Administrative Structure Message from the Chairman and Vice-Chairman

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES It is with great emotion that we realise how our parents’ idea to set up a benevolent foundation by way of celebrating the centenary of Credit Bank has Yannis S. Costopoulos led, thirty years on, to a Foundation with such a rich activity. Chairman This anniversary report was conceived to highlight the main achievements Anastasia S. Costopoulos of the Foundation as a sign of respect to the memory of its founders. Even Vice-Chairman and Secretary the most optimistic observer would find it hard to believe how the initial donation of 20,000 shares of Credit Bank in 1979 would turn into 6,620,000 Demetrios P. Mantzounis shares of Alpha Bank today, following additional donations and, mainly, Treasurer the Foundation’s participation in all subsequent share capital increases. Similarly, who could imagine that the seven activities we supported in 1980, Photios P. Costopoulos according to that year’s Report, at a cost of GRD 2 million, or €110,000 in Trustee today’s terms, would become 273 and €3,550,000 in 2008? Or that the total amount distributed to over 3,500 activities to this day would be in excess of Constantinos D. Kerameus €46,000,000? Trustee These and other achievements it is now time to publicise, despite our strict policy to the contrary. It is also time to thank the members of the Board for Hector P. Verykios their invaluable advice, as well as our erstwhile associates who supported us Director from the outset. Special mention is due to Mr Demetrios P. Katsikis, Director of the Foundation from its first day until 2002, and the few but important Katerina H. Koskina associates of the Bank who supported it in the early years. To those as well Artistic Director as to our current associates we extend our thanks for their unstinting efforts and their ideas for the advancement of the Foundation. Thanks are also due to Athanassios G. Efthimiopoulos the many donors, anonymous or otherwise, who have honoured us with over Financial Services 2,000 donations and keep on supporting us, thus demonstrating in practice their faith in the work we pursue.

Establishment

In 1979 Credit Bank, a private sector bank which commenced operations in , celebrated its 100th anniversary. On the occasion, a series of commemorative events were held and a number of memorabilia were produced, including the limited edition album The Banknotes of from 1828 until the present day.

Thirty years later, Credit Bank has evolved into Alpha Bank and these historical promotional ideas, imaginative and pioneering as they were at the time, remain engraved in the memory of people who witnessed them and attest to the Bank’s history and policy. However, the most significant and long-standing legacy of Credit Bank’s centenary celebration is the establishment of the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation. The initial idea for the creation of a non-profit charitable foundation as an endowment to commemorate the centenary belongs to the late Spyro J. Costopulo, the Founder’s last surviving son and Chairman of the Bank. Spyro J. Costopulo and his wife Eurydice each contributed 10,000 of the Bank’s shares to set up the foundation which bears the name of the Bank’s founder, John F. Costopoulos.

Part of the ceiling The donation of Spyro and Eurydice Costopulo was worth 32 million decorations in the drachmae at the time. At present, following further contributions in Foundation’s building after revealing and shares by the departed Spyro Costopulo and by Yannis S.

capital increases of the Bank over the last thirty years, the Foundation holds 6,620,000 Alpha Bank shares and ranks amongst the Bank’s major shareholders (see Appendix: pp. 138-139).

Aim

“The aim of the Foundation is to contribute materially and morally using any expedient means towards the advancement of culture, education and the arts in Greece and to generally assist in welfare acts in such ways as by supporting all kinds of cultural events, scientific, educational or other welfare projects or programmes, by fostering all kinds of educational institutions and professional training schools, museums, art galleries, libraries, etc.”

Article 2 of the Articles of Association

The Board of Trustees

The first Board of Trustees consisted of Spyro J. Costopulo, Chairman; 1 2 Yannis S. Costopoulos, Vice-Chairman and Secretary; Demetrios P. Mantzounis, Treasurer; Anastasia S. Costopoulos; and Photios P. Costopoulos, Trustees. Following the death of Spyro J. Costopulo on 22 June 1984, Yannis S. Costopoulos became Chairman, Anastasia S. Costopoulos became Vice-Chairman and Secretary, and Professor Constantinos D. Kerameus was elected Trustee.

The Staff

In its first years, the Foundation had very few operating expenses as it did not employ any permanent staff. Demetrios Katsikis, then Head of the Bank’s Financial Department, acted as Manager, assisted in his bookkeeping and secretarial tasks by two employees of the Bank on a part- time basis.

Eventually, however, the desire to expand activities in a number of dif- ferent areas generated, after some ten years, the need to employ full-time 1. Portrait of Efstathia J. Costopoulos staff.

12 13 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT THE FOUNDATION, THEN AND NOW – AN INTRODUCTION

At present, Hector Verykios, Secretary of Alpha Bank’s Board of Directors, acts as the Foundation’s Manager, upholding the tradition since its establishment whereby the administrative management is assigned to a high-ranking executive of the Bank. The Foundation currently has a permanent paid staff of six, including the Art Director, an accountant, the secretariat, and a messenger.

Movable assets

“The Foundation’s income, after the deduction of all expenses, is allocated by a minimum of 40% to satisfy the purposes of the Foundation as per article 2 of the present document, and by a minimum of 40% to investments in securities, real estate property and other assets whose proceeds, in the Board of Trustees’ best judgement, would more comprehensively and expediently cater to the purposes of the Foundation by enhancing its income.” Article 9.3 of the Articles of Association

Thanks to the foresight exhibited by the Founders, who included the above clause in the Articles of Association, the initial shares held in Credit Bank (now Alpha Bank) do not constitute the Foundation’s sole assets. As of 1982, part of the income has been invested in the shares of other listed companies and in fixed income bonds such as the purchase of a 1,000,000 drachmae bond issued by the Hellenic Bank for Industrial Development (ETBA)! Through the consistently prudent investment policy invariably pursued by the Board of Trustees, the Foundation currently holds a portfolio in shares and bonds which ensures its robust course and further growth (see Appendix: pp. 140-141).

Premises

As one might have expected, in the early years, the Foundation’s offices were accommodated in leased Bank premises, initially at 40 Stadiou Street, then at 43 Panepistimiou Street and eventually at 41 Panepistimiou Street.

In 2004, the Board of Trustees decided to proceed to the acquisition of John and Efstathia Costopoulos a listed building within the Lemos Center office complex on the corner surrounded by their children. of Karneadou Street and Ploutarchou Street in the area of .

In February 2008, when the Bank’s lease of the building expired, the Foundation relocated to its new premises, once the residence of archaeologist Carl Blegen.

Donors

Following the initial contribution by Spyro and Eurydice Costopulo, the Foundation has continuously been receiving anonymous and eponymous donations of both small and large amounts by people who support its purposes. An exceptionally interesting and outstanding one came in 1982 from an anonymous donor in memory of the Lady of Ro, Despoina Achladioti, who had been running up the Greek flag on this borderline island over 40 years (from 1943 until her death). This reference to donors to our Foundation gives us the opportunity to express our gratitude to all those who have upheld our activities and have actively supported us in our thirty years of operation, with over 2,000 donations (please refer to list on page 147 of the present volume).

