Beschreibung

In the Cretan grounds hundreds of ancient olive trees, have been living, even from Minoan times. They are living antiquities that still give their fruits to man. Over the past few years these olive trees are being uprooted due to public or private construction works. The network of Cultural Associations of Crete (with the participation of dozens of cultural and environmental associations) and with the scientific support of the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, have been developing, initiatives for the salvation of these ancient olive trees. They locate the trees, inform the holders on their value, create electronic data base and start the process for their dating. The initiative is supported by local authorities and intellectuals.
At the same time the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Crete and the Network of Cultural Associations of Crete, have organised an international art exhibition entitled "The ancient olive grove of Crete in the depth of time". Already, 314 artists from Greece and other countries have created works of painting, sculpture, engraving, mosaics and photographs, inspired by the ancient Cretan olive grove, which were delivered to the Chamber of Visual Arts of Greece and the TEI Crete.
Part of the art work has already been exhibited as a preliminary exhibition from 25th of June until 10 July 2010 in TEI of Crete.
The complete exhibition will now be on display for viewing in the International Exhibition Centre, Crete (Gournes, Heraklion) from 25th of July to the 31st of August 2010. The art critic Mrs. Maria Marangou has kindly offered to arrange the art exhibition. The exhibition will be open to the public every day from 11:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m.
Entrance is free.
The exhibition is co-organised by the Prefectures of Heraklion, Lasithi, Rethymnon and Chania. It is supported by the Ministry of Agricultural Development, the Regional Authority of Crete, the Municipalities of Heraklion and Gouves, the Chamber of Visual Arts and the World Council of Cretans.
