comparable to mine, in general, funny story.
Without meeting these, it is quite realistic, in my opinion, requirements, I refuse to participate in the exhibition
It seems to me that the Louvre - it is a good lever. If the eight press in Paris, Ministry of Culture can be shaken so to stir. We are constantly confronted with similar problems when it's too late - when Erofeev already tried, but Mavromatii already was illegal. Know it on their own. And we always put the understated "realistic" problem. And when it becomes "normal", we quickly forget about it. In this exhibition at the Louvre is not solve any serious issues of art. It is simply a demonstration of how everything is great with modern art. Actually, it is it strongly wants to refute. I think that a boycott of the exhibition - is a case to be adequately perceived and artists, and the general public in Russia. We can demonstrate their attitude to the whole of the monstrous garbage that is happening here. would be very nice if you support I even then psevdorazresheniya conflict. Of course, I understand what his gesture force you to new reactions. But nothing, in fact, has not changed. С уважением, Авдей Тер-Оганьян

«Russia is returning to the absolute middle ages» Russian artist Oleg Mavromatti, 10 years living in America and Bulgaria ,
received non-renewal of Russian passport. In 2000, for participating in this art event, "Do not Believe Your Eyes" during which the artist tied to a wooden cross and nailed a nail, it was a criminal case on charges of inciting ethnic and religious hatred and insulting the feelings of believers (article 282, paragraph b). To date, Oleg Mavromatti located on the territory of Bulgaria undocumented pending a decision on extradition to the Russian Federation, followed by detention.

... Oleg, how sympathetic you people could help you?

I understand that I was caught like a mouse in a trap. In prison, I do not go. I have an ulcer, I'm on drugs. What can I expect in Moscow - it is certain death. I was thinking about suicide. If I committed suicide, I would have attributed the defeat, which in general is quite logical, since the suicide, of course also, the act of showing cowardice! Besides, my enemies would say definitely that I Satanist and possessed by demons! And such a gesture, I'd just dashed in one fell swoop all I did until now! And so we came up with Dmitry Pimenov worthy of the artist out. This is an online show - a public folk penalty. The pilot called "His / Alien written with a zipper, as AC / DC. In English, so far has no name, but we will try it soon. I will be tied to an electrical device something like a defibrillator. It consists of a storage device and a capacitor.

Russia demands extradition of Bulgaria's performance "The Crucifixion"
http://www.grani.ru/Politics/Russia/m ...
arts event 'Crucifixion' Oleg Mavromatti. Photo plucer.livejournal.com
Literally: Alex Plutser-Sarno
figure of modern art
Russian intelligence appealed to the authorities of Bulgaria to the request for extradition artist Oleg Mavromati, author of the provocative artistic action "Crucifixion". About this with reference to the very Mavromati said in his blog actionist Alex Plutser-Sarno.
artist accused of inciting ethnic and religious hatred and insulting the feelings of believers in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 282. 1 April 2000 he took part in the performance in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior during which he nailed to a wooden cross. On the back of the artist was cut bleeding inscription: "I am not the son of God."
After this action the artist несколько раз вызывали на допросы. В июле 2000 года в квартире Мавромати в Москве прошел обсыск, в ходе которого спецслужбы конфисковали все его художественные works, art materials, films and computers and other electronic media - the whole art archive, which existed in single copy.

last few years the artist has legally lived in Bulgaria for the Russian passport with his wife Boryanoy Dragoevo, which has Bulgarian citizenship. A few days ago, Oleg Mavromati was notified the Russian consulate in Sofia that he was denied a new passport Russian citizen, as an artist should be brought to justice. To issue any paper to motivate the refusal to issue a document consulate refused. Mavromati thus was illegal. He was also deprived of his residency in Bulgaria as a person with no documents attesting to personality. Bulgarian State Agency for Refugees refused to Oleg Mavromati refugee status despite the fact that the interests of the artist advocated by the International Helsinki Group.

According Plutsera-Sarno, there is no doubt that the artist will be issued to Russian law enforcement bodies, since Bulgaria is regularly performed this kind of requests of the Russian side. Deportation on criminal charges also means that the artist will denied entry to all EU countries over the next ten years.
"If Oleg Mavromati as soon not get political asylum in the West he will no doubt be in a Russian prison "- convinced Plutser-Sarno.

:" UN recommended Amnesty interneyshnal not do my business as this contradicts the policy of the EU ...((( As we all know the UN is the big boss in the world something like the Venice Biennale Commissioner if the transfer the art language ... accordingly if such Commissioner recommends that the supervisor does not communicate with the artist / otherwise it will spoil his career, a career bureaucrat, even for Friendly itself is configured properly the purpose of life, then it is perceived almost as a guide to action !!!((( So everything is much worse than thought first!

