Nature changes. Continuously. Globally and in detail. From one season to the next. Over the course of centuries. Lately observable with the naked eye. Even artist Nora Gutwenger, who recently returned from Vienna to live in the Pustertal valley, realized this. Instead of the wooded slopes she was used to, she is now surrounded by bare slopes. Who changed nature? The bark beetle? Or is man at the origin of this change? What characterizes an almost natural forest? In Angelika Wischermann's works, it is the artist herself who changes nature. Unlike most human interventions, however, the artist proceeds very carefully. She observes the branching network of paths of a forest ant colony for a long time before doing small works with her infrastructure project to make life easier for the insects. In the exhibition space, artistic research processes can be experienced through drawings, textile works and a video. You are also cordially invited to explore the theme in a reading corner.

The fossil museum is designed as an outdoor museum and is accessible to interested visitors at any time and explains itself by means of texts and audio stations. A guided tour for a group of the museum with one of our local experts is highly recommended. Booking is possible by means of direct requests to the tourist office: info@moelten.net It is now a long time – 260 million years – since trees resembling today’s araucaria grew in Mölten/Meltina. The ginkgos produced feathery leaves, while tree-high horsetails stood between the village of Mölten/Meltina and the Möltner Kaser hut. It is astonishing that clearly identifiable forms of these South Tyrolean primeval forests remain: trees fell into the riverbank or were carried along by the current, embedded in sand and finally transformed into fossils. They can now be seen in the Fossil Museum, which was revitalised in 2023 and designed as an outdoor exhibition. It shows the best of the finds from the area around Mölten/Meltina. Particularly noteworthy are the fossil tree and plant remains, some 260 million years old, as well as the footprints of a small reptile. What is special about the fossils in Mölten/Meltina? There are only three places in South Tyrol where plant fossils from the Late Permian have been recovered: the Bletterbach Gorge; Seceda; and Mölten/Meltina. The finds from Mölten/Meltina are the only ones that reveal entire trees. Details of their growth, their branches, roots and size are all clearly visible, which makes it possible to reconstruct entire forests. The Fossil Museum has a fully equipped multifunctional room that can be hired for events for up to 30 people.

Bolzano. The Centro Trevi-Trevilab offers a truly extraordinary opportunity to get closer to the fascinating, and in some ways still mysterious, Etruscan culture. It does so with the exhibition 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen', promoted by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Italian Culture, thanks to the collaboration of the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, directed by Luana Toniolo, a museum that preserves the most important collection of Etruscan finds in the world. The exhibition, curated by Valentina Belfiore and Maria Paola Guidobaldi of the museum's curatorial team, is part of the second stage of the 'Stories of Art with Great Museums' event, a multi-year journey aimed at discovering the great ancient and modern civilisations, 'another fundamental step towards learning about our past with the aim of keeping interest in culture and the rich artistic heritage preserved in Italy's great museums alive,' emphasised Marco Galateo, Vice President of the Province and Councillor for Italian Culture. The title 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen' already introduces the particular slant of the Bolzano exhibition: it is not a generic exhibition on the Etruscans, but focuses on a specific aspect of their great civilisation, that of artistic and craft production.

Photographs by Paola Marcello curated by Luca Chistè. ‘Whenever a woman fights for herself, she fights for all women’, Maya Angelou. The project, proposed by the Passirio Merano association and the city of Merano in collaboration with the Merano Women's Museum, shows a selection of photographs, printed using fine art techniques, taken during a long journey by the author through seven Asian countries (Thailand, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran) with the declared aim of documenting the situation of women.

