 4th
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
on MARBLE SCULPTURE
The 4th International Symposium on Marble Sculpture in
Thassos took place in 2005.
Following the three previous ones in a decade’s time,
the Symposium is a difficult yet wonderful project. Its
aim is to make the neat white crystalline marble of
Thassos known, through the carving of sculpture works
which will remain in the carving place forming sculpture
parks.
Many visitors will be attracted to discover the Art
surrounded by the natural insular scenery and the
formation of stone to sculpture which comes from the
earth, and on the earth it settles.
The Park of Thassos, which is located in the olive grove
of Skala Kalirachis, is completed by the 4th
International Symposium of marble sculpture.
Artists worked in situ and delivered equal in number
works, all made of the white crystalline marble of
Thassos, known since antiquity. The pieces will remain
in the Park of Thassos where summer workshops are run by
Greek and foreign sculptors.
This year’s invited sculptors were: Emil Adamec,Patty
Sonville, an anonymous artist, Paul Doine, Jocelyn
Pratt, Sylvia Loew and Nora Valdez. |
