Come back to Kunst Grenzen Gallery the food and wine biennial of the Arts around the ancient Via Claudia Augusta: “SaturnArs” with an exhibition of modern and contemporary art of painting, sculpture, graphics and photography, which will be staged from 12 to 30 October 2024 in Rovere della Luna.
The SATURNARS project proposes, together with a specially created staff and every two years, events between wine cellars, artistic exchanges, twinning and more, allowing a continuous and increasingly dense direct exchange between the various realities on a mountain and pre-mountain artery like the one represented by the Via Claudia Augusta which unites the city of Augsburg in Germany, passing through Austria and the Resia pass, up to Altino on one side and Ostiglia on the other.
After the harvests, artists and wine cellars will meet in an exhibition which will display both the paintings, sculpture, photography and prints, as well as the respective graphics printed on artist labels which will represent the best vintage wines made available by the participating wineries.
Also for the 2024 SaturnArs edition, the Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontier aps Association asks each participating artist, through their own sensitivity and art, to interpret a wine chosen from the white wines, red wines and sparkling wines present at the event and which will be attributed to each artist randomly by the Kunst Grenzen Directorate.
The objective is to bring together two different Arts that represent territorial excellence and make them known to the general public through the exhibition and the Recognition of Merit that the wine commission of selected specialized sommeliers, the Kunst Grenzen artistic commission and the popular vote in presence will decide by vote.
