SUMMARY:Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly Annual Lecture for the Preservation of Hellenic Heritage and Culture Presents On The Rock
DESCRIPTION:  \nBook Description: \nThe marble workers laboring on the decades‐long restoration of the Acropolis are the invisible force rebuilding one of the world’s most storied monuments. Inheritors of millennia-old tradition\, few carvers exist today; fewer pass the Acropolis entrance exams. Their work is a highly technical amalgam of past and present\, yet what these master marble carvers do and how they do it it has been undocumented until now. \nAs the restoration enters its final phases\, this book of interviews explores the workers’ craft\, techniques\, training\, and specific roles within the restoration in their unique and deeply personal voices. On the Rock: The Acropolis Interviews brings together ancient building practices\, the teaching of traditional craft\, changes in the practice of architectural restoration\, and the social and class dynamics within the restoration site. Concurrently\, the book considers Greece’s political and economic crisis from the workers’ position. Amidst crippling unemployment\, work on the Rock continues\, despite radical cuts. How has the Greek crisis affected the technicians’ thoughts about their craft\, jobs\, and citizenship? On the Rock explores the intersection of these issues. \n  \nBiography: \nArtist ALLYSON VIEIRA lives and works in New York.