Ar/Ge Kunst presents À JOUR, the first institutional exhibition of the work of Clemen Parrocchetti (Milan 1923–2016). A rebellious and non-conformist artist, Clemen Parrocchetti experienced the events of 1968 as a watershed moment of radical creative and political transformation. It was in those years of feminist struggle that the artist adopted the tools and methods of housework to take a political stance on the issues most hotly debated on a theoretical level within the movement, such as the subordinate role of women, abortion and divorce as elements of emancipation, domestic violence and sexual liberation. The peculiarity of domestic chores in Parrocchetti’s works reflects the artist’s closeness to the International Feminist Collective founded in Padua by theorists such as Silvia Federici, Mariarosa Dalla Costa and Leopoldina Fortunati. Among its many political actions, the Collective instituted the International Wages for Housework Campaign. This latter theme was also central to the Varese-based Gruppo Immagine featuring women artists only (Cibaldi, Gandini, Parrocchetti, Secol and Sironi), which Parrocchetti joined in ’78 and with which she would take part in the Venice Biennale that same year. The exhibition focuses largely on Parrocchetti’s works form the 1970s. À jour, the work which provides the title for the show, exploits the various meanings of the term in French, referencing the embroidery technique performed by extracting threads from the weft of a fabric in such a way as to create a slight transparency, also known as openwork stitching in English. Yet mettre à jour also means to make something manifest; in this case, what is brought to light is the very condition of women in their struggle against patriarchal subordination. But à jour is also used in the sense of the repetitiveness of female household chores, highlighting the barriers that the female artist must overcome day after day. Clemen Parrocchetti (1923–2016) lived and worked in Milan. After gaining a diploma from the Brera Academy in 1957, she held more than fifty solo shows in Italy and abroad, developing original research with its own strong character, embracing the spirit of the protests of ’68 and founding a feminist language “expressed through objects”, in line with the political outlook of the revendication of the unpaid work of production and reproduction carried out by women, close to the Movement of Feminist Struggle based in Padua.

The past and present fuse together in Mika Sperling’s I Have Done Nothing Wrong, creating space for complex emotions otherwise relegated to the private realm. Shame, anger, guilt, and conversations around sexual abuse are unapologetically expressed through archival images, drawings, photographs, and a theatrical play in this body of work. Curated by Sabine Gamper

Ernst Müller, born and raised in Vinschgau, draws his artistic inspiration from deep-rooted childhood memories. The self-taught artist and trained coachbuilder began painting at the age of thirteen and over the decades has developed into an important chronicler of the South Tyrolean cultural landscape. Influenced by the precise observation of classical masters such as Albin Egger Lienz, Toulouse-Lautrec and Claude Monet, Müller initially created scenes of everyday rural life, later devoting himself mainly to picturesque farmsteads and landscapes, which are now considered his trademark. The nostalgia that has accompanied the artist since childhood is omnipresent in his oil paintings. The artist captures the magic of the South Tyrolean mountains with vibrant colours and impasto structures that transport the viewer to a world of the past. Many of the farms he portrays no longer exist, which gives his paintings not only artistic but also documentary value.

The title AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS is borrowed from the writing of Virginia Woolf, in which human life unfolds as a testament to its fluidity, brimming with potential and uncertainty. Her characters delicately hover between presence and impending absence, grappling with the memory of events and conflicts that prove elusive to full comprehension. The title therefore hints at the various thresholds between remembering and forgetting and the recurring acts of opening and closing doors on the continuous human journey of becoming. As such, the exhibition traces the intimate connections between life itself and the stories we tell, between what was and what remains physically perceptible. Above all, it highlights the collectors’ understanding of the transformative power of art by providing profound insights into life’s fluidity. The works selected for AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS encourage viewers to ponder the transitional spaces of contemporary existence, where socio-political tensions intertwine with artistic expression. Throughout their artistic and sometimes activist work, artists such as Lisetta Carmi, Nan Goldin, and Zoe Leonard have emphasized the fluid nature of identity by regarding bodies as open systems in a permanent exchange with the environment. The works of Giulia Cenci, Jef Geys, Roman Ondak, Tarik Kiswanson and Bronwyn Katz are just a few examples of how doors, and windows recur in the exhibition as potent motifs that frame the human body as well as marking transitions and thresholds. Objects from daily life, urban architecture, and public décor – like Alex Ayed’s sculptures or Michael E. Smith or Massimo Bartolini’s installations – are relocated and reframed by the artists to compose new narratives and weave unexpected connections between geographies and memories. Curated by Museion director Bart van der Heide, Frida Carazzato, Brita Köhler, and Leonie Radine, in collaboration with the collector Lorenzo Paini, the exhibition showcases a significant part of the Enea Righi Collection. Over the years, this collection has not only followed the artistic evolution of renowned conceptual positions, it has also embraced and supported a younger generation of artists. Another defining characteristic of the collection is its affinity for works of an institutional scale.

