On Saturday July the 11th, the fifth season of Dolomiti Contemporanee (DC) will be launched: TERRAFORMAZIONE will begin.
The official Press Conference, open to the public, will take place inside the Eni Village of Borca di Cadore, important “constriction site” for DC ever since last year, when the Progettoborca platform was introduced. The Village (Colonia, new Progettoborca offices, Our Lady of the Cadore Church) will be open to the public.
At 2 PM, the journalists and public will be welcomed in the new offices of DC in Borca, inside the former reception building of the Colonia, another one of Gellner’s creations (Via Mattei 5). Everyone will then move to the Lower Cabin of the Colonia (Eng.: summer camp building), where the Press Conference will take place. Here, the projects and schedule of the summer-autumn season of DC will be presented, relating to both Borca and Casso (Nuovo Spazio di Casso), to the International Artistic Contest Two calls for Vajont, to the new sites (Paper Factory of Vas) and to the new active collaborations. The TERRAFORMAZIONE Communication Campaign by Fabio Balcon of Bra_ba_m will also be presented. Some never-before-seen artworks, realised in the last few weeks by the artists taking part in the Residency program in Borca, will also be shown.

2 PM: reception at the new offices of Progettoborca, realised thanks to the support of Minoter.

The building is also the new way into the Colonia.
