Former Culture Minister and current chairman of the parliamentary committee Vejdi Rashivod entered into an open dispute with his proposals for Minister Boil Banov and rejected it because he wants to rent the so-called Red House in Sofia, which was the home of sculptor Andrey Nikolov and was donated by him to the state.
Rashidov accused Banov, a director by profession, of tolerating theater and mismanaging galleries and museums. He told BNT on Sunday that he would request a meeting with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov on the matter and expressed anger at what was happening.
For many years, the Red House on Lyuben Karavelov Street in the center of the capital was administered by the Center for Culture and Debate, but in February it left under pressure from Rashidov. He lived and worked there in the mid-20th century, this time managed and managed as part of the National Gallery of Art.
“I understand that it is being rented. It is a crime, it has already crossed all limits. The Red House is my cause. There is no place in the world for Rodin’s house to be debated. Monet’s house is not for debate, the Brancusi’s, Calder’s, Picasso’s house is not up for debate. Only Andrei Nikolov, the patriarch of Bulgarian sculpture. Someone is debating there. Everything else may be, but not a museum, but it is intended to be a museum. in the game. “Andrei Nikolov’s spirit must calm down. This is his house, this house should be converted into a museum house, “said Rashid. In front of Bulgarian National Television on Sunday.
“And the administration of the ministry will explain to me that there were co-owners and that it was difficult to become a museum, so everything else is possible, but it is intended for a museum. This is Andrei Nikolov’s personal will,” he added.
“The Ministry of Culture crosses all borders. I will inform the Prime Minister. I do not understand what this ministry is for. Some people are sitting and joking,” continued Rashidov, who is a sculptor.
“I stopped the privatization of the Red House and they threatened me. I will not donate anything to this country if they steal something from the people who donate each time,” Rashidov continued, announcing that he had collected the discarded works of Andrei Nikolov.
When asked if he would ask for Boil Banov’s resignation, he replied that only the Prime Minister had the right to do so, but would request a meeting with him due to problems in the field of culture.
Rashidov expressed his regret at having nominated Boil Bonav as Minister of Culture. “Yes, I made a mistake and I am sorry. I am a sculptor and my soul does not accept what is happening,” he said.
According to him, culture in our country lacks management. “You cannot 20 meters from” St. Alexander Nevsky “that tourists come by bus and you cannot take them to one of the beautiful museums in the Balkans” Rashidov was outraged, referring to “Square 500”.
According to him, recently the Ministry of Culture has been talking about culture as a theater ministry. “Televisions have also become television rooms. Culture has a broader spectrum. I don’t see great Bulgarian artists, great Bulgarian poets and writers. Composers are also in the same shadow,” added Rashidov.
According to him, culture has been in a little collapse for a long time, because there is not enough money for cultural policy. He also commented on the situation with independent artists.
“The liberal professions are not the officials who work in cultural institutions and all the structures that are connected to the state. The liberal professions are the engine of culture, the machine for which there are cultural institutions. These people need both now and everyone else for a simple reason: who was born to make art, for him is destiny. There is no crisis that prevents me from making art: there is no such crisis. Culture is always a product of the drama that a person experiences. During cataclysms , wars, natural disasters the strongest works in the world were born, “explained the president of the parliamentary committee on culture.
He added that culture is a luxury whim and asked when the economy will collapse, how are we going to talk about culture? According to him, cultural events should recover slowly like everything else, like restaurants, like factories.
The culture in line with this whole economy will awaken, Rashidov believes.
