Have you always wanted to create a BEUYS or a BOLTANSKI? Maybe a D. BUREN, a K.HARING, a BRUCE NAUMAN or even a NAN GOLDIN but you're afraid of the back-lashing. Don't you fear! Others have already done it years ago and they were fearless. This exhibition gives you the D.I.Y. recipe: how to copy the copycat. The authentic work will maintain its artistic value anyway; only the supposedly original works are discovered and scorned.

Original works are created by artists with inspiration and thus reserve their authenticity.

The FAKE ones are produced by anyone who lacks the privilege of inspiration and naively believes that no one will recognize the original.

The exhibits here are declared fake a priori. Their resemblance with the respective works of Modern Greek art is neither coincidental, nor accidental. Nevertheless, visitors will be given the chance to see photographs of the original works, while the names of the artists will be revealed, as well as the time and the place of there first presentation.

The role of the artists that participate in FAKE is that of a manufacturer, a property also attributed to the forger.

After many years of research, George Georgakopoulos, Dimitris Georgakopoulos, Chrysi Tsiota, Pantelis Xirohimonas, Grigoris Lagos and George Lyntzeris present the perfect copies of copies. Close your eyes and enjoy a fragment of Modern Greek art.
