On
a
recent
trip
to
Greece,
Caterina
Pizanias
came
upon
a
project
involving
eleven
sculptors
who
had
been
working
al
fresco
all
summer
creating
statues
in
full
view
of
the
public.
These
statues
will
be
installed
across
the
Marathon
Route,
just
like
in
ancient
Olympia
and
then
after
the
Olympics
they
hope
that
financing
will
be
made
available
to
buy
them
individually,
or
that
the
mayor
of
Athens
will
create
a
sculpture
park.
It
was
magical
just
to
watch
them
work....even
with
the
tons
of
dust!

"Slow Food is dedicated to the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure, culture and community; to the invigoration and proliferation of regional, seasonal culinary traditions, and to living a slower and more harmonious rhythm of life."The movement (the antithesis of "fast food") has its roots in Italy and promotes support of local producers, locally produced foods, and the restaurants and other eating establishments that use and serve their products. The ArtExchange is committed to the same philosophy in our choices of eating and/or drinking establishments during our tours of Greece.
