The Fulbright Foundation in Greece was established in 1948 and is the oldest
Fulbright program in Europe. Bi-nationalism is central to its mission. The
Foundation offers scholarships to Greek and American citizens students,
teachers, scholars, researchers and artists to pursue a wide variety of
educational projects. Since 1948, the Fulbright Foundation in Greece has
awarded more than 4,700 grants to Greeks and Americans, while it regularly
implements programs for educational and cultural exchanges, and offers free
advising services for studies in the United States to thousands of individuals.

Soon after its inception, the Fulbright Foundation began awarding scholarships
for graduate and doctoral studies in the Fine Arts. In time, the need emerged
for a program tailored especially for artists. Thus, in 1989, the Artist Scholarship
Program was launched. Indeed, the Fulbright Foundation in Greece is one of
the few Fulbrights worldwide to offer such a program. The Artist Scholarship
program is intended for American and Greek artists that wish to exercise
their craft, to observe the new artistic tendencies up close, and to expand
their artistic expression. The importance of this program lies in the fact that
it promotes artistic and intercultural communication and creation worldwide
by showcasing Greek art in the United States and supporting collaborations
between American artists and artists or institutions in Greece. Through this
program, to date Fulbright has awarded close to 100 grants to artists.

In recognition of the fundamental role of education, Fulbright artist alumni


donate their works in support of the Fulbright Scholarship Program. The Art
Supports Education Fulbright Alumni Art Series program, which began in
2002, was implemented with the support of the Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State, and the US Embassy in Athens,
in collaboration with the Benaki Museum.
The first series of works was presented in January 2011 in Athens, at the Benaki
Museums Pireos Street Annex, while the second series was shown in December
2011 in Thessaloniki, at the Excelsior Hotel.

The goal of the Art Supports Education Fulbright Alumni Art Series
program is to demonstrate that art supports education, just as education
supports art. Thus, Fulbright artists reciprocate the opportunity they were
given, by contributing with their works to the financial support of the
Scholarship Program. After all, what better advertisement for the Foundation
than the success of its alumni?
The Fulbright Foundation and the Benaki Museum invite you to support the
Fulbright Scholarship Program by purchasing a work of art from the Fulbright
Alumni Art Series. All proceeds from the sale of the works benefit the Fulbright
Scholarship Program.
This catalogue is a gift to the artists, who have so generously supported this
initiative, as well as a resource which we hope will prove useful to researchers
in the future. We will continue updating this catalogue until it can stand as a
complete record of the Fulbright Foundations artist alumni.
We extend our sincere thanks to the US Embassy in Athens and the US
Consulate in Thessaloniki; the Benaki Museum, and especially Angelos
Delivorrias, Irini Geroulanou, Despina Geroulanou, and Dimitris Droungas;
the Tornivoukas Family and the team at the Excelsior Hotel; Dimitris
Doutis (Fulbright office in Thessaloniki), and especially Angie Fotaki

Costas Varotsos, a Professor of


Visual Arts at Thessalonikis Aristotle University, lives and works in
Greece. His works are represented
in major private collections and museums internationally and can also
be found in public spaces around
the world. Varotsos uses transparent materials, such as glass, Plexiglas and water, as well as steel and
stone to create works of social and
often symbolic significance. He is
especially interested in the way his
art can communicate and emotionally connect with the viewer.
Costas Varotsos received a Fulbright Artist Scholarship in 1990-91
to study at the Experimental Glass
Workshop in New York.

Dromeas is a limited edition print,


especially created by internationally
known artist Costas Varotsos in 2008
to commemorate the Fulbright Foundations 60th anniversary. The prints
are signed and numbered by the artist.
The silkscreen is based on Varotsos
Dromeas (the runner), an imposing
12-meter-tall sculpture made of approximately 50 tons of glass and iron
of the type used to build submarines.
The Dromeas was originally placed in
Omonia Square, where it remained until
1998, when work began for the Athens
metro. It was then moved to the small
square facing the entrance to the Athens Hilton.

Crossing America from coast to coast,
like so many photographers before me.
I had dreamed of it for quite some time.
Would I finally do it, or would I just
keep on talking about it?
16,994 kilometers in 61 days, crossing
States, cities, deserts, and seas. When

driving alone through the landscape,


time expands; you become either the
voice and its echo, or just the silence.
You are there because you drove
yourself; you will arrive where you are
headed as fast or as slow as you can
bear to drive. Youre as far from home
as you choose to distance yourself. I
traveled longer and further than I could
have ever hoped. My eyes can now see
a little clearer, a little further down the
road. With this journey, I had the rare
opportunity to meet myself again after
a long time.

The Intellectual, a work by the painter


Sotos Zachariadis was selected for
the Fulbright Foundations Art Series
2010. The Intellectual is the portrait
of a youngish man who is inundated
by words, written in a calligraphic and
very personal writing style. The first
works of this series appear in the 1998
painting entitled The Book. The artists singular handwriting draws on
pre-Hellenic and Ancient Greek alphabets, and began appearing in his work
in 1990. The intricate, and therefore
slow, writing method orients the writer
towards a philosophical, poetical and
succinct discourse.

