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.

Living heritage of the Dolomites The travelling exhibition with 20 impressive panels was designed for the 50th anniversary of the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Park. The open-air exhibition shows pictures of the impressive landscape of the nature park and the diversity of flora and fauna. The exhibition also tells of the beginnings of the mountain refuges and of the people who live and work in the nature park.

The Cultural Council of Appiano presents a new exhibition at the Laechler Gallery in Castelrotto, showcasing the works of Bolzano-based artist Marco Rauzi. The opening will take place on 27 August at 6:00 PM. The exhibition is curated by Jahel Beer within the framework of her cultural project Noi da voi, which aims to foster artistic and cultural exchange both within the province and beyond. A trained graphic designer, Rauzi explores various techniques, with a particular preference for stippling – a contemporary dot technique in which images emerge from countless small points that create tonal depth and shading. This graphic section of the exhibition highlights the artist’s precision, skill, and imagination, through works in ink, pencil, and color. In contrast, the second part of the exhibition surprises with colorful oil and acrylic paintings inspired by India. These works reflect Rauzi’s spiritual journey and convey that India is not merely folklore but a source of universal values and spirituality. The exhibition is enriched with quotations from the Bhagavad Gita, India’s ancient sacred text, and from the Book of Psalms. By intertwining Western and Eastern traditions, graphic rigor and vibrant spirituality, the exhibition invites visitors on a journey through precision, imagination, and inner depth.

On August 22, 1925, Max Glauber founded the company UNDA Radio in Dobbiaco. The anniversary exhibition showcases radio models from various eras and traces the development of the company.

“LATEMAR – Wild Beauty” Multivision presentation by Valentin Pardeller The Latemar is a striking mountain group on the edge of the Dolomites, known for its wild beauty, unique geology, and cultural richness. In this immersive multivision presentation, Valentin Pardeller captures the essence of this remarkable region through powerful imagery. The story begins with the geological origins of the Latemar, once a coral reef, and explores the old mining tunnels that tell of a long-forgotten past. The Latemar's role as a linguistic boundary is highlighted, along with its dramatic rock formations and distinctive alpine flora. The forest of Latemar is presented as a source of fine tonewood for musical instruments. Finally, the legend of the mermaid of Lake Carezza adds a touch of mystery to this breathtaking landscape. The presentation “LATEMAR – Wild Beauty” is held exclusively in German and Italian. In German: 7 July, 21 July, 4 August, 18 August, 1 September, 15 September, 29 September 2025 Bilingual (German & Italian): 21 July, 4 August, 18 August 2025 Duration: approx. 55 minutes (single language) or approx. 65 minutes (bilingual)

In my long career as a fashion photographer, travel has always been a fundamental and exciting part of my work. I’ve worked in many different places—from Peru to Australia, the United States to India—facing challenges like high altitudes, difficult weather conditions, and unusual means of transport. With my team—comprising stylists, models, and assistants—I have always tried to tell stories of fashion through unique landscapes and cities. This exhibition, hosted at the Hans Glauber Library in Toblach, presents a selection of my photographs that not only showcase fashion but also share the adventures I experienced during my travels. I am happy to share my work with the public and hope that the exhibition will entertain and inspire all who visit. — Giovanni Lunardi

The exhibition NATURAL ELEMENTS, taking place from May 31 to October 19, 2025, in Seis am Schlern, presents a selection of works by Ahrntal artist Alois Steger.

Working with multimedia, the artist, together with curator Eva von Ingram Harpf, has selected seven artworks for the village center of this Dolomite village, which integrate symbiotically into the historical setting.

Created from natural elements and materials, the works are designed to gradually change over the course of the exhibition due to weathering.

"Boom '70" takes you back to a time of upheaval and economic growth in South Tyrol during the 1970s and 1980s. Modern travelers now arrive by car, reaching even more remote regions. The number of overnight stays explodes, rising from ten to twenty million – mass tourism is here. In the exhibition, contemporary witnesses share stories of the clash between contrasting worlds: industry meets tourism, poverty meets prosperity, church meets bikini. It’s about first encounters with strangers, new roles for women, and friendships across borders – but also about stress, construction frenzy, and tough working conditions.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Dolomites and experience an unforgettable guided tour of the Nature Park House in San Vigilio. Let yourself be enchanted by the breathtaking landscape, the rich flora and fauna, the mysterious cave world and the exciting stories about the nature park.

This unique exhibition offers a visionary investigation of how travelling might develop and grow in the 21st century and beyond.

