Parola , , , . .

, , , , . ! P

Seven is a sacred number in many religions and cultures and a symbol of excellence for the Pythagoreans. So the issue youre holding in your hands, the seventh, may not be perfect, but it is symbolic. It closes a circle that began in 2009 with the first 64-page issue of Parola, then boasting a few good collaborators and sponsors.

This year, seven years later, the appearance of the magazine has been upgraded with a new cover and logo, and there have been considerable additions to the number of pages, now double than in the original issue, as well as the list of journalistic and otherwise contributors, and the enterprises supporting it. This was no accident, but rather the result of hard and largely disinterested work.

It is a great satisfaction for us that the companies supporting us at the outset of our endeavour have always been by our side while new ones have joined them appreciating our work and coming to see that the smaller or larger investment they make in promotion space yields a return. Besides, the businesses that back us up are also trying for the best.

Parola is much more than the only bilingual summer magazine in Paros and Antiparos; it is a reference point, a vital node in a network of artists of every medium, and in general the most vibrant part of Parian and Antiparian culture. This years issue focuses on art with an emphasis on women.

This is partly to set right an injustice to the female sex done in previous issues, but also because the women featured, no matter what professional or social background they come from, stand out for their strength, imagination, tenacity and creativity. These are precisely the qualities we need in order to get out of the darkness and back into the Light! P

In the mountainous heart of Paros, in the traditional village of Lefkes, the Ageranos Kyklos presented in the summer 2014 a course of study in rhythm which aimed to educate us in collective thinking and action.

The program evolved into 10 different workshops, which began on August 25 and concluded on September 2. During those days we learned how to express ourselves through dance, music and song and participate creatively in a team. We experimented with improvised musical instruments, and percus-sion, which were crafted in the instruments workshops, and with tunings and repairs the tsambounes (bagpipes) needed. The workshops were accom-panied by various events such as free film screenings, music and dance perfor-mances. The action of Ageranos Kyklos is public and is based on the voluntary and free participation of those involved in the program. Information on the next eventFacebook https://www.facebook.com/ageranos.kyklos

The Holland Tunnel Gallery in Paros is hosted in the beautiful 17th century Azaris house in the centre of Parikia, a former mer-chant mansion.

Exhibitions begin at street level in spaces where previously potatoes, onions, olives and wine were stored. They continue in the courtyard and in the living areas upstairs. A stroll through the kitchen, dining room, library and family bedrooms leads to the spectacular 15 foot high salla. Magic things happen in this extraordi-nary atmosphere. Art place as well as social meeting place, Holland Tunnel is where it hap-pens!

The Holland Tunnel Gallery was estab-lished by Dutch artist Paulien Lethen in 1997 in her newly installed garden shed in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The mini art space rapidly gained recogni-tion in the art world and became a neighbourhood icon. People looked surprised when they opened the door, then smiled when they saw the mini gallery. It was a totally different way to experience art! , we read in the book she wrote with her jazz pianist/vocalist sister Heleen Schuttevaer.In 2000 Paulien and Heleen opened the Greek extension of the Holland Tunnel Galllery in Parikia. We dreamt about creating a place for art and music, to give something back to Paros in return of the many things we enjoy here. In 2000 we bought the build-ing where the gallery is now. It was renovated between 2000-2010; the old details were restored and preserved as much as possible. Many people from Parikia know the house as the Azaris house. Senior Parians told us they had

their school classes in the monumen-tal salla., says Heleen.This year Paulien Lether and Heleen Schuttevaer celebrate 15 years of Holland Tunnel Gallery in Paros

flash

He is a self-taught artist, painter and a fisherman of sea urchins. Worked in fishing boats since he was 9 years old, pure bred of Naoussa, he immigrated to Piso Livadi where he runs the ouzo tavern "Mouragio".She was born in Moschato, Athens, she grew up in Rentis and studied in Ralleios School of Piraeus. She found herself in Paros because she fell in love. Her great loves are books and theatre.

