press release

Museion, museum of modern and contemporary art, Bolzano/Bozen

While the formal inauguration is scheduled for May 24th, 2008, Museion will start its program at the new building with "Solo24Ore24Stunden": a 24-hour exhibition-event beginning on December 14 at 12:00 noon and ending at 12:00 noon of the following day, December 15. The exhibition-event will celebrate the architecture of new building, planned by the Berlin-based studio KSV Krüger, Schuberth e Vandreike.

"Solo24Ore24Stunden" will anticipate the formal opening by giving forth the physical presence of a new public building to all citizens. It will present, in the entire new architectural space, a strong selection of visual art works and a program of interdisciplinary performances.

The 24-hour format represents not only a radical gesture in terms of exhibition apparatus, but also expresses the exceptionality of an event which will happen and then disappear after a very limited amount of time.
