The asso­cia­ti­on “Che­sas da cul­tu­ra Engi­a­di­na” is orga­ni­zing a joint exhi­bi­ti­on from May 2024 to April 2025, fea­turing 14 cul­tu­ral insti­tu­ti­ons (muse­ums, artists’ stu­di­os, libra­ri­es and archi­ves) from the Upper Enga­di­ne. The over­ar­ching the­me, “Sple­ndur e sum­bri­va – Light and Shadow in the Enga­di­ne”, will be inter­pre­ted and pre­sen­ted dif­fer­ent­ly in each of the indi­vi­du­al insti­tu­ti­ons, depen­ding on their focus.

The sum­mer exhi­bi­ti­on at the Segan­ti­ni Muse­um (20.5.–20.10.2024) focu­sed on a group of litt­le-known ear­ly works by Segan­ti­ni, crea­ted from 1879 to 1881, in which the artist pro­ved to be a bold expe­ri­men­ter in his search for most­ly astoun­ding light effects, achie­ved pri­ma­ri­ly through stron­gly accen­tua­ted light-dark contrasts.

In kee­ping with the sea­son, the win­ter exhi­bi­ti­on focu­ses on snow, a motif that has inspi­red pain­ters sin­ce time immemorial.
