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)

The installation is an extension of the current exhibition "broken-yet-holding" by the artistic collective Brenner-Havelka-Plessl, which is simultaneously on view at the Gefängnis / Le Carceri gallery in Caldaro. The desire to foster empathy and a deeper understanding through a form of dialogical communication is what led Brenner-Havelka-Plessl to combine their individual skills. Their debut exhibition "broken-yet-holding" presents the public with the collective’s transformative process, in which they leave behind old ways of working in order to build a new shared identity. The creative process—initially disorienting, later revealing a new interpretive collage—symbolizes liberation from social stigma and prejudice. At SKB ARTES, the installation Fragment 02 is on display. It connects selected elements of the collaboratively created paintings shown in Caldaro. Details from these works tell further facets of mental health, expressed through stapling and stitching. A live transmission between the two exhibition sites makes the fragmentation and multiplicity perceptible within the space once again. Exhibition duration: May 30th - June 28th

From 1 April to the end of June, the Museum of Nature is showing macro photographs of insects by South Tyrolean photographer Ulrike Mitterstieler. Ulrike Mitterstieler, born in Bolzano in 1965 and raised in Fiè allo Sciliar, only discovered her passion for photography late in life. Her enthusiasm for insects, which has accompanied her since childhood, is combined with macro photography in order to visualise the hidden beauty and complexity of these small creatures. Her work enables viewers to recognise details that often remain hidden to the naked eye. The photographer was selected as part of the South Tyrol Nature Museum's Open Call, in which local artists were invited to submit works with a South Tyrolean connection. The aim of the project is to utilise the transitional area between the first and second floors of the museum with changing exhibitions and thus offer regional talent a platform. The current exhibition builds on the success of the previous presentation ‘Kontakt’ by Christian Passeri, which can be seen from January up to and including Sunday 30 March 2025. The exhibition invites visitors to experience the world of insects from a new perspective and discover the often overlooked beauty of these animals. It is accessible from 1 April to 29 June 2025 during the regular opening hours of the Nature Museum and is included in the admission price. Info: Tel. 0471 412964

On 8 May, SKB ARTES opens two exhibitions of two positions on the South Tyrolean art scene. Both engaging and different from each other. Both exhibitions create stages: Willy Verginer, internationally known for his sculptural works, stages with theatrical force a reality that seems to be out of control. Alexander Wierer, winner of the 2024 Paris Residency Prize of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bolzano, together with Rasmus Ramö Streith, invites us to follow autobiographical traces of the interpersonal and what is apparently secondary, beyond the visible. Opening 8.5.2025 7.00 p.m. Uhr SKB ARTES 8.5. - 5.7.2025 Tuesday - Friday 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Opening 8.5.2025 7.00 p.m. Uhr SKB ARTES 8.5. Speakers Alexander Zoeggeler president SKB Stefan Pan president Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio Lisa Trockner curator In this five-room exhibition, Willy Verginer presents a comprehensive overview of his sculptural work of the last 10 years. With Growtesk, the sculptor offers a glimpse into a distorted world, where houses are turned upside down, the sky turns into columns, people sink roots, pigs hide in trees and gorillas dance on tables. Reinforced by brilliant monochromatic colour cuts in the wood, Verginer creates scenarios of bizarre growth, subversive actions, asphyxiating dystopias and mild shipwrecks. Far from the everyday, reality is reflected. An awakening poetry, disturbing, captivating and involving, runs through the exhibition. From room to room, new spheres of perception are revealed. ALEXANDER WIERER & RASMUS RAMÖ STREITH_PROJECT no, no flowers winner Residence Cité Internationale des Arts Paris 2024, supported by the Fondation Cassa di Risparmio Some encounters are like a reflection - deeply connected, disengaged from space and time. Alexander Wierer and Rasmus Ramö Streith first met in the summer of 2024, in Paris, during their stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts. At that time, the Olympic Games were taking place in Paris, turning the city into an isolated and guarded space. The July heat played its part, further paralysing people and children. Under these circumstances, a friendship was born. Shoe soles, leftover cakes and a cash machine intertwine in the exhibition no, no flowers into a tale. They tell of the traces of the path travelled, the celebrations celebrated and the receipt of a very deep friendship.

The Association of Artists of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano presents a new project to explore the local artistic reality. The exhibition project aims to investigate the subtle boundary between dream and reality, a fascinating and thought-provoking theme. Through a selection of works by contemporary artists, the exhibition seeks to examine how the dream world influences the perception of reality and vice versa, thus creating a dialogue between the imaginary and the concrete.