Activities

A review of sponsored activities and of the amounts spent for the purposes of the Foundation allows us to draw some conclusions on its course and history. The guidelines were laid in the first few years and were then extended and expanded through time. The Foundation initially set out to pay homage to our national, regional and family roots, which accounts for the support it extended, from its early days, to museums, excavation and restoration works throughout Greece and to cultural and educational programmes, especially in Kalamata. Its fields of operations would soon expand to cover research and the support of welfare associations whose activities focus on vulnerable groups or on creative employment and training options. By the end of the initial ten year period of its existence, the Foundation had embarked on its first actions to support the arts and the environment.

The Foundation’s identity and fields of activities to this day were determined in the 90s, with a marked turn to the fine arts, the preservation of our cultural heritage and its promotion in Greece and abroad. Crowning these efforts was the Foundation’s active involvement in the , The Foundation’s building on the sole area to this day where the Foundation organises its own events. Ploutarchou and Karneadou St, Kolonaki.

16 17 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT THE FOUNDATION, THEN AND NOW – AN INTRODUCTION

A milestone in the Foundation’s second decade was its participation in the operation of a model nursery school in Kalamata, initially conceived as its contribution to the reconstruction of the town after the disastrous earthquake that smote the area. The consolidation of the Foundation’s activities in the mid-90s allows it to focus on the enhancement of its financial resources rather than on further expanding its well-established line of activities.

This publication aspires to provide a more extensive presentation of this brief description. In the course of 30 years, the Foundation has provided support to a multitude of actions that could not be mentioned exhaustively on these pages, with approximately 3,500 instances involving over 1,200 beneficiaries. In 1980, the first year of our operation, we provided support 1 to seven beneficiaries, a number which, in 2008, had grown to 273! 1.

THE CARL BLEGEN RESIDENCE

The building at the corner of Ploutarchou and Karneadou St, at the foot of , was built in 1895-96 for Nikolaos on land which belonged initially to the Petrakis Monastery.

Three years after its completion it was sold by the original owner to army officer Richardos Karamalikis, and in 1917 it was bought by the 1 merchant brothers Gerasimos and Georgios Raftopoulos, who sold it in turn to Elizabeth Blegen in 1929.

Alpha Bank purchased the building in 1991. Following the refurbishment of the interior under the supervision of architect Konstantinos Manouilidis and the restoration of the ceiling revealed during the process, the building housed the Private Banking Division of Alpha Bank until 2007. Meanwhile, in 2004 it had become the property of the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, which moved into it in 2008.

22 23 2. CULTURAL HERITAGE AND TRADITION

Under this heading we have brought together all of the Foundation’s activities which aim to secure the restoration of monuments, and to preserve and promote Greek civilisation. Since this category contains projects and actions meant to safeguard our cultural heritage and identity, it may seem that we support activities which are inhomogeneous, if not downright disparate. This is because we have listed programmes which cover our entire culture from Antiquity to this day, through the work conducted at such varied places and institutions as museums, libraries, societies, monuments, archaeological sites and excavations.

Moreover, given our conviction that culture is found not only in grandiose, impressive achievements but also in folk expression, tradition and everyday life, this category includes support to the activities of regional societies, museums and folklore collections as well as churches, monasteries and Byzantine monuments associated with the traditional, religious, literary and artistic expression of our recent history.

A good example of the Foundation’s activities is the Popular Library of Kalamata, which we have supported continuously since our first year of operation. The Library, which holds some 100,000 volumes and a host of rare periodicals and newspapers, is a compound organisation as it runs as one of its departments the Gallery of Contemporary . The Gallery was further enriched with donations by Anastasia Costopoulos as well as with the bequest of a great number of works by Daphne S. Costopoulos, daughter of Stavros and Danae Costopoulos. Our continuing support to the Popular Library and Contemporary Greek Art Gallery of Kalamata has enabled it to modernise its technical equipment.

There are also several other libraries we have supported throughout the country. One indicative example is the Kaireios Library in . In addition to preserving and running the Library, Kaireios has issued publications which we supported and has restored the Agadakis Castle in the village of Apatouria, Andros, which includes a conference/seminar Benaki Museum (main room and a permanent exhibition of preindustrial agricultural objects. building), the Spyros and Eurydice Costopoulos Gallery.

24 25 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT CULTURAL HERITAGE & TRADITION

The collaboration with museums dedicated to preserving and showcasing our civilisation covers the entire spectrum of the Foundation’s interests and appears in almost all chapters of this publication. Our earliest and most characteristic relationship is with the Benaki Museum. Our ways of supporting the Museum include the purchase of books for its Library, the acquisition of exhibits such as the portraits of and , the restoration of icons, the funding of its research project at the Sanctuary of Amyklaion near Sparta and the creation of a hall for periodic exhibitions at the Main Building on Koumbari Street; the hall is named after our founders, Spyro and Eurydice Costopulo. After the renovated Main Building was reopened and the new building on Pireos Street began to operate, the Foundation has supported many of the Museum’s exhibitions and the publication of accompanying catalogues.

1 2 Considerable support was extended also to the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece – National Historical Museum. The Foundation, at the Society’s request, purchased and donated to the Museum various items which cannot be listed in detail in this volume; indicatively as to the variety of the exhibits we could mention an oil about the Venetians’ offensive to recapture the castles of and Vonitsa in 1717 under Count J. Β. M. Schulenburg, the oil painting under the title Setting fire to a Turkish ship by N. Volanakis, a yatagan of Constantinos Canaris, a golden bracelet of Queen Amalia decorated with a miniature of King Otto, and a knife given by to .

The Foundation has provided similar, albeit smaller, support to many other museums as well, among which the Byzantine Museums of Athens

and , the Museum for the Macedonian Struggle, the Museum 3 4 of the City of Athens, the National Gallery and Alexandros Soutzos Museum and the National Museum of for the purpose of augmenting their collections.

Given the importance we ascribe to the preservation and restoration of national costumes and other traditional artefacts as part of our cultural identity and heritage, we support many folklore museums around Greece, from Thrace to and the Aegean and . 1.

Costopoulos Foundation has provided financial aid. The first was the restoration by the Aegean Maritime Museum of S/S Thales Milissios, the ship which installed the underwater telephone cables in Greece during the twentieth century. The second one concerned the construction by the Maritime Museum of Crete of a replica of a Minoan boat which sailed from to in 2004. A third initiative by the Historical Archives-Museum of was about the purchase and the study for the restoration of Eleni P., a historical wooden cargo boat; the project is still under way. A fourth initiative was our support to the Prikonnisiakos

Sindesmos for the construction of a replica of the traditional rowing boat 1 2 Santala of .