Covenant is a digital synthesis of a


pencil drawing made on a journey to St.
Catherines Monastery in the Sinai and
a photograph of a copy of a document
in the library of the monastery signed
by the Prophet Muhammad in 628 C.E.
It is a charter of privileges that consisted of several clauses covering aspects of human rights for the Christian
community: freedom of worship and
movement, freedom to appoint their
own judges, freedom to own and maintain property, exemptions from military
service, and the right to protection in
war. In 1517, the Turkish Sultan Selim I
took the original letter, which is now in
the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, but he
gave the monks a copy and approved
its terms. The privileges of protection
and safe-conduct for the monks have
been upheld to this day.

of three paper cut-out mandalas as a
logotype for the Fulbright Foundation
in Greece. One of the paper cut-outs,
with the most easily readable text, was
used on the cover of the publication
marking the 60th Anniversary of the
Foundation in Greece, as well as on
the Fulbright tote bag, given to guests
at the anniversary event organized by
the Foundation in Athens in 2008. The
other two paper cut-outs, which are
presented here, are more complex; the
text is more difficult to decipher and
they become a playful challenge to the
viewer.

The Fulbright grant gave me the opportunity, first of all, to compare the
America I had come to know since
childhood through its cinema, its music, its theater and its literature, with
the experience of actually coming in
contact with it. This comparison never
abolished or altered the relationship
between the imaginary and the real,
since the one refers to or is channeled
into the other continuously. The plethora beyond anything I could have foreseen of the most contrasting trends
that I witnessed thanks to the Fulbright
grant was the most fruitful, especially
in the field of discourse and art, as they
coexist in that vast country. If I had to
describe the sum of these trends in two
words, I would say they are governed
by an indomitable energy. For this reason, they continue to germinate my
imagination and my work.

For years I have worked with images


of broken class, ice, dried earth, etc.,
fascinated by the shapes taken on by
different materials when shattered, or
shocked in some other way (burned,
dried, etc.) There seem to be some
elusive rules in operation here. In this
case, I had a few small (3 inch in diameter) Japanese soy sauce dishes with a
cracked turquoise glaze. Each one was
unique since this effect happens in the
kiln. I scanned a couple of the glazed
dishes, then I took them apart electronically, piece by piece, and reassembled
them the way archaeologists display
shards of pots or bones, neatly, one
next to the other. Then I added words
and signs on some of them, thus creating something reminiscent of ancient
clay ballots.

In her practice, Dora Economou


deals with appropriations and abbreviations of patterns. As she
explains:
A pattern is a system that allows
one to cover the most possible
space in the least possible time,
giving away the least possible information. I treat the pattern as a
parasite, which taps energy from its
host but cannot afford to kill it as
long as its dependent on it.
She has exhibited her work in
Greece and abroad.
Dora Economou received a Fulbright student scholarship in 200001 to pursue graduate work in Fine
Arts at New Yorks Pratt Institute.

Inside takes place in a room that has


been placed in a theater in the center
of the city. A simple sequence of moves
carried out everyday by a person returning home is repeated unchangingly
by 30 actors in innumerable combinations and accumulations.
The distance from Greek reality offered to me by the Fulbright scholarship redefined the daring and independent spirit of my creativity. Inside may
have been conceived in 2004, but it
was realized because of this distance.
Dimitris Papaioannou
Dimitris Papaioannou and I are old acquaintances. We first worked together
in 1995, in a performance called A Moment of Silence. Inside, for me, was a
completely different performance, in
which the viewer becomes a part of the
perfromance, feels at home. I was delighted to surrender the rights for this
photograph to the Fulbright Foundation for its Art Series.

the tigers friend, cannot get past his
Western way of thinking and walks
around with the tiger on a leash, as if it
were a pet. The prints are signed and

During her studies at the Hochshule


der Knste Berlin (1988-93), she
experimented with print, photography and film. The design of a
Peloponnesian kilim and its history
of travel from the East to the West
fueled her desire to study fibers. A
Fulbright Foundation Artist grant
(2008) facilitated a research at
The Textile Museums collection in
Washington D.C. She was an Artist
in Residence at Atelier Ted Noten
for the RLD Project funded by the
City of Amsterdam (2009), participated with a Hillary Clinton doll in
the I Care a Lot exhibition on the
Middle East (Trier, Stockholm, Lisbon - 2010), and curated the first
Greek municipal AIR program in
Leonidio, a 19th century town in the
Peloponnese (2010).
In May 2011, she taught Greek embroidery workshops during her
show at Coco-mat in Antwerp,
Amsterdam, and Rotterdam. She
is currently working on a performance concept combining art, education, and social networking.
In 2008, Loukia Richards received

The micro-embroideries series under


the title Portrait Gallery is inspired by
Coptic portrait embroidery, Persian
miniature art and the portrait collections seen at the castles of European
nobility. However, the portraits are
sketched and embroidered after my
sine nobilitatis friends, relatives and
neighbors. The influence of comics on
this work is prominent.
