Eppan an der Weinstaße/Appiano sulla Strada del Vino, Alto Adige Wine Road
Hocheppan Castle sits majestically on a rocky spur above Eppan on the Wine Road and is one of the most important fortified castles in South Tyrol. Built around 1130 by the Counts of Eppan, the complex impresses with mighty curtain walls, a striking keep and the well-preserved Palas. Particularly worth seeing is the Romanesque castle chapel, whose interior walls are decorated with extraordinary frescoes. These date back to the 13th century and show both biblical scenes and rare secular depictions - including the famous “dumpling eater”, a humorous testimony to everyday medieval culture. After years of decay, the castle was restored and is now a popular excursion destination with refreshments and a unique view of the Adige Valley. It combines history, art and nature to create an impressive experience.
Hocheppan Castle and its chapel can be visited as part of guided tours, available every 30 minutes from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the following days:

OPENING TEMPORARY EXHIBITION: 12/07/2025
My wife and I were expecting the birth of our daughter in 2021, the year my book MASSIV was published. During this time, I felt a growing desire to send a strong message about the protection of the Alps. That‘s why I donated all of the proceeds from the book – over 100,000 euros – to projects aimed at preserving our mountains.
I didn‘t want to have to explain to my daughter later that I had stood by and done nothing while our Alps were under threat.
Shortly before the book was published, I also made a short film called "A letter to my daughter" – a personal, hopeful letter to my unborn child.
Michael Höllrigl’s expressive stone and bronze sculptures will adorn the gardens of the Kränzelhof in 2025, true to his motto “The hand knows more than the head.” “Letting you dream on and on” is the goal of the sculpture exhibition.
Whether it’s nearly untouched wilderness or an enchanting cultural landscape, gardens represent the longing for paradise: Tamed nature and untamed inner worlds meet and perhaps grow together. In a place shaped by the interplay of nature and culture, like the Kränzelhof, the things of nature and the things of art point to each other in a way that echoes Joseph von Eichendorff’s immortal line from the poem “Wünschelrute”: “A song sleeps in all things, which dream on and on...”

Anna Anvidalfarei ‘Selbstgenügsame Orte des Sinns’
In the exhibition by Anna Anvidalfarei (*1996), an artist from Val Badia who lives in Vienna, the body becomes the stage. Its overall image is fragmented, individual areas emerge and serve as the backdrop for various scenes. The body parts detach themselves from the whole and become independent and meaningful moments: self-sufficient places of meaning.
Ears, hands, bellies – they function as double projection surfaces, because they are both body parts and carriers of inner events. The artist opens up the body, looks inside it, but she doesn't see this as a purely physical intervention; it's an existential gesture that searches for the hidden and opens up narrative spaces, using the body as a resonance chamber for sensations. Anna Anvidalfarei says: "For me, looking deep inside oneself is fundamental. Through my works, I analyse various states, often restless states, caused by the body and its organs." She draws inspiration from everyday objects and postures, but also from the wax models and anatomical illustrations in Vienna's Josephinum. Her objects appear realistic, yet at the same time they are unnatural structures that challenge our imagination.
In Neumarkt, Anna Anvidalfarei is exhibiting photographs, analogue prints and textile objects in which she explores the inner landscapes of the body and its physiological scope. The abdomen in particular, with a hole providing a glimpse inside, illustrates the relationship between the bearer and the borne, between stage and play. ‘The opening allows me to connect an event directly to a specific place,’ says the artist.
Vernissage: 18 October 2025 at 6 p.m.
Introduction: Jakob Goubran
This exhibition is part of the interdisciplinary research project “Curating Bolzano Fascist Legacies. A Sustainable Approach to a City’s Dissonant Heritage”. The project began in 2022 and involved designers, art historians, architects and design historians. The project – which benefited from the collaboration of BAU Institute for Contemporary Art and Ecology, the Lungomare cooperative and the Department of Architectural History and Curatorial Studies at the Technical University of Munich, and was supported by the Municipality of Bolzano – was divided into two parts: on the one hand, it developed in-depth research on the traces of Fascist-era interventions still present in the urban public space, which make Bolzano a fascinating subject of study as a border city where the Fascist system is still clearly visible and where different perceptions of the past coexist, not always harmoniously. On the other hand, it explored how the results of the research could be made accessible not only to experts, but to the city as a whole and therefore to its inhabitants. The exhibition brings together the considerations that emerged during the research with a selection of archival materials and a number of artistic interventions that, over time, have seen various practitioners confront the multiple meanings of the marks left by fascism on the urban fabric. The exhibition focuses on the traces that remain in public spaces, collective memory and archives, testing their resonances and dissonances, inviting a more conscious relationship with public space, capable of opposing its possible exploitation.
The LanAntiqua Festival, organised by the LanAntiqua Association, aims to give "early music", which is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, its deserved place in the cultural life of Lana. This music, which is not limited to any epoch, covers the periods from the Middle Ages to Romanticism.
The festival's highest maxim is: original sound, i.e. the performance of the music in an appropriate sound setting on instruments of the period and with the knowledge gained from the historical performance practice handed down in treatises. Thanks to imposing venues such as the church Maria Himmelfahrt in Niederlana with its impressive altar by Hans Schnatterpeck and its special acoustics, top-class concert enjoyment is pre-programmed.