Outside Greece, the Foundation has helped in the renovation of museum halls with Greek and Roman collections, as in the Fitzwilliam Museum of the University of Cambridge or the relocation and rearrangement of the ancient collections of Newcastle University, . Among the projects which combine elements from several categories of our activities are the Greek translation of the educational leaflets in the Louvre halls of Greek, Roman and Etruscan art and a CD with the Cypriot antiquities in the Cesnola Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In a similar spirit, we helped in the construction of special showcases for the Museum of Antiquities in the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, while in the Holy Monastery of St. Catherine at Mount Sinai we worked together with the A. G. Leventis Foundation to support the conversion of the Treasury

into a Museum of the latest specifications. Moreover, together with the A. 3 4 5 G. Leventis Foundation and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation we covered the costs of the exhibition 330-1453, a collaboration between the Royal Academy of Arts in and the Benaki Museum in Athens, shown in the Main Galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 2008-2009.

the celebrations of its 900th anniversary. On the same island we supported also the restoration of the Holy Kathisma of Saint Christodoulos.

In most cases our support to the Church does not have to do with its spiritual mission. The one exception was a possibly unique example of resourcefulness displayed by the Holy of Dryinoupolis, and in the 1980s, before the opening of the Greek- Albanian border, when it tried to meet the religious needs of the

2 inhabitants of Northern and, among other things, resorted to transmitting the religious service via loudspeakers installed on Greek soil! Upon the restoration of the Orthodox Autocephalous Church of , the Foundation’s donations initially went towards rebuilding the infrastructure—repairing the few remaining churches and building new ones, training clergy, developing programmes for the young (camps, youth

1 centres)—and, after the year 2000, towards education, by supporting the Theological Academy, the Greek-Albanian Elementary School of Durres and the Mesopotam Technical School near Sarande, always under the auspices of Archbishop Anastasios.

We opt to support the work of Metropoles in the most remote areas of Greece, such as in Thrace and the . Outside Greece, we have provided financial aid to Metropoles under the Patriarchates of , and All Africa for their missionary work, and to Metropoles under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople for the restoration of relics and Byzantine churches under their jurisdiction.

Among the projects of restoring Byzantine relics we have supported since 1991 was the restoration of the major collection of religious icons in the Patriarchate of Alexandria, under the supervision of Professor and Member

3 4 of the Athens Academy Panayotis Vocotopoulos. Another project that was approved concerned the restoration of Byzantine and post-Byzantine icons 1.

32 33 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT CULTURAL HERITAGE & TRADITION

excavations in caves, prehistoric and historic monuments in Greece and abroad. Space does not permit us to describe all of them, we shall retain only five which we consider to be of national importance, starting in chronological order from Greece and ending abroad:

Mycenae: The Foundation supported from the start the initiative of the Archaeological Society in Athens to publish a study of the finds from fifty years of excavations at Mycenae, together with the excavation logs and all attendant records. The overall project is supervised by Professor and Member of the Athens Academy Spyros Iakovides, who has

excavated the site over the past five decades and since 1988 has directed 2 the continuation of the excavation. As Prof. Iakovides explains, “this sponsorship has greatly facilitated the progress of the programme for the publication of the excavation project at Mycenae”. That programme involved a full and detailed topographical survey of the acropolis of Mycenae by crews from the National Technical University, the description of over twenty buildings within and outside the acropolis and the cataloguing, description and photographing of all stratified finds, including some 200,000 sherds found during the excavations. The findings of the study have led to the safer and more accurate dating of the years of prosperity and decline in the acropolis, the gradual shrinking of the palatial economy and the changing uses of the various spaces. According to Prof. Iakovides “these publications will lead to conclusions about the historical course of Mycenae”.

Ancient Messene: The Foundation began to support the excavations 1 carried out by Professor Petros Themelis in 1986 and continued to do so for twenty-one years. According to Prof. Themelis, “the Foundation

contributed greatly to the restoration and the opening to the public 3 of monuments which were not included in the CULTURE operational programme of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism”. The completed operations include: restoration and consolidation works on the rectangular tower no. 17 situated to the northeast of the Arcadian Gate, one of the best-preserved towers along the impressive fortifications; restoration of the four-column, Doric Propylon—the monumental gate which leads to the western arcade of the Gymnasium and thence to the Stadium; restoration of the Κ3 burial monument in the western arcade of the Gymnasium; 1. Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine at Mount Sinai. restoration of the Fountain of ; restoration of the Doric temple in 2. Sanctuary of Amyklaion from the east. the ; restoration of the Thesaurus in the Agora; refurbishment of the 3. Mycenae, Georgios Mylonas and Spyros Basilica; restoration of the burial monument to the east of the Asclepius Iakovides excavating in the mid-1960s.

sanctuary. Additionally, restoration work was carried out on the statue of Hermes on display at the Museum within the site, and two vehicles were purchased to meet the needs of the restoration and excavation works. The completion of these tasks helps and promotes the excavation, restoration and museological work on Ancient Messene.

Choregic monument of Thrasyllos: The Foundation has been funding the reconstruction of major parts from the frieze of the choregic monument of Thrasyllos on the southern slope of the Acropolis of Athens. The overall programme is headed by Professor Alexander Mantis, supervised by the Committee for the Investigation, Consolidation, Restoration and Enhancement of the Theatre and Sanctuary of Dionysos and the

1 2 Asclepieion and is funded in part by the 3rd Community Support Framework of the EU. Prof. Mantis explains that “this special choregic monument was preserved in its place until 1827, when it was bombed and ruined during the War of Independence. The study for its restoration was aimed at collecting and processing data, which came to support the idea of attempting the partial restoration of what has been an outstanding element in the historical landscape of the Acropolis for over twenty-two centuries. […] The Foundation’s involvement concerns a total of eight stones, which is an important number. These are parts from prominent areas on the façade of the building”. The necessary additional funding by the Foundation helps restore a prominent element in the historical landscape of the Acropolis and symbolically links through the centuries the ancient sponsorship of Thrasyllos with the contemporary one from the Foundation.

Hellenic Institute of Marine Archaeology: the long collaboration between

3 4 the Institute and the Foundation started in 1989, when we helped with the excavation of one of the most important ancient shipwrecks near the island of Dokos in the Argolic Gulf. Other large-scale underwater excavations of prehistoric and historic cargo ships were also supported throughout the 1990s at Cape Iria-Argolida; Antidragonera-Kythera and from 2000 to this day at locations in the Pagasetic, Saronic and South Evoikos Gulfs.

major projects over the years has been instrumental in promoting marine archaeology in our country”.

Hellenic Institute of Ancient and Medieval Alexandrian Studies: The In- stitute has obtained a license from the Egyptian authorities to carry out marine archaeological research on the eastern coast of Alexandria. Since 2001, the Foundation has supported, at first exclusively and ever since continuously, these excavations which have provided a wealth of evidence on the ancient city’s history and topography, and their finds are now on show at the archaeological museum of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which has also been supported by the Foundation. Professor Harry Tzalas points out that the findings from twelve years of excavations are “impressive in number and volume as well as in terms of the new evidence they add to the history and the topography of the great city of Ptolemaic, Roman and

Islamic times”. The Greek archaeological delegation with its constant pres- 1 2 ence has earned an equal place next to its two major French counterparts.