Drawing is for me a way out. A refuge. I may wake up at night with an idea, grab the pencil and draw, "says Antonis while we drink our souma and dip our bread in sea urchins he just caught, in his tavern under Paron, the ancient Parian ship. Antonis with his little boat does not just go for sea ur-chins; he also rushes in rescuing missions if necessary. 128 rescues in 25 years.A great love binds him with Constantina. And we do not mean only the love they have for each other; we mean their common love for the theatre. For years Constantina Tripolitsiotis was the director of Nereus cultural club in Naoussa and Antonis an actor. "I take pride in the theatrical group of Nereus as if it were my child, my third child. They performed a new play with a new director that was impressive. I am glad that they achieved this without me, it was good but the truth is that I handed over the baton without having been asked. "

They started in the theatre group of Mrs Roussos but after a dispute they left. But they could not live without the theatre. So in 2001 they suggested to Nereus to create a theatre group. They preferred foreign writers and plays with many roles so that the whole team could be involved. The teams favorite though, the play closest to their heart was Greek. It was the "Pieces and shivers" by George Skourtis. The Meetings of Amateur Theatre Groups of Aegean were some of the most beautiful moments. "In Paros it has not been done yet. says Constantina Tripolitsiotis "I placed my candidacy for municipal elections with this dream, but I was not voted. In 2013 I had a stroke. This past winter was difficult without the theatre. But I found something else. I write the adventures of two dogs, two stray dogs: Mourgos and Bella. I would also like to do a radio show for children. My mind may be shaken, but it has not stopped thinking or dreaming.".

HASHISH From Greece to Egypt

If fate, as they say, does not love those who have grown old, the reason is that they are now unable to believe in chimeras, in those illusions of the mind .... The publication of Henri de Monf-reids Hashish From Greece to Egypt (La croisire du hachich, Grasset, 1933), in Greek (translated by Sotiris Chalikias) by Parian Pontoporos Publica-tions in 2012, is living proof that, despite the crisis, or, rather, by virtue of it, there are people in Greece who dare to seize their chimeras. Such was for Kostas Gouzelis of Pontoporos the publication of the memoirs of de Monfreid, a 19th-20th c. Frenchman who made his way through this world as a writer, pirate, gun-runner and smuggler of hashish (which he bought from Greece to sell to Egypt), pearl hunter and occasional spy! This is a compelling account by a Sinbad the Sailor who lead ten normal lives in the space of one

The treasures of Greek gastronomy

All mushrooms are edible, but some only once, notes George Pittas in The treasures of Greek gastronomy (Paros: Koilada Lefkon Publica-tions, 2014). All books are read at least once, but thats not the case with this substantial atlas of Greek gas-tronomy, which can be read either as a reference book to get enlightened, among other things, on batsos (hard white cheese, p. 291), the associa-tion between tomatoes and communism (p. 211) and the culinary treasures of Paros (p. 64, 127, 137, 249, 269), or at one go, just like a novel.A luscious distillation of a long-lasting research project carried out by the eminent author who has distinguished himself not only in the hospitality sector, with his unit in Lefkes, Paros, but also through his prolific activity as Head of Greek Breakfast - a programme launched by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels aiming to connect the hotel industry to the gastronomic wealth of every region.

I lost everything for the sake of the homeland. I lost my position, I fought beyond my strength, and paid the widows last penny. I am already dispossessed, and I am suffering great hardship...

So wrote Mando Mavrogeni to Ioannis Kapodistrias (Governor of Greece) in October 1828, making yet another appeal for him to provide for her subsistence - she who was a noble woman of aristocratic lineage, heir to a large fortune, which she hadnt hesitated to spend to the last dime for the cause of the Greek War of Independence (the Greek Revolution).

Manouil Tasoulass Mando Mavrogeni. A historical record (2nd edition, 1997), co-published by the Mu-nicipality of Mykonos and Perivolaki Publications, is a truly compelling historical narrative, impassively re-porting evidence - based testimonies on the life and times of a national heroine who has been mytholo-gised like no other figure of the Greek Revolution.

Before the first edition of the dentist-cum-authors research was completed in 1994, Mandos life story had been obscured in the haze of legend. As there was no historical documentation, any attempt to narrate her life had been, at best, incomplete. History was inextricably interwoven with fiction, to the detri-ment of truth.

Tasoulas set out to study and glean every bit of evidence relating to Mando Mavrogeni (as she signed, and not Mavrogenous as her surname is mis-takenly known). He spent years upon years delving into public archives until he eventually discovered a huge volume of documents bearing the signature of Mavrogeni. Whats more, his tireless persistence brought to light what Mandos contemporaries had written about her, and also got him to document her descendants memories of the events surrounding the life of the great heroine.

Mando Mavrogeni

A heroine of the 1821 Greek War of Inde-pendence (the Greek Revolution), fought by the Greeks against the occupying Turks, one of the few leading female figures of the liberation struggle.

