		Brener remained in the museum until he was escorted out by the police, jailed, and eventually put on trial.
		Brener’s defense consisted of arguing that what he did was an artistic expression.
		Brener has earned a reputation as a naughty artist, and the art critics and historians who write about his performance art describe it as perverse, naïve, primitive, masochistic, and even fascist.

		Mamonov and Brener are political artists of the epoch of political rudiments, social artists of the epoch of degradation of the social and religious artists of the epoch of spiritual decay.
		That is why, Brener and Mamonov are political artists of the age of political rudiments, and social artists of the age of social degradation.
		Brener's and Mamonov's quest for direct communication by means of an authentic idiom as a chief goal turns the mob both into a context and an addressee of their creativity--the mob in the sense of that final form to which the society is reduced now as a result of its entropy.

		Brener at that time was well known and respected for his verbally aggressive and Expressionist writings and poetry on women, sex, and the Moscow art world.
		Brener also understood that (hetero-) sexual provocation or the kind of actionism that worked well in Moscow wouldn't necessarily excite anybody in the West anymore.
		I defend the gesture of Alexander Brener because it pulsates with energy, because it administers mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a work of art that is dead, just as any work of art or culture buried in our memory, our conscience, our books, is dead.

		In the opening, the Russian performance artist, Alexander Brener, began playing a set of drums which were at the front of my installation and began screaming while he was pounding the drums.
		Brener has not comes to terms with the full realization of his performance according to this separation of ideology versus fruition as he blindly acted out old Dadaist concepts in a frustrated act of aggression.
		Brener has not deeply considered the sophistication of today’s contemporary media; his old-fashioned shock-value will be easily dismissed.

		Their experience regarding their artistic cooperation were discussed, during which Alexander Brener, fervently supported by Yury Leiderman, announced that the exhibition, in the manner it had proceeded to date, had no foundation to it and was a thoroughly spurious and hypocritical affair.
		Alexander Brener, destroying Wenda Gu’s piece, declared his aim was to “break the bone, the structure of the exhibition”.
		Kuik and Brener’s demonstration violated the established convention on radicalism, where a radical action is not an exacting of original essence, but only a positioning of oneself in the context of the system (which, incidentally, is quite natural for Russian artists who lack a developed art system).

		Brener was later arrested by the police for the action.
		As Alexander stated during his visit in Ljubljana, he doesn’t believe in a political democracy, but he does believe in a democratic art—that is, an art of individuality fighting for mental and spiritual freedom and moral progress.
		Brener’s action consciously and deliberately stuck a finger into a very deep and serious wound in contemporary European political history caused by proletarian revolution, Communism, Fascism, Nazism, the Cold War and the chaotic process of establishing a new world order under the leadership of global capitalism.

		On 16 of November 2005 Alexander Brener and Barbara Schurz, artists from Europe (having no fixed place of residence, traveling from Austria to Spain, from Turkey to Slovenia, returning for a short period in Austria, and at the moment being in Switzerland) had a lecture at the Post-Conceptual Art Practices Class at Akbild in Vienna.
		Alexander Brener was not functioning as a truly dangerous entity, not as a real serious figure and authority: he was hyperactive, exaggerated, almost ridiculous and melodramatic.
		The truly suffocating and psychotic generating experience in itself is that this protective care (that protects in the end only, and obscenely visibly, the institution in itself) erases all traces of difference, of different positioning, etc. and normalizes art and culture as the most oppressive fields of contemporary societies.

		Brener is against the market of contemporary art.
		Malevich's painting, for Brener, was a symbol of art business and all the people involved in it: critics, museums, art collectors, gallerists and artists themselves.
		Brener says he 'fucked' the police in every country where he was.

		The crowning point of Brener’s sky-rocketing career came in three criminal charges brought against him in Israel, Russia, and Holland, also in his notoriety as the most annoying and conspicuous figure among Russia’s artists of the past decade.
		To Brener, as to many others, art is the realm of freedom, which is its chief, if not only, distinction from life (adding possibly its higher concentration of emotion, strain, and risk).
		To Brener it is sweeping aside all conventions and hypocrisy and calling a spade a spade.

		On the other hand, his principle yielded another tangible effect: in his works Brener returned to things their singular literal meaning, which had a great merit at the time (after all the conceptual manipulations things seemed to have lost their identity, if not all meaning whatever).

		When violence, destruction, and flmailing enters the field of symbolic exchangeand it is very easy, though it already has famous precedents everywhere in Europe, and Brener himself is a result of such a history of symbolic oppression during the Soviet erathe climate is soon poisoned.

		Defining me as an art terrorist seems to me to be rather excessive; even though I believe that, working within the ambit of art, a degree of permanent tension and attention is necessary in order to comprehend its motivations, demands, and continual mutations.
		No lesser than Jan Hoet, formerly the curator of Documenta and currently Director of the Museums of Ghent, lucidly explained in the pages of Flash Art the motivations behind the artistic gesture of Alexander Brener, who is not exactly as criminal as you call him.
		I do not sit behind a museum desk beatifically contemplating the horizon and its sunsets, but as I have said many times in the past I feel that I am perched on the rim of an erupting volcano.