Ancient Greek and Byzantine antiquities are often shown in temporary exhibitions in Greek and foreign museums. We have already mentioned the exhibition on Byzantium at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. We were also among the foundations and companies which supported the exhibition Byzantium: Faith and Power (1261-1557) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2004. The exhibition, as MET Director Dr Thomas Campbell reminds us, was seen as one of that year’s top events, and its catalogue received two major art-history awards in the . In association with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation we supported the exhibition Athos, hosted at the Helsinki City Art Museum in 2006, and the exhibition Eros: From Hesiod’s Theogony to Late Antiquity at the Museum of in 2009. Special mention is due to our collaboration with

the Musée du Louvre in the publication of the catalogue for the Praxiteles 3 4 exhibition which then travelled to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens in 2007. 1.

In the same vein, the Foundation supports publications of scientific, historical and research, but little commercial, interest. These include the two-volume collection of 35 papers by archaeologist Ioulia Vocotopoulos in 2001; the Mount Athos Centre’s 2008 album: Mount Athos. Panayotis L. Vocotopoulos. Photographs 1956-2001, with 165 photographs of buildings and landscapes on Mount Athos; the monography on the work of architect Aris Konstantinidis by the Mondadori Electa Publications; two volumes on the architecture and urban planning of modern Athens by Professor Alexandros Papageorgiou-Venetas: (1804-1860). A Collection of documents on the planning of Athens and Piraeus (1998) and Amalia’s Garden: Design, Establishment and Evolution of the National Garden of Athens – A Contribution to Athenian Historiography (2008), as well as two books by Professor Eleni Fessa-Emmanuil: Theatre Architecture in Modern Greece: 1720-1940 (1992) and Twelve Greek Architects of the Interwar Period (Distinguished Greek Architects of the 20th Century) (1999). Our support to the Society for the Study of Greek History has helped to produce or reprint many historical publications. Equally, we have repeatedly supported the Society for Macedonian Studies.

Our funding activities have included the translation of classical texts into Modern Greek. The most recent examples are the translations of the seven extant tragedies of and the other seven extant tragedies of Sophocles by journalist and writer Andreas Zoulas in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the translation of the Iliad by Professor Dimitris Maronitis in 2009.

Finally, reference must be made to the Greek Font Society, which keeps a variety of digital fonts in polytonic Greek consisting of both historical examples and new designs in keeping with our typographical tradition.

42 43 3. CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

It is evident that all activities of the Foundation concern society as a whole and usually aim at the dissemination of intellectual wealth. However, some of the initiatives we have supported over the years have been about providing material help to sensitive groups of people or about protecting the fauna and flora of our country and the region.

Specifically, in the context of our long-term relationship with Cerebral Palsy Greece, the Society has provided grants for its members’ training in special education or speech therapy. More importantly, perhaps, it has organised two highly successful Performing Art and Experiential Seminars which brought together over 250 young people from Greece and abroad, with or without disabilities, in a creative combination of dance, theatre, music and visual art.

Wishing to promote the social rehabilitation and reintegration of children, adolescents and young adults with serious psychosocial problems such as mental illness, mental retardation and their attendant difficulties, we supported the Association for the Psychosocial Health of Children and Adolescents in setting up its second Community Home. The Home hosts eight to ten adolescents and youths five days a week, so as to ensure a homelike atmosphere and setting and to encourage the families to have them back with them over the weekends.

Similar aid has been provided over the years to many associations dedicated to socially vulnerable groups in and beyond. In a combination of social contribution and education, the Foundation supports professional training schemes for the disabled as well as production units in the form of workshops. The most recent examples from the last two years include the Parents and Friends’ Association for the Mentally Retarded Aghios Nikolaos, the Theotokos Foundation, the Recreation Centre for Occupying Mentally Retarded Children Parent and Guardian Board Aghios Panteleimon, the Saint Demetrius Children’s Care and Welfare Centre, the Society of Parents, Guardians and Friends of People with Mental Disabilities Ergastiri, the Association of the Parents-Guardians and Friends Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature, of Autistic Children S.O.S., the Society for the Protection of Disabled awarding the International People of Karystos and the Association of the Parents-Guardians and Programme Eco-Schools. Friends of Autistics in Aghios Vassileios.

44 45 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

This indicative list demonstrates the great range of needs and our inability to support all the worthy causes submitted to us. However, we shall stop at just two more projects we were able to support. The first one is that of the Heliotropio Social and Environmental Action Society which, as part of its educational programmes, produces special educational material to promote the direct, experiential perception of nature for children with visual problems. According to the Society itself, these programmes “are designed to prevent the marginalisation of people with disabilities and reinforce their personality, to raise environmental awareness and to promote a change of attitudes towards disability. We have made a series of models and educational toys which contribute to experiential learning, and we have carried out a series of events which brought together children with and without disabilities”. The second undertaking, of a more

recreational nature, is addressed to children in hospitals and child care 1 2 institutions, to whom the New Art Scene of the Theatre of Neos Kosmos gives theatrical performances; indeed, the actors sometimes happened to perform before just one child.

Social initiatives are based primarily on volunteerism, the spirit of which has been traditionally promoted in our country by the Boy and Girl Scouts (Soma Hellinon Proskopon-Scouts of Greece) and the Greek Guiding Association, two organisations which our Foundation has supported over a long time. Since 1994 we have added Elix, Conservation Volunteers Greece, a Non Governmental Organisation which promotes volunteerism and organises volunteer work programmes for youths from all over the world. These programmes are about contributing volunteer work for worthy community projects in collaboration with local associations, environmental organisations and societies which decide upon the project

and provide hospitality to the volunteers. Elix has already organised over 3 4 300 projects in 104 communities around Greece, with the participation of more than 6,200 young people.

In the area of environmental protection, the Foundation has been 1.

Eco-Schools which aims to promote environmental awareness, education and changing attitudes of students in matters relating to the environment. According to the Society, the “Eco-Schools Programme encourages children to participate in the decision-making, the design and the implementation of actions aimed at environmental protection”. Our Foundation also supported the Society’s initiative to collect and publish the articles written by Myrto Apergi for the magazine I Fysi in a single volume under the title Experiences from Greek Nature.

Another crucial contribution was to the early education programmes of the Gaia Centre of the Goulandris Natural History Museum, which were designed in collaboration with the Natural History Museum of London and aimed at awakening the visitor’s environmental awareness. Again in the area of environmental issues we must include our contribution to the Third International Environmental Symposium The Danube-A Network for a Living River, held in October, 1999 under the auspices of His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The Symposium highlighted the problems in the ecosystem of the river Danube as a result of pollution, overexploitation and destruction from the then-recent war in Yugoslavia.