Magdalene (Mando) Mavrogeni was born in Trieste in 1796 (or 1797), and died in Paros in 1840. She was the daughter of a prominent family of Paros, whose members held high ranks in the Ottoman Empire, one of her ancestors being Dragoman of the Fleet.

Mavrogeni equipped a flotilla in Mykonos at her own expense. She later led a corps of fighters to battle on mainland Greece. In 1825, she set-tled in Nafplio. She was engaged to Demetrius Ypsilanti, a prominent figure of the Revolution, but their relationship did not fare well. She was awarded the rank of Lieu-tenant General.

Mando was beautiful, well-to-do, well-educat-ed and multilingual - the appeal she addressed to the women of Europe struck a chord, contributing much to the favourable course of the Revolution. At the peak of her endeavours, the Europeans idolised her, but it was only a few years later that, at the age of 43, Mando was to die alone, sidelined by the politicians, and penniless, having pledged the whole of her substantial private fortune to the liberation cause.

The reader of this thorough monograph follows the footsteps of a beautiful, educated and rich woman, whose patriotism leads her from Trieste, Paros and Tinos, through to Mykonos and Nafplio, up to her sad and inglorious end in the Cyclades in 1840, as University of Athens professor Helen Koukkou notes in her praising review of Tasoulass book.

Fotis Art Cafe at the port of Naoussa, a reference point for art lovers of Paros, would present this year a multitude of authors in an exhibi-tion bearing its name. The exhibition would mark the ten-year cooperation of Fotis Mellios with Maria Demetria-des, the creator of the Art Gallery "Medusa".

All works in the exhibition were inspired by Fotis Art Cafe while the creators have presented at times their work in the cafs premises: creators such as Anton, Ioulia Ventikou, Nikos Vlahos, Maria Grigoriadis, Eleni Zouni, Panagiotis Linardakis, Voula Masoura, Miltos Michailidis, Lina Bebi, Stergios Stamos and Nakis Tastsioglou. Unfortunately though, the untimely loss of Fotis Mellios has canceled this important artistic event.

This summer, however, thanks to another synergy of Maria Demetriades, the artistic map of the island has acquired a new landmark that happens to coincide with the headquarters of the architectural firm Studio 265 in Parikia.

As explained by the known gallerist who, for a long time now, has shared her daily life between Athens and Paros, its about a new proposition that is based upon the coexistence and alliance between the art and an architectural form, since the very early stages of design. Isnt such a combination quite stimulant? Isnt a building but upgraded when it hosts and highlights in its premises, works of art? The team that constitutes Studio 265, seized the challenge and while designing their offices they also provided an internal two-storey space that, with the respon-sibility of "Medusa", will act as an art gallery. The idea is to introduce two artists at a time, a painter and a sculptor, and the inauguration has taken place with Ellie Koutsoukelli and Nakis Tastsioglou respectively, with works created especially for this exhibition."

Its about a new proposi-tion that is based upon the coexis-tence and alliance between the art and an archi-tectural form.

The choice of these artists is not at all random. Elli Koutsoukelli presents works in pencil on paper of a large format which, through the abstract representation of reality, contribute to a monumental rendition of an internal viewing of the world. "The black and white landscapes of Elli," says Maria Demetriades, "are reminiscent of architectural designs and they are ideally suited to the space, while also Tastsioglou who has to his credit numerous collaborations with architects, by crafting of fountains and pools and internal stairs. His are after all the sculpted furniture of Studio 265 and the work that dominates the lobby."

According to Maria Demetriades the artistic stigma of "Medusa" at the headquarters of Studio 265 will be reflected in the art shop which is about to open in the next season and where one will be able to find smaller size paintings, small sculptures and jewelry, as well as travel editions, art books and architecture albums. The same goes for the surroundings of the building, where a small theater has already been created, able to accommodate theatri-cal performances, lectures, musical events and outdoor sculpture exhibitions."

For Natasa Biza, all it takes is a minor detail that would go unnoticed by the rest of us to stimulate an aesthetic insight, which in turn disrupts lifes balances, and awakens thinking. The distinguished artist studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (under Professor Yannis Psychopedis) and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. Her work has been featured in a num-ber of solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. Recently, she has been collaborating with the Visual Arts Workshop run by the Municipal-ity of Paros.

Where do you draw your inspiration from in Paros?Paros is my home place. Its not easy to talk about a deeply-rooted love.

