"Laudamus Te" - Church concert by the Luttach music band and "Unkwown Brass" in the parish church of St. Johann. Admission: voluntary donation.

On Sunday, November 17th, a special highlight awaits you: The album debut and concert of the talented singer-songwriter Christa Plank at the Minnehus. From 6:00 PM, you can immerse yourself in Christa's wonderful melodies and lyrics, which will enchant the audience with her unique voice and touching songs. After the concert, you have the opportunity to visit the exhibition in the museum and end the evening in a cultural atmosphere. Look forward to an unforgettable evening full of music and art!

The two-part special exhibition shows a representative overview of Robert Pan's oeuvre, while other works by the artist are integrated into the permanent exhibition in the historic building, creating an exciting dialogue with the Baroque furnishings of the imperial and episcopal appartments. This unusual combination opens up a dialogue across epochs: Pan's experimental abstract compositions, which focus on forms, colours and structures, interact with the strongly symbolic works of the Baroque masters. The exhibition thus not only offers the opportunity to trace Robert Pan's artistic development, but also invites visitors to experience the visually appealing contrast between different forms of artistic expression.

Trương Công Tùng The Disoriented Garden… A Breath of Dream Exhibition Location: Museion -1 Opening 07.11.2024 at 7 pm The committee annually provides a Southeast Asian artist with 15,000 US dollars to fund the production of a new video work, which will be screened at all the participating institutions. In 2024 the winning video The Disoriented Garden… A Breath of Dream by Trương Công Tùng will be screened at Museion -1 and donated to the collection of the museum. As a result of a public-private partnership, this acquisition expands the video art section and enhances the international artistic dialogue with the southeastern territory of Asia, underlining the importance of video storytelling for the collection of Museion.

Known for his spectacular aerial photographs of western Switzerland taken from a small aeroplane, Ackermann has also created a special photographic monument to the Dolomites. These works have already been shown in illustrated books, in an exhibition at the LUMEN - Museum for Mountain Photography on the Kronplatz in Bruneck, as well as in numerous magazines, portfolios and photo books. Now a ‘Best of’ exhibition by Ulrich Ackermann, member of the Royal Photographic Society in London, will be on show at the South Tyrol Museum of Nature.

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.

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.

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.

In the writings and visions of Hildegard of Bingen, Bonn artist Marianne Pitzen discovered that Hildegard saw a female image of God in the figure of wisdom, Sophia. On display are three-dimensional installations and replicas by artist and founder of the Frauenmuseum Bonn Marianne Pitzen. These are replicas of artistic works from the convent workshops, of which only a few copies remained after a fire, and writings on natural history and medicine with photographs by Marlies Obier from Siegen, who studied German, theology and history.

STAZIONE UNO GALLERY, an exhibition space located in the heart of Bolzano, is composed of spaces totaling over 300 square meters,divided over 2 floors and 3 rooms. The creator, Johann Kosjek, assisted by the Mediamacs Design team responsible for the exhibitiongraphics, aims to fill the gallery with special exhibitions for a period of two years. Stazione Uno now presents its latest creation, LIVINGBIOGRAPHIES, which, as the name suggests, tells the life stories of everyday people. At the center of the exhibition are the personalitiesof the individual exhibitors: their families, their histories, their life paths, their dreams, and finally their "diagnosis." With a commonthread: the participants in the exhibition are always connected to their destiny and not to the successes of an overly satisfying life. Stazione Uno comes to life through its participants. A team that could not be more diverse: people with and without disabilities, peoplewith and without "diagnoses," people even with 100% disability, gathered in what we have chosen to call the DOWN ART COLLECTION.People who have something to say and tell their unusual life stories, facing them positively, and constituting the so-called primary targetgroup of our exhibition work.

Guest showcase by Lisa Settari. In this exhibition, Lisa Settari offers insights into her master's thesis on the coming-out narratives of women who love women in South Tyrol's recent history. The work is based on twenty oral history interviews that Lisa Settari was allowed to conduct with ten women-loving women. Thanks to these oral sources and a focus on women's, gender and queer history, the existing historiography of South Tyrol can be both enriched and critically scrutinised. Lisa Settari: born 1994 in Merano, Bachelor in Political Science, Master in European Women's and Gender History, currently lecturer at the ‘Alexandru Ioan Cuza’ University in Iași (Romania).

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.

The sky has always been picturesque in its colour gradations and atmospheric moods, more recently also through auroras in our latitudes. But it is also marked by human existence: Air traffic, climate change, horizon-marking interventions in nature. And it symbolises something greater than man.

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.

Ultimately - where the many philosophical questions of our existence remain unanswered, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe already said: ‘The inscrutable in devout contemplation’. Markus Damini Born in Bolzano in 1955. Attended the State Academy of Art in Trento. In the 1970s, further training in the craft of leather and its surface design. He became involved with the punching and colouring of leather and the creation of images on leather. This is followed by various artistic further training at home and abroad. The ‘repertoire d'oeuvres’, which in the broadest sense polarity (as energy) in the broadest sense, also includes other techniques and materials, such as beeswax and linoleum. and linoleum. Exhibitions since 1993 at home and abroad. Markus Damini lives and works as a freelance artist in artist in Brixen.

Today’s wars are wars of images. Visuals of military tactics, war crimes, and destruction fill our daily lives, but they are more than just reports. They compete in the information battlefield. Violent imagery has always driven the media, but with 24/7 news and social media, global audiences are constantly exposed to conflict images. News are commercialized, footage is edited like action films cutting out normal life to keep viewers hooked. In a body of works created within the last decade, Mykola Ridnyi explores how to discuss violence without perpetuating it, by using metaphors of blindness to highlight society’s dehumanization amidst sensational news and challenges of war. Since 2014 the artist has dealt with Russian war against Ukraine, its transformations and its perception in the world on its way from a hybrid conflict to the full-scale invasion. curated by Sabine Gamper

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.

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.