Anuschka Prossliner & Markus Gasser
„TRAUMFÄNGER | ACCHIAPPASOGNI“ (Dreamcatcher)
06.2025-01.2026
"The present is merely a transit space, a void between inklings and memories—those are the true places of our experience. In these floating realms, Anuschka Prossliner weaves a delicate net of childhood fragments, fantasies, illusions, and expectations. Dreamscapes with a magical hue, where the fragile remnants of happiness and longing dangle by a silk thread—yet remain accessible to dreamwalkers. In contrast, Markus Gasser’s dream world is more grounded and earthy. He turns his gaze to matter itself, to stone, and searches for ideas, thought fragments, heads and faces, which he draws to the surface through obsessive shaping—forming them into peoples."
Anuschka Prossliner (1972) consistently reveals a fondness for the fragmentary, the sketch-like, the unfinished. The dot is her constant companion: quiet, reserved, yet precise. With an introspective gaze, she presents fleeting figures, silent beings, fragments of an inner world.
Markus Gasser (1970) has long been devoted to the motif of the head – heads in dialogue with each other, deeply rooted in the earth, like flowers in a field. Sculpted forms in stones of all kinds – large and small, rough and smooth – that nevertheless represent only part of the whole.

Museion Passage and Piccolo Museion - Cubo Garutti
Museion continues to research and explore its own collection by presenting You and the Night and the Music – Francesco Conz Editions from the Museion Collection, an exhibition dedicated to art editions, especially those of Francesco Conz, one of the key figures in the promotion and artistic production of international neo-avant-gardes in Italy.
Curated by Frida Carazzato with the collaboration of the Fondazione Bonotto, through the curatorial advice of Patrizio Peterlini, the exhibition uses the museum collection to explore the cultural legacy and artistic vision of Francesco Conz. This important figure, who worked with Fluxus, Visual Poetry and Concrete Poetry artists, played a decisive role in disseminating these artistic practices in Italy and abroad.
The title of the exhibition is taken from a work by Gerhard Rühm, a visual artist, musician, poet and co-founder of the Wiener Gruppe, and one of the first artists with whom Francesco Conz began producing large-format editions.
The “You and the Night and the Music” title stimulates reflections on the relationship between art, time and the links between artists, collectors and museum institutions. The conjunction “and” in the artwork becomes, in the title of the exhibition, a metaphor for both the network of cultural connections that has given rise to one of the main hubs in the Museion collection and the figure of Conz, whose passion bound together artistic and human experiences.
A number of collectors and art critics, in fact, have played a fundamental role in the history of the museum collection. People like Paolo Della Grazia, who donated his collection to the museum in 2020, Luigi Bonotto, Henry Martin and many others, have helped to create an artistic heritage that is now an essential reference point for the study of neo-avant-gardes. Thanks to their activities, Museion has been able to enrich its collection with a body of works that bears witness to the value of publishing and screenprint production as a means of disseminating contemporary art.
The exhibition is located in the central area of Museion Passage, a space designed to host dynamic installations that are open to the public. The central and corner sections – the latter can be visited until November 16 2025 – present a selection of screenprints on canvas produced by Conz and designed to be easy to transport and exhibit in various contexts. These works interact through videos, artists’ multiples and other editions to create an experience that reflects on the art of publishing both as an artistic tool and as an effective space of cross-genre exchange, in harmony with the Fluxus spirit.
Dolomythos-Museum at Innichen presents: Women scientists
Many women, hardly mentioned in earlier times, made important contributions. We honour these often forgotten personalities, as well as the reserches of ordinary people from the valleys.
On the occasion of the Euregio Museum Year 2025, dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Tyrolean Peasants’ Revolt of 1525 – a historic turning point that continues to raise essential questions about power structures, social justice, political participation, and the potential for societal change – the Hofburg Bressanone presents a two-part exhibition project that sets history and the present in a dialogical relationship. The two exhibitions, 1525-2025. Irruption-Subversion-Renewal (29 March – 31 August 2025) and ETÀ, ÉTATS (12 September 2025 – 11 January 2026), explore the theme of societal transformation from different perspectives. They share a central conceptual motif: rupture as a starting point for movement, encounter, and new forms of social thinking.
ETÀ, ÉTATS links the father-son relationship between Robert and Johannes Bosisio to the socially relevant question of intergenerational dialogue. In the spatial and conceptual design, the two artists meet in the center of the exhibition area, while their independent positions are situated at opposite ends of the sequence of rooms. At this central point of encounter, the focus is less on comparison and more on exchange: a dialogical coexistence aimed at connecting different experiences, ways of thinking, and perspectives.
Zeitraum, the fifth exhibition in the Mamming Now series, curated by artists Valeria Ferrari and Johannes Inderst, is dedicated to the evocative power of the objects collected in the Palais Mamming depot. The focus is on collective memory and the emotional ties that everyday, often forgotten objects form with our subconscious.
The artists regard the ‘understanding, naming and reordering’ of these artefacts as an act of resistance against forgetting. In this way, the objects take on a new meaning that goes far beyond their original function: they are transformed into veritable ‘fetishes of memory’ and create a space for dreams.

