Marbles in Greek Sculpture Project

Myrό Antiques House and Myrό Gallery announce today that they will undertake a series of projects to attract and renew the interest for the contemporary greek sculpturing, with a focus in bronze and marble sculptures, both within Greece and abroad. The projects fall into a broader initiative including the creation of statues, reliefs, and a variety of sculptures, with several artists working live in the project, in the facilities of Antiques House.

The kick off of the first stage of the initiative took place on May the 10th 2013, when the first team of sculptors started working on several volumes. Some of these artists are associates of Myrό Gallery, while others have answered to the first call for entries of Antiques House published at the end of March 2013. More artists will add up to the team in the next few weeks. Through a simple process of selection in 3 steps, which will include an open invitation for marble and bronze working sculptors, the review of their proposals for works by Stavros Muronidis and his associates, a final agreement on certain conditions, specifications and a time schedule to be met, the sculptors will start working on the works that they proposed and are accepted. Antiques House will offer the marbles and will provide with accommodation in any case needed. Any sculptor interested can apply with his proposals for inclusion in the projects, answering to a forthcoming call for entries, or directly, by contacting Mr. Stavros Muronidis at (0030)6971890212.

The first team of sculptors consists of Michael Andronikidis, Thanos Karonis, Paraskevas Magiras, Cyprian Hopirtean, Giorgos Ilipopoulos, Ioannis Bizas, Odysseas Tosounidis.
