First
prize
Loris Burger (San
Candido-Innichen)
LandArt becomes especially strong, when you get the
feeling that it has always been there, and at the same time it creates some
irritation. That happened with Loris Burger’s work, only later, at a second
glance you realize that something has changed in the surroundings that adds
something, somehow enchanting to the entire picture. The work itself is plain
and simple, a dab of paint, a minimal intervention with a great effect.
Second prize
Annemarie Mittich (Dobbiaco-Toblach)
The circular area has been worked out very neatly and
awakens associations about a button or a lid in a lunar landscape that the
observer would like to lift in order to explore the mystery that lies below.
The vastness conveyed by the picture has a very suggestive effect on the
observer.
Third prize
Kristin Nöckler
(Falzes-Pfalzen)
The artist was courageous enough to take such a worn
motif, that of the Three Peaks, and to undermine it in a very simple way. The
different sharpness levels of the photograph create a harmonious picture.
Nominations:
Katrin Kasseroler (Bressanone-Brixen)
The LandArt object has the effect of an abstract
painting within the landscape and undermines the fact that by elimination and
purification something has actually been added to the piece of art.
Sofia and Helena Ploner (S. Pancrazio-St.Pankraz)
The flying dinosaurs (bird) is funny and
contradictory, as clay as a material actually represses the light and wing-like
motif.
Flaviana Pandolfi (Rome)
The art work looks like a shower of cones, a veil. Hikers
have to get closer in order to understand why the cones are floating in the
air.
Carolina Leiter (Campo Tures-Sand in
Taufers)
The branches laid horizontally create interesting gaps
and highlight the shape of the tree.
Elisabeth Mair (Brunico-Bruneck)
The idea of the art competition has been very well
interpreted – and in a minimal way – based on the connection of the lamellae of
the cones and the rock.
Ulrike Lehmann (Dobbiaco-Toblach)
The art work appears like a musical instrument made of
roots for fabulous characters.
Hildegard
Mutschlechner (Bolzano-Bozen)
The picture shows an interesting perspective and
refers to barriers and passageways at the same time.
At the opening of
the DolomitArt exhibition on October 10th, the senior director for
German culture Armin Gatterer, the mountaineer and philosopher Hanspeter
Eisendle and BM Guido Bocher held their welcome speech. Andreas Walder,
president of the education committee, was the moderator of the event and
emphasised the strong connection of nature & art and Hans Glauber, who
himself protected the former and created the latter. The connection of nature
& art was expressed by the LandArt object, too – a Scyamore seed – which
was set up in the course of the project on the terrace of the library. Roberta
Rio’s dancing performance imitated the graceful character of the Scyamore seed.
After the performance the winners of the LandArt photo competition were
awarded. Loris Burger from San Candido-Innichen won the first prize: a balloon
tour and a dinner for two. Another 9 prizes were awarded.
The exhibition will
be open until December 3rd 2015 in the premises of the library, and then
presented in the shops of Dobbiaco-Toblach. Ultimately the exhibition will end
up at the Three Peaks nature park at the beginning of
2016.