In his series motusBerg, Heinz Innerhofer shows spotlights of South Tyrolean landscapes, mountains, and people. The photographs, both in black-and-white and color, resemble blurred sketches that talk about our landscape, which never seems to stand still.
Franz Wanner's first Italian solo exhibition, curated by Kristina Kreutzwald and Martina Oberprantacher, traces his complex artistic research. Using photography, video, words and objects, the artist investigates the past, focusing on the war industry and the use of forced labour in the context of National Socialism, and its effects on society in the present, bringing to light omissions that have been perpetuated over time. For this exhibition, Franz Wanner has also carried out some specific research on the South Tyrolean context and the use of forced labour during the period of the ‘Zone of Operations in the Pre-Alps’, i.e. when the Province of Bolzano was annexed to Nazi Germany.
Kunst Meran Merano Arte hosts AlpiTypes, dedicated to the contemporary reinterpretation and connection between lettering, typographic design and lettering painting. The exhibition focuses on applied graphics developed in the first half of the 20th century in the area currently corresponding to South Tyrol, Tyrol and Trentino. Curated by Antonino Benincasa, Massimo Martignoni and Anna Zinelli, AlpiTypes is based on the in-depth research conducted by Benincasa and Martignoni on local graphics. A group of students from the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano, Faculty of Design and Art, accompanied by Antonino Benincasa, reinterpreted historical typefaces from incomplete alphabets, which at the time were often made by hand, integrating the missing characters, revealing how the original typographic concept was inspired by European stylistic currents such as Bauhaus, Rationalism, the Wiener Secession, Constructivism and the Arts and Crafts movement. The project is enhanced by the involvement of international graphic designers, who use the fonts to create contemporary typographic posters.
The work highlights a quality and topicality of graphic design in the area that is still almost unknown.
On October 10 at 7 pm, Museion is proud to open the first retrospective in Italy dedicated to the work of Nicola L. (b. 1932, Morocco; d. 2018, USA).
From the 1960s onwards, the French artist developed an equally playful and activist practice. Blurring the boundaries between various media such as sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, performance, and film, her work is imbued with subversive wit and the ideals of equality and collectivity.
As part of the new Museion research line, THE SOFTEST HARD, the exhibition celebrates art as a social and urban practice of non-violent resistance and as an invitation to connect in times of crisis.
Temporary exhibition: A tu per tu - Ritratti dalle collezioni
The allure of the portrait as a representation of a subject captured in their essence, whether inner or symbolic, has not gone unnoticed by the Museum Society since the very beginning of its activity, recurring throughout its history: from 1896, the year of its first exhibition, to 1989, with the show Bozner Porträts von 1800 bis heute (Bolzano Portraits from 1800 to Today), and up to the portraits featured in the exhibition Altes Neues. Antico Nuovo, which between 2023 and 2024 enriched the final months of cultural offerings at the Civic Museum before its necessary closure to obtain fire safety certification.
With the completion of the renovation works that brought the building up to current regulations, and while awaiting further structural interventions aimed at restoring the entire building, the Civic Museum resumes this fascination by presenting a temporary exhibition featuring a selection of works—some previously exhibited, others never before shown to the public due to recent restoration or recent acquisition.