Many societies deal with animal protection, given the urgent need to rescue the most specific species threatened with extinction. One of those we have often supported is the Association of Ecologists of Hydra, which started by protecting the traditional character of the island of Hydra and later made a key goal of protecting the marine environment of the eastern Peloponnese and the Saronic Gulf. Other societies we have supported include the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece Archelon; the Arcturos Environmental Centre for wildlife and environmental protection, mainly on Mount Pindos; the Silva Project for the preservation of the small Skyrian poneys; and the Hellenic Wildlife Hospital on , which has treated thousands of wild animals, most of which are from species protected by national and EU legislation.

In our country, all the institutions which deal with the protection of nature and the environment have also undertaken to educate and increase the public’s awareness, such as the Greek Society for Environmental Information and Education, which we have supported repeatedly. The title of the society condenses the entire problem of Greece in this area and brings us to the following chapters, which deal in more detail with our activities in Research and Education.

48 49 4. SCIENCE AND RESEARCH

The funding of research and the support of science have been central to the activities of the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, since there can be no civilisation without these two elements.

Several scholars have been able to continue or complete their research thanks to the Foundation’s aid. Space and the character of this publication does not permit a detailed reference to all of those individuals, whose names are listed in the Appendix. One example which reflects the Foundation’s approach in the cases of individual scholars is that of the late Eleni Koukkou, Professor at the University of Athens, who devoted her research to the life and work of . Unfortunately, due to her death, the research remains incomplete and therefore has not yet been published.

It is our aim to focus mostly on collective research projects, preferably through established educational institutions. One example is the scientific team from the University of Athens which studied the Antikythera Mechanism in collaboration with international experts; the team, which is not the only one studying the Mechanism, was able to upgrade its technical equipment and present its latest findings in conferences and exhibitions in Greece and abroad. Similarly—and exceptionally, since this is not directly relevant to our aims—we sponsored the purchase of equipment by the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Athens Academy.

We have frequently supported research via the National Hellenic Research Foundation and specifically the Institute for Neohellenic Research. Recent examples include the Seminars at Hermoupolis of 2006, the digitisation of the Ergography of Modern Greek Historiography and the Bibliography of the History of Historiography (15th-20th c.), two research missions to southern Russia for the study of the Greek contribution to the development of the port towns in the Azov Region (19th & early 20th c.) and the reprint of Greek Painters after the Fall of Constantinople (1450-1830) by the Byzantinologist and Member of the Athens Academy Manolis Chatzidakis.

50 51 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT SCIENCE & RESEARCH

scientific interest was our contribution to the digital restitution of the Codex Sinaiticus. Under the auspices of the British Library, the manuscript of the Codex was put together from three fragments which were kept in different libraries, as part of a long-term project for the authentication, preservation, transcription and eventual digitisation of the Codex. Among other digitising projects is that of the Archives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, undertaken by the Research Committee of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The wealth of the archive and the importance of the project becomes evident when we consider that during the systematic phase of 1998-2004 the experts digitised approximately one million pages. Another example is the digitisation of the student registers of the Hill School since the 19th century.

1 Science is also promoted through congresses, a field in which the

Foundation has been consistently active in its thirty-year history. 2 One indicative example is the congress on The Fourth Crusade and its Consequences under the auspices of the Athens Academy in 2004, upon the 800th anniversary from the Fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders in 1204.

The broader field of research includes also scientific journals specialising in specific areas, such as the magazines Mnemon of the Society for the Study of New Hellenism; Historein. A review of the Past and Other Stories of the Cultural and Intellectual History Society; Diotima, by the Hellenic Society for Philosophical Studies; Peloponnesiaka, by the Society for Peloponnesian Studies; Eranistès, by the Association D’ Études des Lumières En Grèce; or The Numismatic Chronicles of the Hellenic

Numismatic Society. The editorial committees of all these periodicals 3 include researchers from all age groups who represent the scientific trends of their time. 1. British Library, manuscript of the Codex Sinaiticus. 2. National Hellenic Research Foundation, Institute of 4 As a counterbalance to the support towards scientific periodicals, the Modern Greek Studies, front cover of the reprinted book by Byzantinologist and Member of the Athens Academy Foundation promotes also longer-term publishing projects which involve Manolis Chatzidakis Greek Painters after the Fall of the collaboration of specialists in various disciplines from around the Constantinople (1450-1830). world.

52 53 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT SCIENCE & RESEARCH

Another area of research concerns modern methods which arise from the need to develop fresh approaches or revise the existing ones. One such undertaking which our Foundation supports is the forthcoming book by the Theatre Company Attis which describes, among other things, Theodoros Terzopoulos’s Biodynamic Method—the product of many years of research in the field of theatrical expression with particular emphasis on ancient tragedy. The Foundation’s aid was used for organising the archive material, digitising part of it, developing some 3,000 exercises and helping the method to evolve.

The fusion between ancient drama and contemporary acting is also the object of the Meetings for Young Artists organised annually by the European Cultural Centre of and often supported by the Foundation, in which distinguished actors and directors teach methods of understanding and interpretation of ancient drama from all performing

1 arts, i.e. theatre, dance, music, new technologies, etc. We believe that in addition to enriching the knowledge and experience of the participating students from all approved schools in the country, this project promotes

2 research as such in a creative way.

54 55 5. EDUCATION AND STUDIES

The promotion of Education in the broader sense of the word is naturally among the primary aims of the Foundation. In this chapter, it is firstly worth noting the Foundation’s commitment to supporting the Efstathia J. Costopoulos Foundation as regards the running expenses of the Yiayia’s Garden Model Nursery School which the Costopoulos family established in Kalamata.

Just as the inception of the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation is linked to a major event for the Bank, the establishment of the Efstathia J. Costopoulos Foundation is associated with the official opening of the Bank’s Main Building on February 20, 1987; during the inauguration ceremony it was announced that the family, the Bank and the Foundation intended to contribute to the rebuilding of Kalamata following the earthquakes of September, 1986 by donating a plot and building a model nursery school. The Bank undertook to build and equip the nursery school on a plot which formed part of the dowry of Efstathia J. Costopoulos and had been inherited by Anastasia and Yannis S. Costopoulos. Since 1994, when the nursery school began to operate, its operational expenses are covered by the same three parties. At this point we should let Anastasia Costopoulos, Vice-Chairman of the Foundation, relate the creation of Yiayia’s Garden:

“It was several months after the night of the earthquake in Kalamata in September, 1986. The tears had dried and the image of our homeless fellow citizens was beginning to fade. Everything had been organised more or less, and we in Athens spent several evenings talking about what we could do for the people of our ruined city from then on… Among the various plans formed in our minds and hearts the word “nursery school” had come up; that was an initiative which could go ahead only with the aid and contribution of friends and specialists. So by the day my brother Yannis S. Costopoulos called me to sign the articles of association for the nursery school, things were already under way. The contract was about a creche to be built on a large section of the garden of our grandmother Efstathia J. Costopoulos. It was going to be called “Yiayia’s Garden”; the architectural design was to be offered by the architect Alexandros Efstathia J. Costopoulos Samaras, and the structural and mechanical designs by Victor Ampakoumkin Foundation, Yiayia’s and Elias Cavoulakos, respectively. The in-situ architectural work was to be Garden Model Nursery undertaken by the architects Vilma Apostolaki and Giorgos Papaemmanouil, who School. lived and worked in Kalamata.

