Ein Hund kam in die Küche by Sepp Mall adapted for the stage by Peter Lorenz "In our family, there were no words for saying goodbye." In 1942, 11-year-old Ludi's family emigrates to Nazi Germany as part of the Option Agreement. Along with Ludi is his younger brother Hanno, who has both physical and mental disabilities. Upon arrival in Innsbruck, Hanno is placed in a care facility. The family continues on to Sonnau in the Reichsgau Upper Danube region. The father is drafted into the Wehrmacht, and the mother longs for their homeland. Ludi makes a new friend, Siegfried, with whom he can talk about things no one else dares to mention. One day, the family receives a letter informing them that Hanno has died of pneumonia. From then on, Hanno appears to Ludi in daydreams, becoming his companion in a time of deep uprooting. Sepp Mall is one of South Tyrol’s most renowned contemporary authors. His novel A Dog Came Into the Kitchen was longlisted for the 2023 German Book Prize. Told from a child’s perspective, Mall explores historical events of war and National Socialism, focusing on themes of homeland, parting, and the search for something new. Director Peter Lorenz brings the story to the stage with sensitivity, blending text, music, and dance. South Tyrolean musician Maria Moling will perform live on stage, together with sound designer Martin Hofstetter, transforming Mall’s language into a captivating sound world.

Forty years after the death of two great figures of world culture, Italo Calvino and Marc Chagall, the Italian Association of Artists of Trento | Bolzano FIDA and the ASSB - Associazione Scrittrici e Scrittori di Bolzano are commemorating the two outstanding artists with an event at the Bolzano City Gallery. The wide-ranging cultural event will showcase works by twenty-nine artists from the Trentino-Alto Adige region as well as writings by the thirteen writers who are members of the ASSB Bolzano. These are free and personal interpretations and inspirations, a tribute to the two unforgotten personalities who are of immeasurable importance in art and literature. The artists and writers explore their significant legacy in order to create a moment of wonder in today's culture - a reflection of a past that is still alive. ‘The Emotions of Artists’ is the title of this ambitious project, which revolves around the deep emotionality masterfully concealed in the paintings and writings of the two great authors. As in the light, fleeting poetry that is always palpable in their imaginative works.

n the villages of Vilpian, Siebeneich and Terlan asparagus has been grown for centuries. Today 15 asparagus growers in Terlan plant approx. 10 ha of high quality asparagus and sell it under the trade mark and hallmark of excellence Margarete. The elegant looking and extremely mild tasting Terlan asparagus is very popular with the connoisseurs of this white spring vegetable. In April and May several restaurants invite visitors to enjoy classic and creative asparagus dishes made with the valuable Margarete asparagus. Fresh asparagus with home-cured ham, boiled potatoes and Bozner sauce is one of the classics. The meal is accompanied by the fine, mineral containing Terlano “asparagus wine” (Sauvignon) from the Terlan winery.

With Exposure Time, the association 00A - Centre for Contemporary Photography presents the second edition of contemporary photography on billboards in the public space of Merano. Exposure Time is more than just a title, it is an open field of questions: How much time do we give to seeing? How much light can memory take? When does visibility begin, and when does it become an imposition? 15 artists explore one of the central elements of photography: exposure time, the interplay of light and time. Their works, spread across 27 large-format billboards in the public space of Merano, form a polyphonic visual essay on light as a medium of perception, as a carrier of memory, as a catalyst for social reflection. The participating artists: Daniela Brugger, Günther Dichgans, Tom Eller, Werner Gasser, Massimo Giovannini, Elisabeth Hölzl, Christian Martinelli, Nicola Morandini, Letizia Molon, Viviana Perghem, Anuschka Prossliner, Marcel Rauschkolb, Andrea Salvà, Karin Schmuck, Stefan Tschurtschenthaler Curated by: Elisabeth Hölzl and Werner Gasser

The exhibition will be open every day, with the possibility of guided tours (10am-12pm and 4pm-7pm) and a total of 35 panels with bilingual texts will be on display. On 8 May, at 5 p.m., it will be inaugurated together with the curators, by the Bishop of Bolzano Bressanone Ivo Muser.

The exhibition Imaginarium, is a fascinating and provocative journey into the heart of contemporary photography, where imagination has no limits and technology becomes a boundless tool for creation. Here, traditional photography is transformed, evolved and reinvented, resulting in works that go beyond simple visual representation to explore new artistic dimensions. Through the integration of artificial intelligence and digital manipulation, artists do not simply capture the world, but deconstruct and reconstruct it, creating parallel universes that challenge our perception of reality.

The special exhibition “Die Hutterer. A Search for Traces in Klausen” is accompanied by the collaborative UNIKA exhibition under the Ladin title “PESC” (meaning PEACE) – an ideal that connects both exhibitions at the Civic Museum Klausen. They are part of the initiatives for the Euregio Museums Year 2025 “weiter sehen,” which, in memory of the Peasants’ War of 1525, addresses contemporary themes. The Hutterites A Search for Traces in Klausen The nearly 500-year history of the Hutterites, who were expelled from Tyrol in the 16th century, is that of a minority that was marginalized and persecuted due to their religious beliefs and communal organization. However, their story is also one of plurality and openness to foreign ideas. The teachings of the Anabaptists found great support in Tyrol, including in Klausen. One of the most significant preachers and religious leaders of the Hutterites, Peter Walpot, was a native of Klausen. At the same time, the Hutterites were subjected to relentless persecution, as evidenced by well-documented cases from Klausen. Jakob Huter, born near St. Lorenzen, took on the leadership of the Anabaptists in Tyrol at an early stage and organized their communal life. In the 16th century, the Anabaptists moved to tolerant Moravia, marking a period of prosperity. From the 17th century onward, they were forced to migrate further until they eventually reached North America. Here, despite facing some crises, they managed to preserve their faith and a well-functioning community to this day. Opening hours: Tues – Sat | 9.30 – 12 a.m., 3.30 – 6 p.m. Closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays

Springtime for your palate When spring arrives, it's time to celebrate. Especially in the valley, where the first harbingers of spring are known to bloom and chirp a little earlier than in the mountains. On the Alto Adige Wine Road, spring is all about wine and culinary delights. From the end of March to June, exquisite wines and tasty treats can be savoured in the villages from Nals/Nalles to Salurn/Salorno and in the wine town of Bolzano - at top-class wine events, culinary highlight events and various gastronomic weeks in selected restaurants.

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)

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.