In respect of the rotation principle that the new displays will follow, the works, drawn from the Museum’s collections, were selected according to the portrait type, focusing along the exhibition path on four thematic areas: family portraits, individual portraits, portraits and self-portraits of artists, and portraits of figures with important roles in the city.
Whether official representatives, rulers, or simply citizens, many of the depicted individuals have a specific historical connection to Bolzano; all bear witness to a particular era of the city, spanning, through an interesting variety of styles, a time period from the 16th century to the second half of the 20th century.
The exhibition revisits various approaches and reflections on appropriation, artistic and monetary value, through a new commission by Jonathan Monk (UK, 1969). In Shine Bright Like a Diamond at Ar/Ge Kunst, one of the artist’s first institutional solo shows in Italy, Monk weaves together homage, parody, and (re)appropriation, engaging with the work of Chris Burden and the mechanisms of contemporary visual culture. Starting from a viral image of Kim Kardashian standing in front of Urban Light (2008), not crediting Burden’s work, the project reflects on the transformation of art into a reflective surface— a mute icon in a society dominated by image and the performance of the self. In an era where the simulacrum replaces reality, Monk sharply investigates the tensions between authenticity and representation, originality and reproduction.
Jonathan Monk was born in Leicester in 1969 and lives and works in Berlin. He holds a BFA from Leicester Polytechnic (1988) and an MFA from Glasgow School of Art (1991). He is currently exhibiting Limited Company at Belvedere 21, Vienna, Austria. Recent institutional solo exhibitions were S L at Mahler LeWitt Residency, Torre Bonomo, Spoleto, Italy (2024); Exhibit_Model Four at Kindl Berlin, Germany (2019); The Sound Of Laughter Isn't Necessarily Funny at The Gallery, at De Montford University Leicester, United Kingdom (2017); Exhibit Model One at Kunsthaus Baselland, Muttenz, Switzerland (2016); Anything by the Smiths at CAN Neuchâtel, Switzerland (2015); COLOURS SHAPES WORDS (pink, blue, square, circle) at CAC Malaga, Spain (2013); Rew - Shay Hood Project Part II, Artpace, San Antonio, Texas, USA (2009); Time Between Spaces at Palais de Tokyo and Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, France (2008). Upcoming: Something To See Something To Hide/Nothing To See Nothing To Hide at Museum Landskrona, Sweden.

Exhibition
Daniela Atzwanger The works exhibited by the artist explore the connection between emotions, experiences, and their symbolic reflection in reality, illustrating how emotions themselves are perceived, processed, and artistically transformed into new forms.
They also address fundamental themes of the human condition, such as fear and hope, dream and awareness, relationships and solitude. This polarity is reflected in the composition of the background, which often contrasts with the organic subject through subtle tones and geometric shapes.
The clearly defined figures express a very free and at times bold chromatic concept, while various color application techniques give rise to patterns and graphic forms. The viewer’s imagination is stimulated by delicate symbols, allowing the works to resonate in reality as visual echoes.
Daniela Atzwanger, born in 1977 in Brunico, studied graphic design in Bressanone and educational sciences and politics in Innsbruck. Since 2006, she has exhibited in South Tyrol, Hangzhou (China), and Venice. She lives and works in Bolzano.