56 57 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT EDUCATION AND STUDIES

In any case our property—a strip of land with an orchard and a vegetable garden and a small ground floor house on Aristomenous Street—had fallen victim to the earthquake. Any kind of initiative was welcome but also to the detriment of the old city, as the drive for reconstruction spelled the end for the few remaining gardens; most of the old mansions had already been damaged and blocks of flats rose one after the other. Now we had found the best possible solution to trigger our memories from our childhood summers: half of the garden was to be turned into a playground for the children, and the other half would remain as an orchard for the pupils to take care of and learn some gardening. The school was built, and many classes of various sizes were formed. Since then I have been happily involved in the development of the nursery school, following

closely the various aspects and the requirements of its operation and making 1 some good friends in the process. The school, thanks to the dynamic contribution of its current Head, Adriani Roussopoulou-Kallikouni, is now in great demand. In addition to the pupils from poor families, every year we get more requests

than we can accommodate from parents anxious to enrol their children, and 2 we are forced to turn some of them down. It is an achievement which has been embraced by the city and ties us even more closely to it. Besides, the obligations we undertook towards this once hard-hit local community remain the same and more. The donation was made, and the fairytale stops here.”

Each year the Efstathia J. Costopoulos Foundation hosts toddlers and preschool children from families with very low incomes or others who are in temporary social or financial difficulties. Tuition and meals are provided for free. The specially trained staff provides the everyday, child-centred educational programme, offers additional individual or group classes in music education and painting and organises many extra activities within the school or in the city. Special attention is available for children whose

parental care is deemed insufficient, through the Afternoon Programme 3 4 which is hosted in a separate area with a homelike atmosphere.

In addition to the educational programme and the activities for children, the school provides workshops for the education and training of parents, through which unemployed parents discover and develop new skills, express themselves creatively and gradually enter or re-enter the job market. The school thus continues to support over time its former pupils— Efstathia J. Costopoulos over twelve hundred and fifty till now—and their families.

58 59 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT EDUCATION AND STUDIES

Our support to Education goes beyond this school and into the area of participation of Greece in the discourse among the international academic scholarships, the endowment of university Chairs, the contributions for community on issues around the progress and the future of European organising scientific meetings and the provision of funds to specific integration. By attracting distinguished researchers with a long experience research projects. abroad, it has contributed also to the upgrading and the advancement of the research carried out in Greece”. Another move in the direction of It has been our constant concern from the outset to keep down our supporting young Greek scientists was that for a postdoctoral scholarship operating costs. To this end, the Foundation did not develop a mechanism at the Center of the Johns Hopkins University. for assessing scholarship applicants, opting instead to provide grants through established organisations. For instance, we have a long working In addition to our long-running involvement to undertakings such relationship with the American Educational Foundation (Fulbright as the above there have been various instances of one-off support to Programme), we have supported the Princeton University Programme in internationally renowned and highly symbolic Chairs of Greek studies.

foundations, including ours, have been working on the Education and Development Initiative, with the aims of preparing a Study of Employment for Graduates of Higher Education, developing a web-based educational Game on the internet, providing educational and cultural material for schools over the internet, preparing a Guide for Studies (both undergraduate and postgraduate) and Employment and setting up a Network of School Innovation. The first four aims have been attained; for the fifth aim, which is also the main one, the Foundations are in talks with the Hellenic Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religious Affairs so that they can hand over the project as it is now to be continued by the Ministry.

Irrespective of its ultimate outcome, the Education and Development 1 2 Initiative has helped us to establish regular communication with similar foundations with which we had already collaborated on occasion, as it has been mentioned before, particularly in the area of supporting art projects.

62 63 6. ARTS

Over the years, the Foundation has linked its name with art exhibitions, mainly retrospectives, for Greek or Greek-born artists of international acclaim. This began in 1994, when the State Museums of Contemporary Art in Athens and Thessaloniki had yet to be established and there were no similar private museums, either. This activity is dealt with in the next and final chapter of this Anniversary Report as the sole area of productive action by the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation.

In this chapter we shall examine the various other artistic activities we have supported and which have not been mentioned in other sections of this presentation.

In the area of Music, the Foundation was one of the many benefactors who contributed to the completion of the (the Megaron). Since then, we have supported the Megaron for various concerts, such as those by the Philarmonia Orchestra of London in 1993 or those by the pianist Apostolos Palios, whom we had supported for the completion of his studies in , Hara Iakovidou on the works of Nikos Skalkottas, and Haris Vrontos for the dissemination of his music. The Foundation has supported also the educational programmes of the Athens Concert Hall.

In the same field, we have supported the Greek National in the activities of its Chamber Orchestra, as well as major events outside Athens, including our systematic support to the International Music Festivals of Aegina and Paxos. We have been active also in the area of preserving and issuing on CD the work of such eminent Greek composers as Nikos Skalkottas, Dimitris Mitropoulos and Georgios Kasassoglou; one indicative example is the successful production of a CD with works of Nikos Skalkottas by Danae Kara. Moreover, we have promoted the work of such contemporary Greek composers as Thanassis Moraitis, Vangelis Petsalis and Efstathios Mavrommatis, who were supported to record their unpublished works.

Edafos Dance Theatre: True to our principle of supporting not only classical and contemporary Forever, dance music but also projects for the preservation of our customs and traditions, performance. we have provided regular aid to the Society for the Dissemination of

National Music Simon Karas for the organisation of musical events, such as the annual concert commemorating the 29th of May which has been given continuously since 1930 or for the publication of books such as Simon Karas’ manuscript entitled Anastasimatario. In the same vein we have supported the Choir of Saint George Karytsis-Themistoclis Polykratis and the Melpo Merlier Music Folklore Archive. We promote also musical education through the activities of societies such as the Jeunesses Musicales de Grèce, the Athens Choir and the local conservatoires and philharmonic societies of the Ionian Islands.

In the field of dance, we have long supported the work of the Lyceum of Hellenic Women, mainly in Kalamata but also in other cities in Greece

and abroad, and the Greek Dances-Dora Stratou Theatre for its shows 1 2 on the Filopappos Hill. Both organisations promote the preservation of our traditions by studying, presenting and teaching dances from all over Greece, reproducing traditional costumes and recording songs from various regions of the country. It is worth noting that the costumes they preserve are not mere museum pieces, but are used in the major productions on Greek traditional themes they present annually in Greece and abroad.

