He is a brooder, a thinker, someone who critically questions blind faith in progress. When he rushes through the streets, restless but observant, he might already be envisioning his next project: a façade, a painting, a sundial to adorn a wall, or a family crest. Gottfried Stabler, however, became particularly well-known for the gold leaf technique that he developed himself. (Text: Kuratorium Kommende Lengmoos)

STAZIONE UNO GALLERY, an exhibition space located in the heart of Bolzano, is composed of spaces totaling over 300 square meters,divided over 2 floors and 3 rooms. The creator, Johann Kosjek, assisted by the Mediamacs Design team responsible for the exhibitiongraphics, aims to fill the gallery with special exhibitions for a period of two years. Stazione Uno now presents its latest creation, LIVINGBIOGRAPHIES, which, as the name suggests, tells the life stories of everyday people. At the center of the exhibition are the personalitiesof the individual exhibitors: their families, their histories, their life paths, their dreams, and finally their "diagnosis." With a commonthread: the participants in the exhibition are always connected to their destiny and not to the successes of an overly satisfying life. Stazione Uno comes to life through its participants. A team that could not be more diverse: people with and without disabilities, peoplewith and without "diagnoses," people even with 100% disability, gathered in what we have chosen to call the DOWN ART COLLECTION.People who have something to say and tell their unusual life stories, facing them positively, and constituting the so-called primary targetgroup of our exhibition work.

Today’s wars are wars of images. Visuals of military tactics, war crimes, and destruction fill our daily lives, but they are more than just reports. They compete in the information battlefield. Violent imagery has always driven the media, but with 24/7 news and social media, global audiences are constantly exposed to conflict images. News are commercialized, footage is edited like action films cutting out normal life to keep viewers hooked. In a body of works created within the last decade, Mykola Ridnyi explores how to discuss violence without perpetuating it, by using metaphors of blindness to highlight society’s dehumanization amidst sensational news and challenges of war. Since 2014 the artist has dealt with Russian war against Ukraine, its transformations and its perception in the world on its way from a hybrid conflict to the full-scale invasion. curated by Sabine Gamper

The work is based on twenty oral history interviews that Lisa Settari was allowed to conduct with ten women-loving women. Thanks to these oral sources and a focus on women's, gender and queer history, the existing historiography of South Tyrol can be both enriched and critically scrutinised. Lisa Settari: born 1994 in Merano, Bachelor in Political Science, Master in European Women's and Gender History, currently lecturer at the ‘Alexandru Ioan Cuza’ University in Iași (Romania).

The sky has always been picturesque in its colour gradations and atmospheric moods, more recently also through auroras in our latitudes. But it is also marked by human existence: Air traffic, climate change, horizon-marking interventions in nature. And it symbolises something greater than man.

The fossil museum is designed as an outdoor museum and is accessible to interested visitors at any time and explains itself by means of texts and audio stations. A guided tour for a group of the museum with one of our local experts is highly recommended. Booking is possible by means of direct requests to the tourist office: info@moelten.net It is now a long time – 260 million years – since trees resembling today’s araucaria grew in Mölten/Meltina. The ginkgos produced feathery leaves, while tree-high horsetails stood between the village of Mölten/Meltina and the Möltner Kaser hut. It is astonishing that clearly identifiable forms of these South Tyrolean primeval forests remain: trees fell into the riverbank or were carried along by the current, embedded in sand and finally transformed into fossils. They can now be seen in the Fossil Museum, which was revitalised in 2023 and designed as an outdoor exhibition. It shows the best of the finds from the area around Mölten/Meltina. Particularly noteworthy are the fossil tree and plant remains, some 260 million years old, as well as the footprints of a small reptile. What is special about the fossils in Mölten/Meltina? There are only three places in South Tyrol where plant fossils from the Late Permian have been recovered: the Bletterbach Gorge; Seceda; and Mölten/Meltina. The finds from Mölten/Meltina are the only ones that reveal entire trees. Details of their growth, their branches, roots and size are all clearly visible, which makes it possible to reconstruct entire forests. The Fossil Museum has a fully equipped multifunctional room that can be hired for events for up to 30 people.

Bolzano. The Centro Trevi-Trevilab offers a truly extraordinary opportunity to get closer to the fascinating, and in some ways still mysterious, Etruscan culture. It does so with the exhibition 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen', promoted by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Italian Culture, thanks to the collaboration of the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, directed by Luana Toniolo, a museum that preserves the most important collection of Etruscan finds in the world. The exhibition, curated by Valentina Belfiore and Maria Paola Guidobaldi of the museum's curatorial team, is part of the second stage of the 'Stories of Art with Great Museums' event, a multi-year journey aimed at discovering the great ancient and modern civilisations, 'another fundamental step towards learning about our past with the aim of keeping interest in culture and the rich artistic heritage preserved in Italy's great museums alive,' emphasised Marco Galateo, Vice President of the Province and Councillor for Italian Culture. The title 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen' already introduces the particular slant of the Bolzano exhibition: it is not a generic exhibition on the Etruscans, but focuses on a specific aspect of their great civilisation, that of artistic and craft production.

Ernst Müller, born and raised in Vinschgau, draws his artistic inspiration from deep-rooted childhood memories. The self-taught artist and trained coachbuilder began painting at the age of thirteen and over the decades has developed into an important chronicler of the South Tyrolean cultural landscape. Influenced by the precise observation of classical masters such as Albin Egger Lienz, Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Monet, Müller initially created scenes of everyday rural life, later devoting himself mainly to picturesque farmsteads and landscapes, which are now considered his trademark. The nostalgia that has accompanied the artist since childhood is omnipresent in his oil paintings. The artist captures the magic of the South Tyrolean mountains with vibrant colours and impasto structures that transport the viewer to a world of the past. Many of the farms he portrays no longer exist, which gives his paintings not only artistic but also documentary value.
