Kunst am Keschtnweg 2022
…to the 4th International Wood Sculptor Symposium "Kunst am Keschtnweg 2022" from May 18 - May 21, 2022
The tourist association Klausen, Barbian, Feldthurns and Villanders invites sculptors from all over the world to take part in the sculpture symposium "Kunst am Keschtnweg", which is taking place this year in the artists' town of Klausen.
Relax on art is the motto of this year's symposium. The artists are not given a specific theme, all possible forms of expression are welcome, figurativ - abstract, practical - conceptual, from one block - multi-part. The only requirement is that the sculptures can be used as places to sit or lie down.
Robust chestnut wood is the material the artists will get to create their artwork. The sweet chestnut characterizes the cultural landscape in this region of the Valley Eisacktal. The sculptures created during the symposia become property of the organizer and will be set up along the chestnut trail, which connects the communities of Feldthurns via Klausen, Villanders and Barbian. The result is an open-air gallery that can be explored by hikers and invites them to rest and linger. The art thus becomes accessible and comprehensible.
Each participant receives a fee of €600. Free board and lodging as well as a flat-rate travel allowance will be reimbursed.
Work will take place outdoors in the Kapuzinergarten in the center of Klausen from Wednesday 18th to Saturday 21st May 2022. On Saturday evening there will be a vernissage where the works of art will be presented with drinks and musical accompaniment.
