ANDREA SALVETTI
“Corno”

I thought that art should be erected in nature with the same pose and determination of local animals and people. At that moment I saw a (...) horn, symbol of strength and pride, a weapon for the conquest or defense, which represents the desire to look beyond the sky. The horn is made of aluminum cable, about 11 m high, with a diameter of 90 cm at the base.

I à ponsè che l’ert messass se erje sö tla natöra cun le medemo portamënt y la medema sügherté di tiers y dla jënt dl post. I à spo odü n (...) corn, simbol de forza y boria, n’erma por la concuista o por la defenjiun, che respidlëia le dejider da ćiarè sura l’odüda fora. Le corn é de aluminium, doi, alt za. 11 m, y à al basamënt n diameter de 90 cm.

Ho pensato che l' arte dovesse erigersi in natura con la stessa posa e determinazione degli animali e della gente del posto. Ho visto allora un (…) corno, simbolo di forza e orgoglio, un’arma per la conquista o per difesa, che raffigura il desiderio di alzare lo sguardo oltre il cielo. Il corno è in alluminio, cavo, alto circa 11 m, con un diametro di 90 cm alla base.

Ich überlegte, dass die Kunst sich in freier Natur mit der gleichen Haltung und Entschlossenheit der Tiere und der Menschen in diesen Bergtälern erheben sollte. Dann sah ich (…) ein Horn, Inbegriff von Kraft und Stolz, Attribut für Eroberung und Gewährung der eigenen Sicherheit, das den Wunsch äußert den Blick über die Landschaft hinweg zu erheben.

EXHIBIT SPACE
Picolin, the "Strada de la Vena" road and the old bishop's forge in Alfur - Picolin is located on the old Val Badia road and on 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. SMACH's interest focuses on its logistically unique geographical location and on the function the place served in the past. Above all, "Ćiasa dl Maier", once headquarters of the bishop's forge in Alfur, and the Alfur hamlet itself deserve to be taken into consideration. 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".
