SUMMARY:Roman Britain: Romans at the Edge of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Romans in Britain as you venture north from Chester\, England\, to Edinburgh\, Scotland\, with a foray along Hadrian’s Wall\, which was famously constructed ca. A.D. 122 along the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. Experience a world at the edge of the Empire and amidst the natural beauty of old medieval towns\, verdant countryside\, and the scenic Lake District\, discovering for yourself the remains of formerly vibrant Roman forts and towns\, museum collections of fascinating Roman artifacts\, and Rome’s influence on the Britain of today. \nHighlights:\n•Visit two sites that comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”: Vindolanda\, not only one of Europe’s most important Roman sites but also where your AIA lecturer/host has been doing fieldwork since 2002; and Arbeia Roman Fort\, which was a key supply base to Hadrian’s Wall.\n•Take a walking tour of the 1st-century A.D. Roman fortress-town of Chester\, home to the most complete ancient city walls in Britain as well as Britain’s largest Roman amphitheater.\n•Explore the bustling lanes of York\, which was established as a Roman garrison town in A.D. 71 and went on to be a Viking stronghold and prosperous medieval city.\n•Drive though the breathtaking English Lake District\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, including a cruise excursion on Lake Windermere\, England’s largest lake; and a stop at Castlerigg Stone Circle\, which is one of the earliest Neolithic stone circles in Britain.\n•Walk the streets of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh\, including the historic Royal Mile and Calton Hill\, which was considered Edinburgh’s version of Athens’ Acropolis in the 19th century\, and are altogether a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\n•Marvel at museum collections showcasing spectacular Roman finds and more\, including the Yorkshire Museum and Gardens; Great North Museum: Hancock\, whose collections include carved and inscribed stones from Hadrian’s Wall\, among many other treasures; Vindolanda’s nearby Roman Army Museum; and Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk:  Alan LeQuire
DESCRIPTION:Join the Parthenon and AIA-Nashville Society for a free in-person talk on Tuesday\, June 24\, at 6 PM at the Parthenon. Free registration required. \nRSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nashville-parthenon-artist-talk-alan-lequire-tickets-1335515766609?aff=oddtdtcreator \nAlan LeQuire will discuss the new sculptures created for the exhibition Monumental Figures. These 24 sculptures—displayed throughout the Parthenon\, inside and out—celebrate the inspirational people among us in everyday life. The figures include activists\, musicians\, athletes\, doctors and friends—elevated to the status of heroes by the large scale of the works. \nLeQuire completed the Athena Parthenos statue inside the Parthenon 35 years ago\, in 1990\, as a project in experimental archaeology. In the 1980s\, at the start of his career\, he undertook a process of research\, modeling\, planning and construction that lasted 8 years\, with further gilding and painting in 2002. Since then\, Alan has created many commemorative works and portraits. He has continued to develop his artistry\, using traditional sculptural techniques of modeling\, enlargement\, and casting\, viewing sculpting as a physical discipline. He has now mentored and trained many other younger artists. \nHear directly from Alan some reflections on his inspirations and process\, and look with him across 35 years at his career as an artist. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nAlan LeQuire is a Nashville sculptor best known for his monumental figures. LeQuire began sculpting at age 11 and studied with Nashville sculptor Puryear Mims\, even before receiving his BFA from Vanderbilt University. He spent one year in Italy apprenticing with the American sculptor Milton Hebald\, and completed an MFA at University of North Carolina\, Greensboro\, continuing to study figurative sculpture with Peter Agostini. LeQuire cites the self-taught Nashville sculptor William Edmondson as among his early inspirations. \nSoon after completing his MFA in 1981\, Alan won the commission to reconstruct the Athena Parthenos statue inside Nashville’s full-scale replica of the Parthenon. He was charged with re-creating a celebrated ancient sculpture known only from partial descriptions and later\, small-scale versions. This project was completed in 1990\, after 8 years of intensive research\, consultation with leading archeologists\, modeling\, and casting–a lasting achievement in experimental archaeology. LeQuire has undertaken many additional commissions\, including individual portraits and larger work in public spaces. Among many other works\, he is known for the colossal Musica composition on Nashville’s music row\, the bronze doors of Nashville’s Main Library downtown\, and the monument to the suffragettes in Centennial Park. \nWANT TO LEARN MORE?
