Performance | Body of Nature | Silvia Del Grosso

The Val Bregaglia stretches from Isola (in Switzerland) along the river Maira (in Switzerland) or Mera (in Italy) to Chiavenna (in Italy). The programme of side events of the BIENNALE BREGAGLIA 2024 traces this geography.

During the conception of BIENNALE BREGAGLIA 2024 – Architecture and Gardens, the curator invited the artists Piero Del Bondio (1947-2024) and Silvia Del Grosso (*1978) to share a common performance in the town of Chiavenna as a concluding collateral event.

On 9 March 2024, the Swiss artist died.

The encounter of two artistic identities of the Val Bregaglia, Swiss and Italian, cannot therefore physically take place. However, visual art, cultural heritage and memories merge in the body of the Italian artist.

The architecture of Bondo - a guided tour (DE)

The alpine village of Bondo offers numerous secular building typologies: the farmstead, the stable, the detached, semi-detached and multi-family house, the manor house, but no high-rise building. Rare, sacred building typologies such as a church, single and double water sources and various access systems such as alleyways, paths, streets, squares and suspension bridges characterize the townscape. On a guided tour, you will learn how the architecture in Bondo has developed and how it approaches history and the future.

In collaboration with: Christian Stoffel, Denkmalpflege Graubünden, Chur.

This guided tour will be held in German.