Apart from traditional dances we have contributed to the presentation in Greece of the avant-garde work of Greek or foreign choreographers. The best known example, due to our long-standing donation from 1998 to 2009, is that of the Kalamata International Dance Festival, which has become the top contemporary dance event in Greece and one of the major

dance events in Europe. The Festival has presented 74 foreign dance 3 4 groups, of which 53 appeared for the first time in Greece—among them Merce Cunningham, Trisha Braun, Jan Fabre, Philippe Decouflé and Jérôme Bel—as well as 30 Greek dance companies, including Zouzou Nikoloudi, and Konstantinos Rigos. It is worth noting that the Foundation has supported the early years of contemporary dance groups and contributed to this flourishing kind of art in the last fifteen years. These groups include Oktana, Sine Qua Non and Edafos Dance Theatre, from 1991 to 2003, whose performance Forever was choreographed by D. Papaioannou before he was commissioned to prepare the Opening Ceremony for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Similar support for more than three years has been extended also to other 1. 12th Kalamata International Dance Festival, contemporary dance companies such as the Contemporary Dance Group of Emanuel Gat. 2.

Equally important, although more numerous, are the subsidies in the area of the Theatre. The Foundation aims to provide equal support to non- commercial productions from the field of classical repertory and ancient drama and from that of contemporary and . We have supported the avant-garde efforts of both young and established actors in the productions of the theatre companies Morfes, Argo, Semio, Sfendoni, Spring Theatre and Notos. All these companies were financially supported for several years. Many young and active artists emerged through these ventures, and some of them have stood out on the Greek scene.

Sometimes, the Foundation has supported initiatives which combine theatrical productions with education. One indicative example is the National Theatre’s Readings, which had started under the title

1 Analogio Festival and presented new plays by established as well as younger playwrights. The Foundation’s support enabled the National Theatre to activate a mechanism of more than 130 artists (100 actors approximately and more than 30 other contributors), while the Theatre’s entire production department helped throughout these activities, from organisation and rehearsals to the final presentation.

Another type of initiative for special young audiences combines entertain-

3 ment with charity work, such as that provided in hospitals by the New Art Scene of the Theatre of Neos Kosmos and which the Foundation supports, as we mentioned earlier. Another worthy case is that of the Greek Puppet Theatre which has created the bulk of its artistic work during the 1990s.

2 Its productions are primarily addressed to children, but include adult audi- ences, too. Additionally, the Greek Puppet Theatre, aims to organise con- gresses and workshops on puppet construction and handling.

In addition to music, dance and theatre we have supported various activi- ties regarding photography, such as the anniversary retrospective on the 20 years since the founding of the Photography Circle in the Benaki Museum, and promoted growth in other, less developed areas of artistic expression which employ new digital or audiovisual technology. This category in- cludes a donation to t-SHORT, a non-profit company for the creation of a database and a digital festival for the promotion of short films.

Our limited contributions in this field are often associated with actions we support in other areas. For instance, we supported the production of the documentary film The Journey and the Visual language of as part of his solo exhibition aboard the cargo vessel IONION, the film of Tassos Rigopoulos on Lucas Samaras or the Portolanos Film documentary about the National Garden. Moreover, certain of our donations into research projects, publications or exhibitions of archaeological, Byzantine or generally historical interest involved the production of short films which we also supported. Indicative examples include The Hide, a documentary by Vassilis Kosmopoulos about the actions taken in Greece during World War II to conceal and preserve antiquities, or The Ring by Andreas Apostolidis, which was accompanied by the exhibition History Lost, financially supported by us, and later by a book with the same title. We supported also the production of Macedonia, The Hellenistic Civilisation as far as Asia,

a film in which Photis Constantinidis presents Macedonia’s major historical 1 2 role in shaping civilisation in Europe and beyond, during the period beginning with Alexander the Great and ending with Cleopatra, known as Hellenistic, according to Johann Gustav Droysen. Likewise, we supported the Notos Productions film Travelling in the Shadow of Byzantium, based on William Dalrymple’s book From the Holy Mountain. A Journey in the Shadow of Byzantium. Also worth mentioning is our contribution to the production of The Journey: The Greek American Dream, a documentary film produced by the Proteus non-profit organisation and directed by Maria Iliou about Greek emigration to the USA from 1890 to 1980.

Our brief look into documentaries concludes with the productions of Periplus, a company we have supported for its films Sinasos, Mediterranean Stories – which is about customs around the harvesting of grapes, wheat and olives in Greece, and and shows the common threads

We shall close this reference to filmmaking with a few words about directors whose work relates directly to the visual arts. Antouanetta Angelidi was supported in 1995 for her much-awarded film The Hours and in 2001 for the also prize winning Thief or Reality. We supported the same filmmaker for the script of the film / Kore, co-developed with Rea Wallden and shown at the 6th Avant-garde Film Festival in 2009. Katerina Thomadaki and Maria Klonari, who have always worked as a team, received a grant for restoring and digitising their work which was deemed to be part of the cultural heritage of , the country in which they work and teach. Similar support was given to Temenos, a non-profit organisation formed to preserve the archive of Gregory J. Markopoulos and fulfil his vision by using original material from 1947 to 1991, to produce

1 2 the film Eniaios—an 80-hour production in 22 cycles which include mythical narratives, portraits of intellectuals and studies of archaeological and architectural monuments. The first cycles were shown in 2004 and 2008 at Temenos, a locality near the village of Lyssarea, .

Apart from the art exhibitions we have organised or co-organised, the Foundation has helped contemporary artists to exhibit their work in Greece and abroad or represent our country in international art events. This is our most extensive activity in geographical terms, as we have supported the Greek participation in the Biennales of Sao Paolo in 1987, 1989 and 1996, in 1988, 1990, 1993, 1997, 1999, 2007 and 2009, Cetinje in 1997 and 2002, Berlin and Sydney in 2004 and Alexandria and Ireland

3 4 in 2006. In 2007 we supported the organising of the Biennales of Athens and Thessaloniki. The artists in these events include, among many others, George Lappas, Thanassis Totsikas, Costas Varotsos, Vassiliki Tsekoura, , Bia Davou, Vangelis Vlachos, Dimitris Alithinos.

I am moved and happy by the fact that this note is written on the occasion of the Foundation’s thirtieth anniversary. What I am about to write is about the Foundation’s ‘inclination’ towards the presentation of the oeuvre of visual artists; I might as well say ‘keel over’ instead of ‘inclination’, since it all started aboard an old cargo vessel which was anchored in Piraeus sixteen years back (1994).

From the inception of the Foundation to that day, I signed diligently the Minutes of the Board Meetings according to the instructions of Mr D. Katsikis as to where I should put my name. The content was rather indifferent to me, and I asked no questions; I still preferred to paint at the time. Yet I did want us to provide help to artists. The Foundation had begun to support art exhibitions as well as the Greek delegations to Biennales. In 1991 I met Katerina Koskina, we worked together and later she joined the Foundation.

