Experiences made in a biotope of ideas

         

         First panel at the International Writers and Translator's Center of Rhodes

 

During the opening of the conference, following persons related to the action on Rhodes:

• Mayor of Rhodes

• Region of South Aegean- Department of Culture

• Vice mayor for Culture, Municipality of Rhodes

• Anna Arvanitaki, president of POIEIN & PRATTEIN

• Haroula Hadjinicolaou explained what she as curator had in mind when initiating this action. She had chosen the poem of Katerina Anghelaki Rooke called 'Destiny also flows' and in which there appears the significant term of ‘’Imperishable water’’.

The experiences of the Workshop: artistic responses

 

The artistic group

 

Moderation: Haroula Hadjinicolao

Alexandra Zanne: Screening of the action, working close to the ground, almost invisible and constantly observing what traces the participants would leave behind. This includes the rubbish they left in the bus once they disembarked - a silent coment about environmental consciousness and limitations thereof.

Nikos Kasseris: His photography identified with his photos the issues Rhodes faces and came the closest to outlining an agenda for future actions on Rhodes.

Boudewijn Payens: His compositions have shown what communication can mean when involving children e.g. taking a long rope and then letting the children create shapes without saying something 'verbally' to each other. His final action with ice was a good metaphor for the relationship created amongst the participants but also what perishable ice can stand for as a questionable sustainability if allowed to melt and then leave but bare traces on the steeps.

Phivos-Angelos: His composition of natural sounds into forms of music created with the help of computer based systems another art of listening

Insa Winkler: environmental art

Iakovos Xenakis: visual art

This session was followed by an action with 'ice' conceived by Boudewijn Payens.
