Wood: a key resource for south tyrol
In this northern Italian region, wood is a vital resource that brings together tradition, the economy and environmental protection. The short and sustainable supply chain is worth €1.3 billion and involves thousands of local companies.
On the three floors of the MMK, the artists present their works in various media: painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and performance. In some cases the otherworldly realms are visualized as godless places brought to life by the power of the imagination; in other works they are associated with ideas of divinity, hope or loss.
In the tenth canto of Paradise, Dante reflects on the unutterable and nameless primal force that created everything and exceeds the realm of humanity. This is where the artists take their point of departure in employing their artistic language creatively to formulate and convey unspeakable ideas.