1,320 glasses mechanically vibrate, producing sound. What idea or feeling do you wish to convey to the public with this work?Youre talking about Dexion 245-268, the sound installation presented in the Athens School of Fine Arts Master of Fine Arts Graduate Exhibition. This work could be described as follows: two tall rows of dexion metal shelves form a narrow corridor that invites you to wander in. Glasses of various sizes and shapes line the shelves. As visitors pass through, the glasses vibrate... This mild yet annoying tinkling sound awakens the senses, warns of the breakage limit of fragile objects, and blends with the visitors footsteps. The alien feeling of finding oneself in a space made up of finely-tuned balances arouses thoughts about personal relationships, about our very existence.

Youve recently taken over the Visual Arts Workshop run by the Municipality of Paros. What are your expectations?The purpose of the workshop is to bring people of all ages in touch with contem-porary visual art thought, and give them proper motivation and guidance for

their own creative vision. Apart from the pleasant respite such activities provide, they also offer people the opportunity to enhance their critical thinking skills, and open up new channels of communica-tion and dialogue in our country in a way that only art can.Ive been working in the Visual Arts Workshop since 2003. From then on, very important steps were made by the whole team, until two years ago, when its operation was suspended. This year, although we got started in mid-year, the response were getting from the people is really great.I hope the workshop will keep up its dynamic pace and creative growth. What was your experience of the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts?The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts is an excellent school that has been op-erating in Paros since 1966.

was a very creative experience.

Whats the purpose of contemporary visual art as you and your fellow-artists serve it - to shock, to impress, to sensitise?None of the above, and yet all of them, probably. We, artists, have our own ways... Personally, I prefer to grapple with delicate balances (or, rather, imbalances), searching for truths that lie before our eyes, unsung everyday heroes, forgotten stories. If some awareness is raised, so much the better for all of us.

Whats it like to create and install a work of art in a village likeMarpissa?Three years ago, I had the pleasure to get in touch with the remarkable initiators and organisers of Routes in Marpissa and to engage in their endeavour.The Routes is much more than a creative festival; its a good way to get people acquainted with the real Paros.The work I created in Marpissa last year was entitled Things are not only good to use, but also good to think about.In the small storage room/kitchen of a derelict house in the village, I put to use the methods of archaeology. I set out to bring to light information about the lives people led in the past, as attested by their material remains. To this end, I gathered, listed, indexed and archived the material at hand. Practices of everyday life, traces of every modest or massive yearning were found recorded in fragments of objects, newspaper clippings, calculations for a potential purchase, a travel ad, a lucky charm...Survival anxieties of generations gone, dreams for a more comfortable, a bour-geois life, and opportunities for a better future emerged from the Marpissa excava-tion. The past had a familiar, and possibly topical, ring to it.

You were inspired by the first international sculpture exhibition held by the Greek National Tourism Organisation in 1965.

tion Innocent categories. Suspicious narratives - Archive Rights III, by curator Elpida Karaba in order to study the Institutes archive and, through my research, produce a project which would, in turn, find a place in its archive.I was intrigued by the First International Sculpture Exhibition held by the Greek National Tourism Organisation in Filopappou Hill, Athens, in 1965, and curated by Tony Spiteris: an ambitious cultural project in a turbulent sociopolitical environment.During my research, I found myself faced with an art archives failure to document the manifold facets of historical events in their full entirety. So I turned to other archives: the daily press and the Library of Parliament archives. The unstable political climate of the era was recorded, both in the Parliament minutes and in their absence - min-utes were missing for the fifteen-day period (the July Events) during which the Parliament remained closed.With the work I presented in the exhibition, I focused on data discon-tinuities such as the above, which I made up for with material from other sources to fill in the inevitable gaps of archival documentation.With this strategy, I tried to approach questions, rather than answers, as to how history is written and received.

Can you give us a brief tour of the archaeological park of the Athenian Agora, where you presented the installation Planting Plan?In recent years, my works have been triggered by archival research.Planting plan, was based on the archive of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.As its well known, its archaeologists undertook the excavation of the ancient forum of Athens, which necessitated the demolition of 400 houses. As soon as that project was completed, the American School embarked on landscaping the archaeological site in the 1950s, through the restoration of the ancient floral landscape by planting endemic species. On one of my visits to the park, I saw new plants that had found their way into Greece centuries later, so I came up with the concept/desire of this project. On later visits I made ac-companied by a specialised agronomist, I identified their names and origins. I then went on to enact a performance action on the site, during which I placed plaques bearing their names, thus restoring their identity.At the same time, I made similar interventions (data planting, so to speak) in Garden Lore of Ancient Athens, a book published by the American School in 1963 and still available for purchase by visitors, which maps the flora of the region in classical times, as documented in historical records. With this project, the issues I explore relate to the concept of identity, the power of the institutions, and the poli-cies of classification, archiving and identification they adopt.This work was presented in the exhibition The Other designs. Historical authenticity as artistic project held at Beton7 Art Centre in Athens last October, and curated by Heiko Schmid and Kostis Stafyla-kis, under the auspices of the Swiss Embassy in Greece.

