Cuoghi’s exhibition is entitled “Putiferio”, in Latin "to bring the stink". “Putiferio” may also signify chaos or a small taste of hell. During the opening, the artist will transform the area around the Slaughterhouse into a camp to experiment archaic firing techniques for ceramic.

  • Attic Inscriptions Online Website
    Attic Inscriptions: Education Teachers’ Notes on OCR A-LEVEL ANCIENT HISTORY Attic Inscriptions for the Greece Period Study These notes offer introductory commentaries on ancient Athenian inscriptions relevant to the Greece Period Study, ‘Relations between Greek states and between Greek and non-Greek states, 492–404 BC’. They are aimed at teachers in the hope that they provide guidance on the relevance of ancient Athenian inscriptions to the specification and also some insight into the application and analysis of inscriptions as sources for ancient Greek history. We focus on eight selected inscriptions. Three are prescribed sources for the specification, while five are non-prescribed. The non-prescribed sources allow teachers to widen their students’ knowledge; moreover, it should be remembered that candidates can be credited equally for using prescribed and non-prescribed sources in their answers, and we feel that these five sources offer a great deal for teachers and students to work with. The notes were written by Peter Liddel and James Renshaw, drawing upon the translations and commentaries of S.D. Lambert and others on the Attic Inscriptions Online website. We welcome comments on this material or ideas for their expansion: [email protected] Prescribed Sources: 1. Athenian Tribute List (454/3) 2. Athenian relations with Chalkis (446/5 (or 424/3?) 3. Decrees about reassessment of Tribute (Thoudippos’ decrees) (425/4) Non-Prescribed sources: 4. Memorial of Athenian war dead (460-59) 5. Regulations for Erythrai (454-450) 6.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 11, 2014 MEDIA CONTACTS: Rebecca Baldwin Nina Litoff (312) 443-3625 (312) 443-3363 [email protected] [email protected] THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO PRESENTS HEAVEN AND EARTH: ART OF BYZANTIUM FROM GREEK COLLECTIONS Over 60 Works From Greece Represent Life in the Empire that Lasted for More than a Millennium A new exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections, presents more than 60 superb artworks of the Byzantine era, from the 4th to the 15th centuries. Organized by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports of Athens, Greece, with the collaboration of the Benaki Museum, Athens, and originally exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the exhibition includes major artistic holdings from Greece consisting of mosaics, sculptures, manuscripts, luxury glass, silver, personal adornments, liturgical textiles, icons, and wall paintings. About one third of the original exhibition will be presented in the Art Institute’s Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art from September 27, 2014, through February 15, 2015. For more than 1,000 years, Greece was part of the vast Byzantine Empire, established in 330 A.D. by the emperor Constantine the Great, who moved the capital of the Roman Empire east to a small town named Byzantium in modern-day Turkey. Renamed for him and transformed into Constantinople, Byzantium would come to represent an empire of splendor and power that endured for more than a millennium. Greek replaced Latin as the official language, and Greece itself was home to important centers of theology, scholarship, and artistic production—as 1 evidenced by the luxurious manuscripts displayed in the exhibition.

After studying economics and law at the University of Athens, he joined his uncle’s jewellery firm, where, apprenticed as a goldsmith, he learned the skills that were to determine his future as a master craftsman. Prompted by a passion for history, he began studying the art of his ancestors. In the 1950’s he was inspired by Greek museum arte- facts and transformed them into jewellery by reviving age-old techniques while also introducing the use of modern technology. His creative aim was to convey the spiritual and symbolic link of an object to its historical past, the art of neglected techniques, such as granulation, filigree, hand-weaving and hand-hammering. Lalaounis founded the Greek Jeweller’s Association and exhibited his first collection in 1957, the archeological collection, inspired by Classical, Hellenistic and Minoan-Mycenaean art, with modern jewels steeped in antiquity. In the 1960’s, after his uncle passed away, Ilias Lalaounis started his own company.
