Dmitri Alexandrowitsch Prigow ( Russian Дмитрий Александрович Пригов , scientific transliteration Dmitrij Aleksandrovič Prigov ; born November 5, 1940 in Moscow ; † July 16, 2007 ibid) was a Russian artist.

Life

Prigov studied sculpture at the Stroganov Art Institute in Moscow in the 1960s . He then worked for the city's architecture administration and designed sculptures for public parks. After an intensive examination of visual and concrete poetry , he wrote his own poems, dramas and essays. Many of his poems circulated in samizdat and tamizdat . Prigow organized music performances with jazz and rock musicians and was seen by some as a leading figure of the new Russian conceptualism .

Because of his “An die Bürger” literary appeals, he was picked up on the street by the KGB in 1986 and forcibly taken to a psychiatric institution ; Protests from prominent poets (including from Bella Achatowna Akhmadulina ) and from abroad, however, led to his dismissal after a short time.

In 1987 Prigow took part in Documenta 8 in Kassel . In 1989 he had his first solo exhibitions at the Struve Gallery in Chicago and at the St. Louis Gallery of Contemporary Art . In 1990 he received a DAAD scholarship for a one-year stay in Berlin, during which he wrote the work Poet Without Personality .

In 1993 Prigow was awarded the Alexander Pushkin Prize of the Alfred Toepfer Foundation FVS , in 1998 he received the Prize of the International Biennale of Paper Art, Düren and in 2000 the Pasternak Prize.

On July 16, 2007 Prigov died of complications from a heart attack in Moscow.

Trivia

On July 15, 2018, Pussy Riot demonstrated on the field in support of political prisoners after the break from the World Cup final. The group commemorated Prigov's 11th anniversary of his death and referred to his poems about the Moscow militiaman.