Would you like to tell us about your future plans?Currently, Im working on a project for the Onassis Cultural Centre, a parallel action that is to be presented in the exhibition Strange cities, co-created with Zafos Xagoraris, teacher Magda Dasakli, journalist Argiro Bozoni and director Emilia Milou, in collaboration with the art department of Kaminia Secondary School, dealing with the impor-tance of strange cities.Im also preparing a project for the exhibition Twisting C(r)ash, due to be held in Geneva in October under the curation of Stafylakis, Vana Kostagiolas, Sverin Guelpa and Madeleine Amsler.

Dimitra Chanioti is a stunning young woman who could feature on the cover of a fashion glossy, but decided to spend her time in her art studio instead, playing with colours and textures.

Daughter of an art-loving confectioner and mother to an eight-year old girl who often joins her in her painting sessions, Dimitra Chanioti has aspired to become an artist ever since she can remember herself. I was influenced by family friend Nikos Katsaros. Paintings by him hung in our home and I used to watch him labouring away on his canvas in this very studio for hours on end, she remembers.An established visual artist today, the Parian painter and school teacher is preparing for Art Athina (4-7/6) working on her new project entitled Power that is due to be displayed in Technochoros Gallery: a giant monobloc plastic chair covered with a doily casting its shadow on a sheet metal fenced-in Greek parliament.

What does the anonymous, cheap monobloc chair stand for in present-day Greece?The common garden chair is in constant flux; it has no home base. In a sense, it embodies the opportunism of the Greek political scene, and, certainly, the self-interested office-seek-ing mindset that has been so pervasive in our society. In another work entitled Diaploki (illicit interweaving of political and media interests), I wonder who is pulling the strings in this country - and its not just politicians.

The feminine is ever-present in your worksI find it intriguing as a symbol. I was very much inspired by Gorgon - an outstanding archaic sculpture exhibited in the Archaeo-logical Museum of Paros. With her dreadful gaze, Gorgon turned those who beheld her to stone, thus averting wrongdoing. Ive also worked on the Nike concept - the Winged Victory of Samothrace and Paros sculp-tor Nicos Perantinoss Nike. Im interested in establishing a dialogue with the past; I also like Parian folk art, embroidery, the

koufardikas (giant fennel - from kofios, meaning hollow), a plant growing rampant in many parts of the island. I remind you that Prometheus stole the fire and carried it away hidden in the hollow of a fennel stalk. In Paros we say that when they are in full bloom, rain is on the way.

Is there anything at all about the island that is not quite to your liking?In my work entitled Landing I was inspired by the dispersed settlement pattern all too prevalent today. One can see new houses popping up in the open fields across the rolling slopes of the island. This grieves me deeply. You know, Cycladic architecture has been all about moderation. It respects the landscape; it is integrated in its environ-ment and does not abuse it. Fortunately, things are now more under control due to the crisis. The crisis is not necessarily a bad thing

Are there many artists based here in Paros?Yes, quite a few. Coincidentally, the subject of my thesis was Visual artists who have been active in Paros from 1950 until today. I registered 99 artists: 48 foreigners (mostly Europeans, some Americans, plus one Asian) and 51 Greeks (who have been living on the island for at least the last ten years). The 50s and the 60s were challenging times. But from the late 60s, when the Aegean Center of Fine Arts was established, onwards, theres been a real buzz going on.

You teach art in public schools. What do you think of art education today?Currently, I teach in a primary school. I just love working with young children. We must do away with art illiteracy. In the past, they would give the kids a photocopied handout and ask them to fill in the spaces. So, in year 1 of secondary school, we had to start from scratch. Fortunately, for the past two years, a welcome breeze of fresh think-ing has been blowing in, and art, music and theatre studies made it into the primary education curriculum. And this is very important because, when youre so young youre more receptive.

Youre also into photography. Id say youre even more daring in your photos.Ive made a series of photographs entitled Body games. Indeed, some of them display female bodies alongside snails and lizards. I play with the armpit and the navel, in ways that make them appear threaten-ing sometimes, or wake up the senses.. P

In an-other work entitled Diaploki (illicit inter-weaving of political and media interests), I wonder who is pulling the strings in this coun-try - and its not just politicians.

