“I do not imitate the ancient works”

Ancient. The key to getting into the world of the 59-year-old sculptor. Because the ancient culture is for Varotso “the most important, the most shocking part of our history”. Be careful though. It complements, adds, emphasizes. “I do not copy or mimic the ancient works,” he explains. “I do a dialogue with them in the hope that they will “play me”,” says VarotsoS, a vile smoker who laughs at you with his directness. He does not hide behind his words, as they say, but even if you do not know him from his interviews, you suspect that of him from his strong handshake.

"We are convinced that we are incompetent" Varotsos also has strong views on the theme of the National Garden: "I'm not against putting art in the garden. What bothers me is that they brought a Frenchman to make the "landscaping" and an English curator to do a show with 50 foreigners and one Greek. The goal is to help activate the production of culture, without excluding exhiitions from abroad. A young child who tries to find himself and hooks himself in his own story, in his own culture, is very sensitive. You have to clean the space around him in order for him to find his way. Do not bring Jeff Koons next to him and tell him: "This man is more tough, right?" Daskalopoulos is the other problem. A private collector makes his own choices, builds his space and does not ask the Garden to impose his point of view. " You need to pay attention in order to follow his reasoning, it is very easy to misinterpret what he wants to say. Is it against private initiative, as an artist also relies on it for its survival? "No. But Daskalopoulos thinks that if he gets a rolex he'll put in golden lounges. They'll put you in the lounges if you build a rolex yourself. Dakis Ioannou was a "creator". He believed in the team of New York, found Jeff Koons when he was a little brat in Manhattan and stood next to him. He created a movement. We may not like his aesthetics but he did everything from scratch. " In New York? "In New York. What we suffer from is primary thought and production. Because as a society we are convinced that we are unable to produce anything. " Source: tovima.gr