During a visit to the Bernier/Eliades Gallery I was approached by Marina Eliades who told me that she wanted to organise a major retrospective for Jannis Kounellis and was wondering if the Foundation might be interested. Till then we had supported through the Foundation some minor shows for certain artists, but what Marina had in mind was a major undertaking. Kounellis, while born in Greece, was an Italian citizen and was seen as an Italian painter of Greek origin. Delighted with her proposal, I began to talk to people in order to decide what to do, since Athens had no major exhibition venues at the time and artists hesitated to go into such an adventure. Kounellis himself solved the problem by suggesting, as a true avant-garde artist, a highly un-museum-like venue: a ship. And as if by miracle, a cargo vessel was found. It was called IONION, named after the sea which connects his birthplace, Greece, with his adoptive country— Italy. Kounellis was overjoyed at this and worked hard aboard the cargo vessel to prepare the show. This, too, was a kind of retrospective of his work till then, and became a point of reference for the Athenian art scene at the time. Association for Business Sponsorship of the Arts Since then the Foundation has devoted a large part of its budget to Art. The (OΜEPO), awarding the years that followed saw many art projects for Greek artists or artists of Greek Foundation in the context of Arts and Sponsors, descent who lived abroad. Among them were Nelly’s (1997-1998), Pavlos (1997), Sponsorship Awards 1998. Costas Tsoclis (2000), Lucas Samaras (2005), Stephen Antonakos (2007-2008), Yannis Gaitis (2008).

That was how I began to get more directly involved with things at the Foundation, and even though I keep saying that I am getting old and should give it up, I am still there all the time. I have come to love the three girls, Meni, Vivian and Magda, and I’ll drop in to hear their news even when there is no other business to be dealt with by me. special chapter in the history of the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, and a decisive activity for its identity, is that of its own Finally, I should like to share with my brother Yannis Costopoulos the following Aexhibitions and publications. It all started in 1994, with the thought: I do not know whether John F. Costopoulos, after whom the Foundation exhibition of the internationally renowned Jannis Kounellis, and continues is named, was as great a lover of art as our own father and mother. In any case, to this day. Focusing mainly on contemporary art exhibitions and their our parents’ interest and love for art was so fervent that I am sure they would be accompanying catalogues, this activity sometimes goes into other areas happy with the Foundation’s specialisation in the direction of artistic creation. such as the production of self-contained publications, documentary films of artistic and cultural character, and conferences. Nevertheless, it is the Anastasia Costopoulos field of art exhibitions which has established the Foundation in the minds Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the art-loving public as one of the major institutions, whether private or public, which support and promote the visual arts in Greece and abroad.

Even when the Foundation embarked on organising its own exhibitions, it never ceased to support exhibitions organised by other institutions at a time when few venues, private or public, promoted contemporary art; in the early 1990s the state museums of contemporary art had not been founded yet nor had the private or regional museums, collections and foundations acquired their own spaces. The Greek art scene in the 1980s and 1990s was a lot different than the current one; if not actually barren, it was still inhospitable when it came to contemporary art. Even in the field of commercial artistic activity, very few galleries dealt exclusively in contemporary art and even fewer in international contemporary art. The concerted efforts to promote domestic art and link it to the European scene did not start until the second half of the 1990s, with the establishment of the Hellenic Art Galleries Association. This means that Art Athina did not exist yet, while the auctions by Greek and international Houses which were beginning to be held in Greece did not encompass contemporary art. Under these circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, wishing to support contemporary artistic expression in addition to other aspects of culture, decided to collaborate with other supporters of contemporary art in promoting the oeuvre of Greek or Greek-born artists who had gained international acclaim, particularly in the second half of the twentieth century and specifically after the 1960s.

The fact that the Foundation did not have its own exhibition venue proved in fact to be beneficial. On the one hand, it enabled us to organise

78 79 THE J. F. COSTOPOULOS FOUNDATION ANNIVERSARY REPORT PRODUCTIONS – CO-PRODUCTIONS – CO-ORGANISATIONS – COLLABORATIONS

exhibitions in unconventional venues, as we can see in the list and the accompanying photographs in this chapter, boosting the impact of the shows and underscoring the alternative, versatile nature of contemporary art; on the other hand, it led to collaborations with many other institutions in the country, as befits the Foundation’s benevolent and

flexible orientation. Many of these collaborations grew over the years and Association expanded into other areas, often providing excellent results and helping for Business to change the landscape with regard to the reception and appreciation of Sponsorship of contemporary art in our country. Among these collaborations, it is worth the Arts (OΜEPO), awarding the noting in particular those with the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Foundation in the Art, the Benaki Museum, the National Gallery-Alexandros Soutzos Museum context of Arts and the Athens School of Fine Arts; in 1994, the latter was supported and Sponsors, by the Foundation in opening and inaugurating with an exhibition of the Sponsorship Awards 1997. sculptor Takis the exhibition space named The Factory which remained for several years as the only venue for large and important contemporary art exhibitions in Athens. and useful programme of exhibitions—would not be justified, since all of the Foundation’s exhibitions had something special about them and they Since 1994 and on an almost annual basis, the Foundation has had a are said to reflect a new approach to the concept of contemporary art constant presence on the modern and contemporary art scene, organising, retrospectives in this country.

Indicative examples include the 1997 exhibition of Ellie Among the exhibitions of the Foundation, a major milestone is that of Souyoultzoglou-Seraidari, the photographer known as Nelly’s, at the Jannis Kounellis aboard the M/V IONION in Piraeus, given the importance International Center of Photography in New York in collaboration with the of the artist, the fact that it was the very first exhibition of the Foundation Benaki Museum’s Photographic Archives; the exhibition of contemporary and the choice of a cargo vessel as the venue. This is a good opportunity to Italian artists in Athens (Gazi) in 1998 as part of Art Athina; or the thank the artist and the Bernier/Eliades Gallery for the idea of organising 2007 show in Thessaloniki of the American artist Eve Sussman and her a major exhibition of the artist in his home country and for applying to associates of the Rufus Corporation, from various fields of contemporary the Foundation, which undertook the initiative for staging this significant expression, in collaboration with the State Museum of Contemporary Art cultural event. and as part of the Thessaloniki International Film Festival.

More recently, the Foundation embarked on a major new activity in thank all our associates—external and internal—without whose unstinting the area of art education, in collaboration with universities and other participation this difficult venture could not have been achieved by a Greek recognised educational institutions, part of which was the Conference/ Foundation with limited technical and human resources.

One other area of joint projects is that of documentary films, mainly on subjects associated with the exhibitions organised by the Foundation or linked with issues of cultural heritage. We can cite as indicative examples the film by Hans Peter Schwerfel on Jannis Kounellis, co-produced with the German company Artcore, the films by Yorgos Dambassis on Pavlos or the one for the exhibition The Glory of Byzantium, which was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York in 1997.

In closing this succinct reference to the Foundation’s activities in relation to promoting the contemporary art scene and the artistic events in our country, we wish, before presenting the lists of exhibitions and publications we have undertaken alone or in collaboration with others, to thank the artists for their confidence in the Foundation as it took its first steps in this demanding but challenging and interesting field. We wish to
