The French anthropologist Marc Augé, member of the Jury of Twocalls, came to visit the Vajont area, to explore the Contest‘s project sites and to learn more about Dolomiti Contemporanee‘s activities.
He brought his reflections about the Vajont Tragedy and the meaning of a contemporary art Contest here nowadays.
As he said: A thing is to commemorate, another is to remember, still another is to create once again. What is art if not a symbol of life?
Here a videointerview with english subitles.

Ha proposto le sue riflessioni sulla Tragedia del vajont e sul significato di un concorso d’arte contemporanea in questo luogo oggi.
Come ha detto: Una cosa è commemorare, un’altra è ricordare, un’altra ancora è creare di nuovo. Che cos’è l’arte se non un simbolo di vita?

The Two Calls for Vajont Contest was launched by Dolomiti Contemporanee last June.
Its intent was to propose a restoring cultural reflection for the Vajont area, to this day profoundly marked by the history of the tragedy.
Two artworks to be made through the Contest, one on the Vajont Dam (line), the other on the southern façade of the Spazio di Casso (wall), which faces the scar left by the landslide of Mt.
