"Slovenian Athens" is a reconstruction of Slovenian modernism in all its variations. For this reason, painters from all over Slovenia, of different inclinations and generations take only one subject, namely that of the "Sower" which, particularly at the beginning of this century, inspired many Slovenian painters. It is a scene which, with its narrative and expressive suggestiveness, goes so far beyond all the boundaries set by imposed aesthetic and ideological patterns, that it remains embedded in myth.

Abstract from the IRWIN epistle to the artistic project "Slovenian Athens"
