A Message from the President of the Congress

Dear friends, members of AIMC,

As appointed president of the 12th AIMC congress, I would like to welcome you in Greece.

Together with the group of greek volunteers we work hard in order to serve in the best way the aims of the congress. Our main concern is to ensure that you will be more than satisfied with your participation in the congress and your stay in Greece.

Some of the criteria we have set for that, were safe and easy access to all places involved and a tour program which combines the best of classical Greece, with Delos, the sacred island and center of Cyclades on top, where I will personally show the secrets of the mosaics, since I have worked there for more than 10 years as their conservator..

It is more than true that the last months we have monopolized international media time with the situation of the Greek Economy, a fact that may have caused you worries about the successful outcome of the congress. It is also true that we are trying to adjust to the new circumstances, but regardless of the strict economical measures, some things stay the same, such as, our hospitality and our will to welcome you as friends, safe, at home.

Being sure that, with your participation and help we will all enjoy a successful congress, a very interesting mosaic exhibition and a fascinating tour, the volunteers and I are waiting to welcome you in Athens.

Please remember to notify us about flight number and arrival time, to pick you up from the airport.

See you soon!

Nikos

LUCIANA NOTTURNI - Mosaic seductions

The exhibition "Mosaic seductions" by the artist from Ravenna Luciana Notturni has been opened at the workshop Laboratorio EMME Di Mosaici, Via Salara 33 Ravenna. The exhibition has been realized thanks to the collaboration with the cultural association Ad Arte and the Port Authority of Ravenna. With this institution an interesting relationship has been set. Until the end of the exhibition the work "La Musica" (inspired by Gustave Klimt) will be hosted at the Port Authority headquarters.
The exhibition intends to be the continuation of a three-year project of six events organized by the workshop Laboratorio EMME Di Mosaici, dedicated to the more recent history of the artists and mosaicists from Ravenna.

Notturni presents nine mosaic works, realized following the traditional tecnique. The artist renews an ancient art: marbles, glasses, golds and silvers embellish the figurative landscapes according to original and interesting solutions.
The art critic Bruno Bandini explains: "Luciana, in una parola, o meglio nelle sue opere, sembra dimostrare come il mosaico – fatto linguistico, retorico e creativo – riesca come nel caso delle variazioni su stilemi naturalistici, o nella "revisione" di immagini "classiche" che, all'interno di un calembour ottico, ci dimostrano come anche nello stereotipo visivo ci siano processi da inventare, letture da scoprire"

Biography
Luciana Notturni graduated at Istituto D'Arte of Ravenna in Italy in 1968. After receiving her teaching qualifications in 1975, she began teaching Mosaic Art at such prestigious schools as the Academy of Fine Art of Ravenna. In 1990 she was invited to join the staff at Scuola Nazionale del Restauro di Ravenna, the most important mosaic restoration school in the world, teaching the techniques of mosaic restoration and supervising all laboratorial work. In the course of her career, she has been involved with the artistic production of many mosaic projects, cooperating with international artists, architects and designers such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Balthus, E. Baj, L.Bartolini, V.Bendini, S.Cattani, A. Mendini, E.Montessori, Concetto Pozzati, E.Tadini.
She founded the Scuola Arte Del Mosaico, where in an intensive 5-day workshop, she and her trained staff teach the classical techniques of mosaic making.