The first art gallery in Antiparos was opened in 2011 by a vigorous woman: Mary Hatzaki. Not Paros-born, but definitely Paros-loving and artisti-cally inclined, she spearheaded the launch of the Photo Festival held on the grounds of the castle. The gallery is called anti, alluding to Antiparos, evidently, but also because, as we are told by Ms. Chatzaki, the name sug-gests swimming against the stream. As of this year, we are informed, it will be hosting the art shop of the Museum of Cycladic Art.

How did you find yourself in Antiparos?I came here on business. It was the winter of 2002. It was pouring and freezing. With a digital camera I started taking pictures non-stop. I must have taken over five hun-dred snapshots of village fetes, weddings, christenings, religious processions. I also took some shots of the locals and then gave them the photos. An old lady once came up to me and said: Thank you for the photo you gave me. I hadnt had a photo of myself since my wedding.

How did the art gallery come about?Ive always been an art aficionado. I noticed there was no art gallery on the island at the time, so the idea piqued my interest. Initially, I collaborated with a young woman. We set up the gallery right by the entrance to the castle. Our programme runs from June 20 through September. This year we feature leading artists Diamantis Aidinis, Achilleas Christidis, Io Angeli, and Harald Egede. And of course, like every year, we will be holding the Antiparos Photo Festival.

The ambiance is quite appealing but the space is lilliputian in size. How does everything fit in here?For your information, Plato Rivellis once ex-hibited 53 photographs here - it still wasnt full to capacity. We hosted Elena Syraka who exhibited her jewels. Every artist transforms the space. Our all-time-high moment was the exhibition of painter, writer, musician

and resident of the castle since the 70s, Nikos Chouliaras - one of the cultural highlights hosted by the Municipality of Antiparos. However, I dont call myself an art dealer - neither a gallerist for that mat-ter; Im an art-lover. Otherwise, I would have made loads of money...

What have you been hoping to achieve?The locals got an idea of what an art gallery is. Children would come over and ask me, So, whats the deal with this stuff? It was the first major art-related stimulus they had ever known. Whats more, we give a tribune to local artists. An Englishman told me, deeply moved, At last! It was long due on the island. Tourists coming to Antiparos fall for the place; they keep coming back.

How much does the Photo Festival engage with the community?Very much so. David Fraser Ray, an English-man who lives in Norway, has created, together with his Norwegian wife Kjersti Varang (an invaluable assistant for the festival), the Facebook page The Antiparos Photo Gallery boasting 3,000 members/Antiparos-lovers, where old and new photos are posted. So he wanted to put the best of the lot on display. I agreed with it being held here, so I went, Should we have a photography festival in the castle? And so we did, two years ago- nice and easy. This years festival will be held on July 4-12. Well be presenting three photographers and photos from the shooting of the film Suntan by Argyris Papadimitropoulos that was done on the island, starring Makis Papadimitriou. Last year, the participant photographers, including Ms. Irene Marino-poulou, donated the money from the sale of their photographs to the local school. Photographers participating in this years festival are also going to make donations to the island.

Who is funding it?We found two sponsors, rented the lighting equipment, and eventually spot-lit the most beautiful parts of the castle that had been kept in the dark up until that mo-ment. The event was well-attended, and a local resident, Yannis Kalargyros, said, The incomer brought light to the castle! - there was no precedent in the history of the island. We cleared it up of course. And you know something? As long as the festival was running, no one messed it up. With the help of our sponsor, the Municipality of Antiparos and God, we hope that it will be all lit up again this year. P

Paros will soon have its first private conservatory. The instigator of the proj-ect is a gifted pianist who dares to take the plunge in difficult times. Maroulia Kontou, originary of both Paros and Santorini, welcomes us to her house: a charming Cycladic house built with lots of artistry in the mountainous village of Kostos.

How did you take up music?I loved the piano. It seemed magical. I saw people in front of a musical instrument and they seemed like angels to me. Eventually, thanks to my good grades, I got a harmoni-um. With that, it all started for me. And then, in a contest of a young girls magazine won the prize, a big harmonium. I then lived out-side Parikia, very detached. I started piano lessons at the Municipal Music School. In my second year and after an audition, Archilochus offered me a scholarship for a weekly course. I advanced very quickly and then went toAthens. Archilochus supported me throughout the course of my studies with a small but valuable scholarship.

