 3rd
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
on MARBLE SCULPTURE
The 3rd International Symposium on Marble Sculpture in
Thassos took place in September 2003.
Following the two 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 discovered the
Art surrounded by the natural insular scenery and the
formation of stone to sculpture which came from the
earth.
From August 25th to September 15th the 3rd International
Symposium on Marble Sculpture took place in the Park
of Thassos, which is located in the olive grove of Skala
Kalirachis.
This year’s topic was: “Dialogue between
the stone and the olive”.
Nine artists coming from Belgium, France, Italy, Canada and Greece 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 : Lambert Rocour,
Fabrice Pierot, Philippe Desomberg, Christine Joine,
Christian Leponce, Léo Gémo and Antje Rieck. |
