Artyom Loskutov

Artyom Loskutov (born September 15, 1986) is a Russian performance artist and an activist. He is known for an annual Monstration held in Novosibirsk[1] that gently pokes fun at Kremlin policies.[2] He has been arrested for insulting police.[3] In response to the incident he said, "You're not a real Russian until you've been arrested."[4]

In 2013, Loskutov was informed by Russian authorities that he is no longer allowed to practice art and to perform as an individual artist.[5]

Loskutov exhibited at London's Saatchi Gallery in November 2017 as part of the Art Riot exhibition. There was some controversy as he had merely constructed a frame for a work by artist Mariya Kiselyova (police originally attributed the overall work to Loskutov, and Kiselyova's role was often sidelined).[6]
