Tra visibile ed invisibile

Valeria Ambi

Valeria Ambi, together with Leo Carretti, Federico Grande and Federica Venier, has built a structure of metal pipes arranged in concentric octagons with an increasing radius. On this structure she has stretched out a set of coloured fabrics that recall the daily act of hanging laundry. Visitors can wander through the spaces that are created as a labyrinth, whose boundaries are unstable and dynamic. In this way the artist wants to explore the inconsistency and fugacity of the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, between two worlds, that may seem distant, but actually travel on parallel tracks.

Exhibit place Strada de la Vena

Picolin is located between the old Val Badia road and the "Strada de la Vena", a route used to carry iron from Fursil to Val Badia in late-mediaeval times. Various historical buildings and the chapel dedicated to St Anthony stand as testimony to the importance of the place in terms of its strategic interest to the nobles and clergy. Above all, "Ćiasa dl Maier", once headquarters of the bishop's forge in Alfur, and the Alfur hamlet itself are of great historical interest. The new "Piz de Plaies" cableway base station was built along the road a few years ago, on the section between "Ćiasa dl Maier" and "Alfur".
