Conor McNally — SMACH. Constellation of Art, Culture and History in the Dolomites. Land Art in Val Badia.

CONOR MCNALLY, “CIASA”.
Bray, Ireland.

Location Pra de Pütia, Antermëia.

A search for formal effectiveness by reducing the structure of a traditional house to its most elementary and simplified form: this is how the artist sketches the idea of a delimited space to imbue the hiker with feelings of security that infuse the solid walls of a home. A bench in the middle of the room invites you to stop, to rest. 
Once inside, human presence seems fragile and in need of being looked after. One realises that to evoke sensations of comfort, a slender and linear architecture is enough to incubate of our perception of Heimat. In this "home" we find a visual, tactile and auditory pacification that transforms emptiness into emotion.

EXHIBIT PLACE
The meadows at the foot of the Sas de Pütia and the Maier landslide, Antermëia – The „Prà de Pütia“, located to the north of the Sas de Pütia, provide a magnificent view of the Dolomites. The vast meadows which flank the mountain are used to graze cattle and for haymaking. The “Roa dl Maier” is a place between Börz and Saspütia, where visitors can admire some of the most beautiful and important geological formations of the Dolomites.