Is it true that serious occupation with the piano requires a chiampions discipline?Personally, I bet with myself how many hours of playing I could withstand. I reached up to 12. I followed a lonely path for many years. I remember that in my free time, I sat and copied books: Dimoula, the "Ascetic" of Kazantzakis ... In Athens, I lived in a small room that could only fit a bed and a piano. In 2000 I got my diploma. I almost had a surgery because of overworking. I did physiotherapy. Piano requires working out. It is not just "sit and play."

As a teacher, what have you learned all these years?First and foremost I found out that, fortu-nately, I love children! Of course, I realized that not all children are like me. And that one should not put a childs soul in a mold. Sometimes I detect talents but eventually they pursue different paths like their fathers business... I taught for many years in the Mu-sic School of the Municipality of Paros. From

1998 until last January. This is so far the only music school that we have on the island.

I imagine you met Jeffrey Carson as well...Of course. Ive known him since I was a little girl. He was among the first who taught piano in Paros. There was a whole genera-tion of musicians that owe a lot to Carson.

Your Conservatory, when does it premier?In September. We have already submitted the dossier to the City Council. It will be housed in Parikia, in a 200 m2 building that has been configured accordingly (parti-tions, acoustic etc).

What will you teach?Piano theory, violin, guitar, drums (percus-sion instruments), bouzouki, kanonaki zither, bagpipe (tsampouna) and clarinet. My grandfather played the bagpipe and my great grandfather zither. I have a lot of respect for traditional music. In Paros you cannot say I will only teach Mozart. But we will also teach the saxophone, singing, jazz. Because there's a jazz community here...

I imagine you will also have a choir. Besides, youve instructed for years the choir of the Municipality with flying colours.You know, it was along the way that I discovered the charm of choral song. And finally I felt what it was like to communi-cate, having experienced as a child this blockade, this isolation because with the pi-ano you dont have to look in anyones eyes. In the municipality I started with a choir of seven children that in our last concert had become fifty. We have won numerous first prizes over the years. Although this is a classic chorus, we have worked with performers such as Pantelis Thalassinos and Loudovikos ton Anogion. Loudovikos is also the godfather of our conservatory. He called it "Mythodea."

Do you believe that the society of Paros is ready for this conservatory?Only time will tell if along the way society can embrace it. Moreover, in my life, I did it all intuitively. However, our aim is that everyone should be able to attend! This means that we will have quite the afford-able prices. What I want is my conservatory to create groups, friendships, to highlight young musicians, to develop the culture of this place. The light of music illuminates others, as well. P

I loved the piano. It seemed magi-cal. I saw people in front of a musical instru-ment and they seemed like angels to me.

Routes in Marpissa is a festival with a difference, held with the active sup-port of the residents of the beautiful Parian village, who lend a hand in planning the events, turn their homes into visitor-accessible festival spaces, cook and otherwise contribute to the delicious treats offered at the tradi-tional feast.

We meet one of the organisers, who asks us not to mention her name as Marp-issa experiential festival is a collective project. The concept of experientialism is all about living the Parian tradition as it is conveyed through a novel aesthetic perspective. We dont want to stagnate into a lifeless museum display, she says.

The core volunteer group that launched the first festival in Marpissa in 2010 was made up of 25 native and honorary Parians from various trades - architects, graphic designers, photographers, and educators - who joined their forces to create a cultural event tailor-made for marvellous Marpissa around some central themes: folklore, architecture, music and visual arts.

The team put together a number of activities aimed at children and adults alike. Theyre based on both workshops and games, and they involve narrative as

well as hands-on skill building: there are workshops teaching, say, how to craft musical instruments from recycled materials. The team carried out bioclimatic research into local homes, drew up a map of Marp-issa and conducted a genealogical study. It is more than evident that the festival lies at the other end of the mainstream festival and mass tourism spectrum, where visitors are invited to watch, but not to interact.

In the summer, she tells us, over eighty volunteers participate, while, all year round, local villagers help our team in doing research and collecting folklore and architecture-related material for our archive. What we aim at with Routes in Marpissa is participation, action and interaction for everybody - volunteers, residents, visitors, professionals, sponsors and local agencies. Weve been collabo-rating with the Marpissa Womens Association since the festival kicked off, while the Associations premises can be accessed by festival goers.

We can do without peak-season tourism; we want visitors to come over for us, to get a fresh insight into our heritage. There are people who come to Paros from across the world just to attend the festival - they even change their tickets for its sake.The Routes start out from the tradi-tional settlement of Marpissa and meander around terraces, churches and squares. In 2013 there were five main thematic stopovers. At the smell-themed stopover, for instance, visitors would step into a house with their eyes closed, where they would be asked to recognize the odors of oregano, souma (grape-distilled spirit), laurel or myrtle.

