How is a “unique sound” created? And what sounds – today – are good? Jazz musicians – unlike those in European art music – have their own sound, and expression is always more important than just beautiful tone. The Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige, under the artistic direction of Stefan Festini Cucco, Max von Pretz, and Roberto Tubaro, will explore not only the new and innovative sound worlds of contemporary European jazz this summer, but will also enable the creative development of these sounds through interesting acoustic locations across the region. In many unusual resonance spaces, individual sounds will be generated – and live-modified during the concerts. Over 50 concerts will take place from June 27 to July 6 in many different locations across South Tyrol. Concert venues include the Bunker H in Fagen Street in Bolzano, the Franzensfeste Fortress, the Roner Distillery in Termeno, the Ost West Club in Merano, the exhibition halls of the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation in Bolzano, the Poschhausstollen in Ridnaun, the Bozen Filmclub, the Harpf beverage store in Brunico, the Stanglerhof in Fie allo Sciliar, the Rittner Horn, the town square in Sterzing, as well as the Waaghaus and the park of Hotel Laurin in Bolzano. New this year are – in addition to the Prettau mine – the Hotel Pragser Wildsee, the former prison "Tschumpus" in Brixen, and the Pünthof in Algund. At the Sudwerk of the Batzenhäusl in Bolzano, in addition to the late-night concerts, the "Kabarila" concert performance will take place for the third time: a five-hour jazz ritual where the audience can either dance or simply listen and enjoy the music. Tickets available online on the official Südtirol Jazz Festival 2025 website.

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)

Giancarlo Lamonaca: RAUSCHEN In a world where digital images have become the dominant form of memory, the exhibition Rauschen (Noise) asks what is being lost. These are images in a state of transition, in which reminiscences of a digital archive reveal a different form of imagery. Their disturbances generate resistance—against the claim to completeness and against the smoothness of perfected image worlds. A digital palimpsest in which memory is not preserved or discarded, but transformed. Mozzarellalight: TO FADE IN Water, a floating matter and a moving organism, moves to the center of perception. It is no longer just a simple element, but a living body that changes over time and produces unstable and silent microsystems within itself. Every moment creates a new image, like a photograph that eludes capture. An apparition that cannot be captured, but only briefly reveals itself—only to disappear again immediately. The installation will be visible mainly in the dark hours of the day, as in a photographic process in which the image slowly appears on the film.

Psychocolonial Spaces: Act 1 is a project conceived and implemented by Samia Henni, and commissioned by Ar/Ge Kunst, to be held in Bolzano between 24 May and 2 August 2025. The project investigates the relationships between borders, territories and inhabited spaces, and Frantz Fanon’s (1925-1961) analysis of the psychology of colonialism. The project for Ar/Ge Kunst, Psychocolonial Spaces, is the first of a series of events that may be activated in various cities and places. Act 1 sets out from the analysis of the invisible and invisibilized spaces of segregation and alienation across the territory of Bolzano and its surroundings: colonial traces, monuments and streets, places that even today have an impact on people’s lives. But what comes to mind when we think of ‘psychocolonial’ spaces? How do they affect us and how do we recognize them? How does our body absorb the violence of these spaces and how do our education, origins and attitude change the way we think about these places? What emerges when we deviate from binary systems of thought and organization? Samia Henni (1980, DZ/CH) is a writer, historian, and an exhibition maker of the built, destroyed and imagined environments and their relationship with the practices of colonization, war and environmental contamination. Her most recent research has culminated in the exhibitions Performing Colonial Toxicity (2023–; Amsterdam, Zurich, London, Providence, Paris, Berlin, Ottawa), Housing Pharmacology (2020–21; Marseille, Paris), Discreet Violence: Architecture and the French War in Algeria (2017–2022; Zurich, Rotterdam, Berlin, Johannesburg, Paris, Prague, Ithaca and Philadelphia), as well as in the books Colonial Toxicity: Rehearsing French Radioactive Architecture and Landscape in the Sahara (EN, 2024, 2025; FR, 2025), and Architecture of Counterrevolution: The French Army in Northern Algeria (EN, 2017, 2022; FR, 2019); and the volumes Deserts Are Not Empty (EN, 2022, 2025; IT, 2024) and War Zones (2018) of which she was the editor. This project is made possible with the support of the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.

Acquired over the past decade, these videos are being showcased at Museion for the first time, exploring memory through the medium’s experimental techniques, such as loops, overlays, and flickering. As video art remains a vital part of contemporary museums, Museion has actively expanded its collection, embracing this dynamic medium to uncover new meanings through the layering of visual and narrative languages. Currently, the museum holds 167 video works, including 28 installations and 139 single-channel films, which form a crucial part of its 4,450-piece collection. This focus dates back to a pivotal moment in 2007-2008 when Museion acquired 52 video works through the Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) in New York. Since then, video art has remained a key area of growth, serving as a bridge between historical narratives, experimental storytelling, technological innovation, and an intergenerational artistic language. At the heart of this exhibition is an exploration of time and the ghostly presence of the past. The selected videos delve into themes of remembrance and transformation, using archival footage, found materials, and visual distortions to challenge conventional storytelling. Like archaeologists unearthing forgotten histories, the featured artists employ montage, appropriation, and layering to craft narratives that challenge the linearity of time. These latest additions to the Museion collection not only strengthen its role as a contemporary art institution but also hold particular value for the local region. By continuously expanding its video archive, Museion ensures that South Tyrol remains a hub for contemporary artistic discourse, fostering connections between global narratives and local cultural heritage. The exhibition, therefore, serves as a dynamic platform for engaging with the past while reinterpreting it through modern artistic lens. Videos on display: Korakrit Arunanondchai, Untitled (Painting with History in a Room Filled with People with Funny Names 3), 2015 Barbara Gamper, Becoming Otherwise (hot pink triangles and holes, or how to become woman?), 2020 James Richards, Qualities of Life: Living in the Radiant Cold, 2022 Berty Skuber, Epicycles, 2013

The exhibition sheds light on the Peasants' War and its prehistory using archival documents from around 1500, focussing on the social, political and economic aspects of life before and during the peasant uprisings. Through the presentation of archival documents from the Diocesan Archives, works of art and everyday objects, perspectives on the Peasants' War that have been little illuminated to date are shown in order to visualise the multi-layered nature of the historical events and their complex causes. The exhibition builds a bridge between past and present and encourages reflection on the continuity of social upheaval.

This summer, an eighth sea joins the seven traditional ones: a sea of mountains, bringing EDIT Napoli to South Tyrol. It is fantastic, restless, driven by curiosity and exchange. The objects selected for the pop-up at the Luna Kiosk are colourful and joyful, telling stories of the South and the sun, while also sharing much with this region: the love for detail, the time devoted, traditional craftsmanship, and the passion for beauty and material things. All of this merges with contemporary design, blending old and new, familiar and unexpected. The wave that carries beautiful things to Bolzano for L’OTTAVO MARE is playful and full of momentum, inviting everyone to ride it and feel part of a bigger idea, united by passion. The wind is fair—let’s set sail...
