Avdey Ter-Oganyan
(1961, Rostov-on-Don, Russia - lives and works in Berlin, Germany)
The name of Avdei Ter-Oganyan is known in Russia and worldwide beyond the sphere of art. At the turn of the centuries his name was on the lips of the most opposed layers of our society: ultra right chauvinists and human rights activists. The subject of heated debates was an action by the artist that parodied "iconoclasm": he chopped up cheap copies of icons with an axe.