Snow does not always appear pure white, at least not to the attentive gaze of two painters like Alfons Walde or Max von Esterle. In his paintings, von Esterle poetically celebrates the magic of snow, while Walde - a little later - does so with concise expressiveness. This is the first time that these two important painters appear together in an exhibition. Alongside theirs, there are also snow-covered landscapes by other contemporary Italian and Austrian artists. All of these paintings create a variegated fabric that, unravelling, creates an unmissable spectacle. In the exhibition, of course, exponents of the art of our time with their abstract compositions or thought-provoking installations have not been left out. At the conclusion of the exhibition, in fact, at a time of climate change, a question about the ‘future of snow’ could not be left out: how much longer will we be able to enjoy this spectacle? Entry: adults € 6.00; reduced € 5.00 for seniors; free entry for children and teens under the age of 18. Combi ticket Palais Mamming Museum and Castle Principesco € 8.00.

A photo exhibition of thoughts and emotions. My name is Gabriel Colombani, and I am deeply passionate about art and people. The idea for this exhibition arose from a desire to express myself through photography, an art form I used to view as somewhat dry and self-contained. My perspective shifted when I had the opportunity to create this exhibition, inspired by a photo book I previously designed, which also lends its name to the show: “A me, a voi” ("To Me, To You“). This book is like a visual diary of my experiences, where each photo is connected to a significant person or moment. We humans are made up of countless facets, and few things are more meaningful than witnessing the reaction of someone seeing an image dedicated to them—whether beautiful or challenging. We invite you to visit the exhibition: Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday and holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The schedule may be subject to changes. Free entry. During the event photos or video footage may be taken for the purpose of documentation and promotion of the event and the region. The footage may be used and published on websites, on social networks and on media in compliance with the data protection regulations.

Many areas of the Dolomites are in the process of setting up projects to enhance the historical testimony of the Great War. Sesto di Pusteria was both victim and protagonist of this tragedy. Sesto di Pusteria is the only place of Germanic language and culture belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to find itself at the front line, undergoing forced evacuation and displacement, and then, together with other places of the South Tyrol, being annexed to Italy. This chance set of events makes Sesto an emblematic place to tell the history of this period, not only for the Tyrolean citizens of today but for all the inhabitants of Europe. The vicissitudes of the civilian population and of the soldiers during this extremely important moment in history have so far surprisingly been neglected, undoubtedly because of the upheaval following the end of the war and annexation to Italy. Given the considerable interest in the First World War that is now emerging in Europe, Sesto has unique and inestimable contribution to make. The Associazione Bellum Aquilarum (Bellum Aquilarum historical association) aims to save from oblivion the surviving testimony to this tragedy in order to preserve it so that it can be handed down to future generations, not only to the young people of Pusteria, but also to those living in places once belonging to the former Austro-Hungarian Empire that were the scenes of battle here. The tragedy experienced so deeply at Sesto and in Pusteria is askin to that of many other areas of Europe which were on the front line or which, after the war, witnessed the havoc brougth on by territorial annexation. The ensuing cultural, historical and political schism was immense; without doubt, these events changed Pusteria but also Europe itself, and today - in a European perspective enabling the age-old tensions issuing from the war to be overcome - preserving these memories can aid us in the construction of our common future.

Painting on metal foils in Stabler's Staircase Gallery in Oberbozen, Alter Mühlweg 28. Open daily, except Sunday & Holiday. Info tel. +39 0471 345480. 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)

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.

We are meeting for a life drawing session with a model. Please bring your own materials. Fee: 15.00€.

Eye contact with wild animals in the vast savannahs and forests of Africa, creating a deep bond between humans and animals. From 15 January, the Nature Museum will be showing images of this in an exhibition by Bolzano photographer Christian Passeri. Christian Passeri, who comes from Bolzano, lives in Berlin and works as a camera assistant for international film productions. He was inspired by the documentary films of the British wildlife filmmaker, naturalist and writer David Frederick Attenborough, who became famous for his award-winning nature documentaries for the BBC. Passeri has also dedicated himself to nature photography and documents the diversity of nature and its inhabitants with his camera. The exhibition is entitled ‘Contact’ - a term that captures the essence of Passeri's work: On his travels, especially through the unspoilt landscapes of Africa, he experiences fleeting but intense moments of eye contact with wild animals. These moments create a deep connection between man and animal that is emotional, moving and complex. Passeri endeavours to capture these special moments in his pictures and share them with his audience. The exhibition takes you on a journey to the origins of mankind and the magic of the wilderness. From the vastness of the savannah to the dense forests of Africa, Passeri shows the fragile yet majestic beauty of the blue planet. The exhibition will open on Wednesday, 15 January at 18:30 in the South Tyrol Museum of Nature and will run until the end of March. Free entrance.

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
