Armadillo for Your Show
Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent, November 9, 1996
Tate Modern, London, March 27, 2003
This performance, at once, was concerned with the limits of contemporary art conventions, and the aesthetics and effects of mass culture at a night club. The armadillo is an elusive nocturnal animal with an armour-like covering of jointed bony plates. In this action Kulik was the «armadillo» covered by jointed mirror plates glued to his skin, making him look like a disco-ball. For a long time he rotated to the accompaniment of extremely passionate music.
