SUMMARY:Virtual Symposium: 20 Years of Gold on Athena
DESCRIPTION:Join the Parthenon for a virtual talk on Tuesday\, August 23\, at 6 PM Central. This online Symposium is free and open to the public. \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nTwenty years ago\, the colossal statue of Athena Parthenos inside the Nashville Parthenon underwent a transformation. After standing as a white statue from 1990-2002\, a team of experts and volunteers added over 8 pounds of gold leaf plus colorful paint details to Athena. Join this Symposium to hear more about the gold gilding process and this incredible project that changed the way millions of Parthenon visitors see ancient statues. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:\nMicki and Mitch Cavanah\, Reed’s Gold Leaf \nFor more than 30 years\, Micki and Mitchell Cavanah have been perfecting the fine tradition of gilding (gold leafing) and coordinating with other gilders and craftsmen from related fields to ensure the mutual preservation of the art form of antique & frame restoration. Micki and Mitchell are expert gold gilders and were involved with the project that added gold and paint to the statue of Athena Parthenos in the Naos over the summer of 2002. \nMicki and Mitchell are long-time members of the prestigious Society of Gilders\, of which Micki has previously served as Vice-President and currently serves on the board of trustees. Both are well-respected educators in the arts of restoration and gilding who have worked on famous sites all over the United States including the Louisiana State Museum\, Chicago’s Glessner House\, and memorials in Washington DC including the Iwo Jima Memorial and Marconi Memorial.

SUMMARY:The Odyssey: A Retelling
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon and Centennial Park Conservancy are proud to present The Odyssey: A Retelling\, by Lisa Bachman Jones in the East Gallery of the Parthenon from June 23 through January 8. \nJones is a Nashville-based artist interested in entropy and interconnectivity. Working across disciplines\, she investigates the everyday through a lens of care. \nIn preparation for A Retelling Jones read Emily Wilson’s 2017 translation of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. The exhibition highlights the hospitality of the overlooked identities that made Odysseus’ long journey home possible. The body of work incorporates a wide range of media and techniques\, which echoes the number of communities\, locations\, actions and objects that paved the way for the classic homecoming. \nReflecting on the exhibit Jones notes the significance of the gallery’s location within the Parthenon\, which prompted the concept for A Retelling. The Parthenon in Athens\, Greece was a place for offering thanks to and soliciting help from Athena. The goddess is a constant in the poem; orchestrating events and guiding encounters. This body of work presents an opportunity to reflect upon those who we receive support from and those to whom we extend our support. \nThank you to the Sandra Schatten Foundation\, Tennessee Arts Commission\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Memorial Foundation\, Jackson\, Humanities Tennessee\, Metro Parks\, and Centennial Park Conservancy for underwriting the Parthenon’s exhibition and educational programming. The content of Parthenon exhibitions do not necessarily represent the views of our partners and underwriters.