Europe’s largest monastery complex in Tirol/Tirolo.
Founded in 1142 by the Bishop of Brixen/Bressanone at the intersection of two important routes - the Brenner and the route to the Pustertal valley - the Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery was recognized, among other things, as a hospice and rest area for pilgrims. Today the Monastery makes a name for itself as a place of agriculture, culture and education. From the monastery winery to the herb garden, from the electricity plant to the educational center, several businesses are united in the monastery.
The Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery in Vahrn/Varna is the largest Monastery complex in Tirol/Tirolo. The Monastery has an holistic conception and was independent and versatile from its very foundation. A walk through the Monastery complex will let you understand its size and importance as a former important cultural and economic hub of the Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley. The first thing that will catch your eye are the architectural elements: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. With the Engelsburg, the late Baroque collegiate church, the Gothic cloister, the miracle fountain, the library’s unique manuscripts and the historic Pinakothek, the Augustinian Neustift Canons Regular Monastery is one of the most remarkable sights of the Eisacktal valley.

Inspired by Mending Pieces by Yoko Ono, this workshop titled Mending Breakfast invites participants to become artistically active during breakfast. On a table, fragments of broken ceramics are laid out, accompanied by simple materials such as adhesive tape, string, and scissors. Participants are invited to “repair” or freely reinvent these fragments to create new objects. In doing so, they become not only co-creators of the artwork but also part of a healing process. The simple act of repairing ceramics becomes a metaphor for the preservation of all things—tangible or abstract, personal or universal. By repairing together, we can experience a form of healing through our attention and awareness.
Coordinator: Karolina Gacke
Date: November 4, 2025, 8:00 – 9:00 AM

The workshop is open to everyone interested. Materials will be provided. Coffee, tea, and pastries will be served during the workshop. At the same time, visitors can enjoy free entry to the exhibition Un-limited World CERAMICS. Suggested contribution: 10 euros
A new perspective on ceramics at the Südtiroler Künstlerbund
With its extensive exhibition ‘Un - limited world CERAMICS’, the Südtiroler Künstlerbund focuses on clay as a material and demonstrates that ceramics are currently in vogue. Curators Eva Gratl, Eleonora Klauser Soldà and Lisa Trockner want to open up a new and conscious perspective on the multifaceted world of ceramics, a material that is receiving increasing attention in contemporary art and is used by renowned artists as a means of expression. The group exhibition reflects the enormous variety of clay as a material: its flexibility, the wealth of creative possibilities it offers, and even the technical limitations it imposes. In an innovative and varied way, the ceramics in this exhibition go far beyond craftsmanship and present themselves as a medium with great expressive potential, capable of unleashing immense creativity. Large sculptures, small objects, bold shapes, wall installations, poetic creations, formless, imaginative and playful works, lively in Baroque style, radically abstract, fragile, poetic – and not just vases and containers: the formal repertoire of the exhibition focuses on the expressive power of “free” ceramics and testifies to the fascination with a material that, thanks to its visual effects, dares to abandon tradition. In total, 20 artistic positions offer a glimpse of what hands can imprint on clay, of the forms that can be preserved.

The exhibition Violent Images examines pressing aspects and implications of the visual representation of violence. Violent images are part of our lives and shape how we perceive the world. They may directly represent violence, or their violent potential may be revealed in connection with their production, dissemination or use. Many questions arise: Where does the violence in and of the image begin? What makes an image violent? Who decides this, and in what context? How do production technologies and distribution channels influence the relationship between image and (the exercise of) violence? And how do artists deal with the issue of violence and the violent potential of image technologies?
The works in the exhibition Violent Images explore subtle rather than explicit forms of visual violence and their contexts, aiming to examine their cultural, social, and political impact. They resist immediate readability and full visibility, avoiding the risk of spectacularizing suffering or marginality. In different ways, they act as a counter-image—intentionally leaving productive gaps in visual narratives. They interrupt the often assumed neutrality of seeing, activating a space for doubt, thought, and the responsibility of looking. All the contributors critically examine both established and emerging visual concepts of violence, suggesting that our engagement with them is inherently political and more pressing than ever.
Talk & Book Launch: 28.10.2025, 6 p.m.
