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.