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

In March 2025, Museion will present a landmark exhibition about the relationship between graffiti and contemporary fine art. The first museum exhibition in Italy to investigate the art history of spray paint, Graffiti focuses on how the visual vernacular of the city and the street has entered the studio. Above all, the show contends that graffiti is a way of seeing and experiencing urban landscapes. Bringing together transdisciplinary works from across a 75 year period, the show centers on an approach that moves beyond the historization of graffiti as an “outsider” practice. Beginning with pre-graffiti spray paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, the exhibition unfolds through works by renowned graffiti writers of the 1980s, and contemporary artists who implement graffiti into their diverse practices. Spray paint, the tool which characterizes contemporary graffiti, was patented in the United States in 1951. Between its introduction as a product in the 1950s and the late 1960s – when the form of graffiti that is widely recognized today was first practiced – there was a lapse of almost 20 years, during which fine artists also experimented with the tool. Once spray paint became the dominant style for graffiti writing, its subsequent use in any capacity became tied to graffiti. A simple line of spray paint immediately calls to mind associations with rebellion and urbanity, whether this is intentional or not. Occupying 1,500 square meters across the two largest floors of Museion, the show features key works from the latter half of the 20th Century until the present day, as well as site-specific new works. Graffiti takes – as its point of departure – works from the 1950s and 1960s by artists such as Hedda Sterne, David Smith, Martin Barré, Dan Christensen, Carol Rama, and Charlotte Posenenske. In juxtaposition are spray paint on canvas works by seminal graffiti writers such as Rammellzee, Futura 2000, Blade, and Lee Quiñones. A selection of significant 1980s and 1990s paintings, which clearly reference or incorporate graffiti, by Lady Pink & Jenny Holzer, Martin Wong & LA2, and Keith Haring, is followed by more recent examples of spray paintings by Heike-Karin Föll, Michael Krebber, and Christopher Wool. Digital tag drawings by Georgie Nettell meet Patricia L. Boyd’s photogram of a bus shelter and Karin Sander’s Patina Paintings, among many other works. This part of the exhibition further includes artworks by contemporary graffiti writers such as Kunle Martins and WANTO, and a new piece by N.O.Madski in dialogue with sculptures by KAYA. The exhibition continues in the form of a city scape, occupied by various works incorporating urban realities. This includes films and photography by Charles Atlas and Manuel DeLanda, as well as numerous large-scale installations and sculptures such as Klara Lidén’s readymade trash cans and junction boxes, or Josephine Pryde’s New Media Express, a model train covered in miniature graffiti. Graffiti methods of mark making are reflected in R.I.P. Germain’s sculpture of a false storefront, a new wall installation by Matias Faldbakken, and street casts by Alix Vernet. This exhibition inaugurates a new long-term Museion research project which focuses on soft and non-violent forms of resistance – and art as a social and urban practice. The exhibition is co-curated by New York based artist and archivist Ned Vena (b. 1982 Boston, USA). His artistic practice, which involves paintings, sculptures, installations, and films, was deeply informed by his active practice as a graffiti writer and his profound research into the history of graffiti; and vice versa, his thorough studies of the history of painting also shaped his understanding of graffiti. Both his personal dedication and cross-disciplinary archival knowledge manifest in the exhibition.

The exhibition ‘Mercanti si diventa’ was created with the intention of investigating the figure of the merchant, the protagonist and soul of the city of Bozen from the earliest times, and his evolution from a ‘simple’ shopkeeper to a full-fledged fair merchant. On a local level, this qualitative leap took place between the 17th and 18th centuries, thanks to the spread of innovative trade manuals, the growing importance of Bolzano's fairs, and the role of the Mercantile Magistrate. The exhibition, which was realised thanks to loans from institutions, public archives and private collectors, aims to revive the intense commercial activity that characterised Bolzano's fairs in their heyday. The exhibition includes a reconstruction of the studio of an enterprising merchant. The maps, paintings and guild insignia on display emphasise how important transport activities were for international trade. On display are some valuable manuscripts from the Menz Archive, which give an insight into the complex structure that underpinned the organisation of a market, and some rare printed books, veritable encyclopaedias ‘of trade’. The exhibition ends with an inlaid panel by Alois Delug, an unfinished work from the early 20th century and exhibited for the first time at the Mercantile Museum. It ideally sums up those atmospheres, giving us a snapshot of the past of Bolzano, a city of fairs and markets. Exhibition in Italian and German

Scenes of peaceful life of shepherds and grazing animals, of hard work in adverse weather and in mostly uncomfortable areas: the cultural history of pastoralism moves between these two poles. When people began to settle in the Alps, bringing their domestic animals with them, the post-glacial landscape began to change. The exhibition illustrates the steps of this development up to today's debate about grazing animals and their predators. Sculptures, models, games, interviews and videos on the work of shepherds together with their dogs provide insights into the cultural practice of pastoralism and the importance of shepherds, who not only protect the flock from wolves. Shepherding can in fact play a decisive role on the environment, biodiversity, animal welfare, climate and human nutrition.
