Fontanka River
Kozlov's studio “Russkoee Polee” (“The Russian Field”, 1989–1991) at No. 145 Fontanka River Embankment was a meeting place for artists, curators, and gallerists. In 1990, the Austrian performance artist Wolfgang Flatz teamed up with Kozlov for a body-painting session; this was filmed for the public by ZDF, the German TV channel. That same year, he saw the Berlin curator Hannelore Fobo visiting his studio. Kozlov settled in Berlin and later married Fobo.