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...” Organisation Kulturverein K.art. 15.00-18.00 (free admission) Price: Garden entry

Profanter Immobilien invites you to an exhibition at ArtSpace in Seis, Schlernstraße 16: 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. by arrangement +39 0471 707248 | immobilien@agentur-profanter.com

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.

Participating Artists: Alessandra Carloni – Armin Grunt – Chelita Zuckermann – Hubert Mussner – Ivan Lardschneider – Mario Ricci – Matthias Kostner – Silvia Scaringella – Walter Pancheri "NATURAL-MENTE" emerges from the desire to explore the profound, fragile, and ever-changing relationship between humans and nature. A relationship that is increasingly at the center of contemporary discourse – between environmental crisis and the rediscovery of the organic, between technology and the longing to feel at home somewhere. The exhibition brings together nine contemporary artists – with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and forms of expression – united by a common intention: to offer a personal and poetic vision of our connection to the natural world through sculpture and painting. Two artistic souls engage in dialogue within the exhibition: On the one hand, sculpture, linked to Val Gardena’s tradition of woodcarving, capable of translating human experience and the yearning for nature into form; On the other hand, painting, rooted in various Italian regions, which explores inner landscapes, symbolic metamorphoses, and dreamlike visions. Many of the artworks are site-specific and interweave in a dialogue between material and imagination, memory and transformation. The result is an immersive journey that offers no definitive answers but instead poses questions: What place does humanity hold in nature? And what place does nature hold within us? OPENING HOURS: Every day from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays also from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Closed on Mondays.

With Graffiti, Museion presents the first institutional exhibition in Italy to focus on the relationship between graffiti and contemporary fine art, and how they have influenced each other. Instead of historicizing graffiti as an “outsider” practice, the show combines works by renowned artists who used spray paint between the 1950s and 1970s, paintings by legendary graffiti writers from the 1980s, and a wide range of exhibits by international contemporary artists who have incorporated graffiti into their work for various reasons and in multiple forms. Graffiti also introduces a new long-term Museion research line focusing on soft and non-violent forms of resistance, and on art as a social and urban practice.

Jacopo Benassi MAKE WAR NO LOVE Make war. Don't make love. Break. Destroy. Hate. Sweetness is useless. The flowers are on strike and the skies are brown. There are no photos—without images, perhaps we will return to thinking! Even love. Performance: They're not bombs! It's just a drum kit! Michele Lombardelli and Jacopo Benassi have been collaborating for several years, bringing sound into the image through the audience. Alessandro Di Giampietro ECHOS FOR A FORGOTTEN SELF Alessandro Di Giampietro (Pescara, 1972), whose research stems from the observation of human identity understood as a set of layers that create iconic behavioral models in today's society. The installation provides an overview starting from a selection of ‘chewed’ Polaroids (2009/2011). These are portraits of figures from the world of contemporary art whose identity changes according to the artist's interventions, which involve tearing and stitching the images. The theme of identity shift is found in “Chewed Plastic” (2022-2025) made of transparent PVC, painted on the back, cut and reassembled with metal staples. Here, the archetypal masks, as in the case of the Rivelate, become stereotypes: they allude to facial plastic surgery, they have scars, they show wounds that have never healed linked to the non-acceptance of identity, they are characterized by a chromatic saturation that corresponds to an expansion of the ego in the current domain of appearance. The installation concludes with a series of documentary videos of performances, where masking becomes liberating. (from: Whatever you think I’m that’s what I am not. 2014/2019).

With the photo series “Existential Dualism”, Bolzano-based artist Elisa Cappellari explores the presence of animals in urban spaces and the subtle boundary between nature and society, between the wild and the domesticated. The 14 photographs, taken between 2019 and 2023 in Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, and Slovakia, portray animals — such as giraffes, dogs, snakes, or cattle — in everyday, human-shaped environments: streets, zoos, museums, stables, or shops. The images speak of relationships marked by proximity and distance, dependence and power, inviting viewers to reflect on how animals are perceived in contemporary society — as living beings, but also as symbols, ornaments, or tools. Completing the exhibition are five poetic texts that delicately explore the relationship between animal, space, and observer. “I photograph animals that live alongside us. I’m interested in what happens when one living being encounters another — maybe something is born that goes beyond the image,” says Elisa Cappellari. The artist was selected as one of the four winners of the 2024 Open Call launched by the museum, focused on the relationship between humans, animals, and nature. The exhibition is included in the museum admission ticket and can be visited between the first and second floors.