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/olegmavromati/ # sign_petition
On September 8th, 2010 Russian artist Oleg Mavromati, currently living in Bulgaria and the US, was refused renewal of his Russian passport by the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Sofia, on the grounds that Mavromati has been avoiding trial in the Russian Federation for the performance he made in 2000. If he returns to Russia he will be put on trial and faces 3-5 years of prison.

Mavromati was prosecuted for “Do Not Believe Your Eyes” under article 282 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation with “inciting religious hatred and offending the feelings of religious believers.” A legal complaint from the chairman of the local Orthodox Church community “St. Nikola” against Mavromati was disregarded by the Moscow City court as there was no evidence of crime. Through coercive measures and political connections the same complaint was sent to the General Attorney's office. Then Mavromati’s home was searched and all his video and film materials were confiscated.

“Do Not Believe Your Eyes” was not meant to offend the religious feelings of anyone, or the Orthodox faith in particular. It was also not meant to mock the Christian crucifixion or to represent any religious symbol, but rather to represent an archetype of pain. The performance was a scene of a film directed by Mavromati and called “Oil on Canvas.” Mavromati played the main role, for which he performed the crucifixion. The story was based on the biography of the young Russian painter Oleg Golosiy, who was tragically killed by another artist because of envy. Mavromati was playing the role of the artist who killed Golosiy. The character repented and in order to prove his sincerity he changed the traditional artistic medium he used (oil on canvas) with direct action and physical expression. As a true evidence of his repent the character decided to crucify himself by that representing his personal guilt.

Now there is a new urgent situation: Mavromati was just notified by the Russian Consulate in Sofia that they will not renew his passport. According to the Russian Consulate the passport renewal was refused because Mavromati has been avoiding trial in the Russian Federation for the performance he made in 2000. If he returns to Russia and put on trial Mavromati faces 3-5 years of prison.

Mavromati currently lives in Sofia with his wife, Bulgaria artist Boryana Dragoeva. The couple are internationally exhibited video artists, Boryana is also currently a PhD student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY department of Electronic Arts.

This is not an isolated case. Amnesty International had made a statement about other Russian artists being prosecuted under article 282 :
http://bit.ly/c5GeGk


“Putting artists and curators on trial for their art or for organizing an art exhibition, their right to freedom of expression, as enshrined in international law and the Russian Constitution, has been compromised. Art is a form of communication and of expressing views. It can provoke or please and often has more than one meaning. Freedom of art is an integral part of freedom of expression, limitations to which are set forth in international law. Neither Russian, nor international human rights law permit freedom of expression to be restricted or prohibited simply on the grounds that some people find the views expressed offensive or disagreeable. Moreover, laws forbidding incitement to hatred should not be used to limit freedom of expression in order to protect or support a particular religious group or point of view as such. Rather, they should seek to limit forms of expression which have the potential to cause harm to individuals and which are incompatible with the underlying values of human rights.”

Article 282 (for “inciting religious hatred and offending the feelings of religious believers.” has successfully been used to convict other artists, curators and journalists.
The most recent case was against the organizers of the art show Forbidden Art, Sakharov Museum in Moscow in 2007: http://bit.ly/dDoxHg Despite the wide support of the Russian and international art community, the “court found that Yuri Samodurov, then Director of the Sakharov Museum and Andrei Yerofeev, then Head of the Department for Contemporary Art at the State Tretiakov Gallery, had arranged the exhibition in such a way that it denigrates Christianity, and especially the Russian Orthodox faith, and incited hatred against Orthodox and other Christians. The two men have been found guilty of ‘inciting hatred or enmity’ and ‘denigration of human dignity’ for organizing a contemporary art exhibition at the Sakharov Museum in March 2007 and have been ordered to pay a fine.” An identical case was the trial against the art show “Caution Religion!”, 2001, Moscow. http://bit.ly/bsbSlq
Again despite the international support
http://bit.ly/9EYI2d Sakharov Museum director Yuri Samodurov, his deputy Lyudmila Vasilovskaya were charged for inciting ethnic and religious hatred under Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code.

Another artist Oleg Yanushevsky prosecuted under the same 282 law fro his art, had already found an asylum in the UK:
http://bit.ly/ctzkOK


The artist Avdej Ter-Ogonjan was the first one to be prosecuted under the article 282, for his performance “The Young Atheist”, 1998 made at the Art Manège, Moscow. He is currently a refugee in the Czech Republic.
http://bit.ly/9C9hpi


It seems that in Russia there is a regular violation of the basic human rights. No artist or art show organizer should be prosecuted and their right to freedom of expression should be respected and the criminal cases against them should be closed.

ACTION IS NEEDED NOW! PETIТION
Please sign this petition for Oleg Mavromati and other Russian artists prosecuted under 282 article.
