Gianni Zotta and Samira Mosca in conversation about analog photography, perspectives, and compositions Photographer Gianni Zotta, a contemporary of Flavio Faganello, worked alongside him. In this talk, Gianni Zotta will discuss the working methods of photographers from the 1960s and the innovations that Flavio Faganello brought to photography at the time. He will also contextualize Faganello’s significance within regional photographic history. Samira Mosca, a young photographer, will offer a contemporary perspective on the historical photographs of Flavio Faganello. She will focus in particular on aspects such as image composition and framing, and will also compare Faganello’s works with those of other well-known photographers. The event Flavio Faganello. Incontri. Begegnungen at Foto Forum Bolzano takes place in conjunction with the exhibition Flavio Faganello – Photographs that Move, which runs until the end of October at the Mercantile Museum Bolzano, Silbergasse 6 / Lauben 39. Opening hours: Monday–Saturday, 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:00.

An exhibition by Eduard Popescu

Curated by Ateirami / Norma Cicala and Lucrezia Di Carne

“A Love Without End” explores the invisibility of those who perform domestic and care work — activities that form the foundation of our societies, yet remain systematically undervalued and overlooked. The exhibition seeks to make these hidden experiences visible and invites reflection on the social, political, and symbolic mechanisms that render such work invisible.

Open until Saturday, October 25

Twenty years after his death, the Office for Film and Media of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the "UMSt – Superintendence for Cultural Heritage and Activities" of the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the "Trento Film Festival" pay tribute to photographer Flavio Faganello with a joint exhibition. Hosted at the Merkantilmuseum in Bolzano, the exhibition features over one hundred of his impressive photographs and highlights the creative and artistic vision of the Trentino photographer, a vision closely linked to the practice of walking. Even in his time, Faganello addressed themes that remain relevant today. His photos invite all lovers of walking, slow and sustainable tourism to rediscover the paths and communities of a bygone world. Faganello’s exceptional archive, now divided between his family, the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, comes together again in this exhibition. The selected photographs document the major ecological and anthropological changes in Trentino and South Tyrol during the years of the economic boom and tourism expansion. The expressive images recall the close connection between the landscapes and the life of mountain farmers, their cultural heritage, and spirituality. Along the old paths with crosses, fences, votive shrines, and dry stone walls, Faganello captures the hard work, coexistence, and special relationship between people and sacred places. He documents rituals, customs, faith, and hopes of the pilgrims. By repeatedly returning to the same places and people, he manages, with his typical ironic style, to highlight the contradictions of the time, also addressing the issue of tourist invasion and environmental risks. In South Tyrol, Faganello is best known for his book The Children of Solitude, in which he photographically documented the life of mountain farmers. Free entrance. Guided group tours (max. 15 people, duration approx. 30 minutes) are available by appointment: - monika.ciardi@provinz.bz.it - Tel. 0471 412915

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 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.

Broomberg & Chanarin, Eva Leitolf, Letizia Nicolini, Sophia Rabbiosi, Viola Silvi Curated by Eva Leitolf and Giulia Cordin In collaboration with unibz, Studio Image, A/POLITICAL, BAW 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. Guided Tour with Eva Leitolf and Giulia Cordin (eds.) 28.10.2025, 5 p.m.

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.

Curated by Frida Carazzato In collaboration with the Fondazione Bonotto and Patrizio Peterlini’s curatorial advice Exhibition and graphic design: SS16 Studio and AndreaTabocchiniArchitecture Press preview: 11.04.2025, 11:00 am Opening: 11.04.2025, 7:00 pm 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.

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.
