Where is Anna Mikhalchuk? (blog)
07/04/2008
Russian artist, Anna Mikhalchuk, has disappeared in Berlin.
Anna Mikhalchuk (also known as Anna Alchuk) has been living in Berlin with her husband, the philosopher Mikhail Ryklin, since 2007. Both are well-known critics of President Vladimir Putin's regime. Anna left her apartment on March 21, telling her husband she planned to run errands, but has not been seen since. Anna was tried in Russia in 2005 for inciting religious hatred in relation to a 2003 exhibition in Moscow. The exhibition featured works of art that were seen as blasphemous by many Russian Orthodox believers. Mikhalchuk was cleared, but two associates were convicted and fined.
Anna and Mikhail took part in Arts Catalyst's MIR project in 2001.
