The first phase of the twocalls contest is coming to its end. It only will be possible to send projects for a call for a wall and a call for a line until April the 30th.
Twocalls is a contest of ideas that, through artistic projects, increases the amount of active and projective reflection on the critical Vajont area. The public display and sharing of the ideas/projects is one of the focal points of this reasoning on the contemporary landscape, or crisis landscape, landscape of the living human being.
The artists who have already sent us their project have understood the importance of inserting their contribution inside a collective, participant reasoning, which has as its goal in the rethinking of the landscape itself.
During the month of April it’s going to be possible to take part in the last few surveys in the Vajont area, which are beneficial for a deeper comprehension of the environmental, landscape-related, human, cultural and historic contexts, in prospect of the realisation of one’s own project for twocalls.
The next available dates to visit the crowning of the dam are:
Sunday, April the 5th 2015
Monday, April the 6th 2015
Saturday, April the 25th 2015
Sunday, April the 26th 2015
The visits begin at 10:00 am, and then every half hour. The last visit begins at 5:00 pm.
The visits to the crowning are possible thanks to the collaboration of the Friulan Dolomites Natural Park.
To book a visit, it is necessary to get in touch with our staff in advance at: info@twocalls.net

la prima fase del concorso twocalls volge al termine. sarà possibile inviare il proprio progetto per a call for a wall e per a call for a line solo fino al 30 aprile.
twocalls è un concorso di idee che, attraverso i progetti artistici, incrementa una riflessione attiva e proiettiva sull’area critica del vajont. la pubblicazione e condivisione delle idee-progetto, è uno dei fulcri di questo ragionamento sul paesaggio contemporaneo, paesaggio della crisi, paesaggio dell’uomo vivo.
gli artisti che hanno già inviato il proprio progetto hanno colto l’importanza di inserire il proprio contributo all’interno di un ragionamento collettivo, partecipato, che intende ripensare il paesaggio.
nel mese di aprile sarà possibile effettuare gli ultimi sopralluoghi nell’area del vajont, utili a comprenderne a fondo il contesto ambientale, paesaggistico, umano, culturale e storico, in vista della realizzazione del proprio progetto per twocalls.

On April the 30th the first phase of the International Artistic Contest Two Calls for Vajont, launched in June 2014 by Dolomiti Contemporanee drew to a close.
The Contest was conceived as an open platform of reflection on the territory of the Vajont and on its terrible history (October the 9th 1963), and as an opportunity to rethink, through the production of a series of renovating images, the landscape and some of the main symbols of that history today, transforming them from still objects-memories of the tragedy into active and shared “construction sites” of the mind and spirit.