She is not willing to reveal the organizers plans for this years, the sixth, festival, running from Thursday 20 to Saturday 22 August. We should expect it to conclude, as we are told, with an admission-free traditional island music concert, and be held with the support of South Aegean Regional Council and the Municipal-ity of Paros.

When our art takes us abroad, we seek out art and artists who work outside the gallery system. We discover and document outsider art installations, transient land art, folk art objects and artifacts. Through these activities, we are often rewarded with surprising insights into the culture of the countries we visit.

The rich artistic and cultural heritage of the island of Paros is world renowned and well documented. It is a delight to discover that not all of the islands artistic endeavours are historic, static, set in stone or marble. We see artists at work today outside of the formal gallery and museum setting in a series of intriguing, witty, transient land art installations. Being ephemeral - a Greek work for something that lasts for a short time - they may or may not be seen within the The Environmental and Cultural Park of Paros on the Agios Ioannis Detis peninsula across the bay from Naousa.

In the Land Art we document here, we ob-

serve that the art installation and landscape are linked for a short period of time. In keeping with the genre of Land Art, they follow the tradition of sculpture. The artists use material found within the immediate landscape - stones on a beach, prickly plants on rocks, a coastline pocked with cracks and holes. The art installations are well considered and executed, respecting the physi-cal site they inhabit. Materials are assembled, shaped, and re-presented to the viewer.

They do not disturb or take material away from the site, nor do they leave a scar. The artworks hold the capacity to change shape with additions from viewers. They will change with time, and may eventually perish by the effects of the wind and the water that surrounds them.

Their memory will remain, and we, in turn, will be changed by the experience of them. We discovered three installations - beach sculptures in stone, coast figures in plant material, and birds in rock. There may well be more, but they are for someone else to discover.

The art installa-tion and landscape are linked for a short period of time.

BEACH SCULPTURES IN STONE

A series of three stone figures ranging in size from half to one and a half metres in height stand sentinel on a small beach, overlooking the bay of Naousa. The abstract evocation of the fig-ures here shows careful forethought in the selection of material employed in their construction. The arrangement of slim rocks and angular stones makes the figures appear elemental in form. With the sound and movement of the seas ebb and flow around the figures, one becomes fully immersed in the landscape. The figures scale and lack of facial features leave us, the viewer, a space to project our thoughts onto. Through experiencing this intervention in the landscape, we consider our own humanity.

BIRD SCULPTURES ON ROCK COAST

The heads of two large birds appear in outline form on the North West rock coast of the Environmental and Cultural Park. Re-shaping the landscape is a common feature of land art, however, this intriguing artwork poses the question - has an artists hand been at work here? Is it our imaginings or the effects of erosion that has made the bird like shapes on the rocks? Our flight of fancy soars high in wondering if these birds are descendants of the Seirenes, These sea nymphs, given bird form, settled some considerable time ago, on a similar flowery island.

PLANT SCULPTURES ON ROCK

A Topiarius - a creator of topia or places - is seen at work in the plant sculptures at the lighthouse of Cape Corakas. Two 40 centimetre live shrubs have been teased into the female form. These land art sculptures are not simply placed there; they have taken root, from a few grains of soil atop the craggy rock of the coast of Paros. An artists mind has imagined them; an artists hand has shaped them. The prickly pairs commanding presence, with arms outstretched, suggests mythic tales of women war-riors. They shake and dance in the wind, in their elevated position looking out over the Sea. The small, whimsical art intervention heightens awareness of our presence in the land and seascape. It is a delight.

By documenting these accomplished art installations, we try to capture a moment in time. We do this to honour the artists who made them, to say thank you for the precious moments of delight experienced in the discovery of their work.In common with the world renowned historic art objects of Paros, we see that these contemporary artists names are un-known. We feel kinship and enjoy a sense of lineage with artists, who work in the landscape, unheralded and unafraid to make art. As artists we are compelled to do thus, and will continue to do so.London based visual artists and filmmakers, Clare O Hagan and Denise Wyllie, form the artist partnership of Wyllie O Hagan. Together, the two artists tackle and deliver huge art projects and exhibitions. These are ambitious in scale and concept conveying complex aspects of the human condition. With their wide professional experience they utilize a range of media within their moving image film work, using paintings, prints, textiles and land art.
