The project THE END OF THE BORDER (of mind) by Stefano Cagol, artist invited to the Barents Art Triennale 2012-2014, is a symbolic one month travel/expedition through Europe until its extreme boundaries tracing evocative lines of light in the sky able to cross borders.
tuesday, march 5, at the new venue of casso, dolomiti contemporanee presented the project.
a powerful line of light, 15 km long, cast above vajont dam (diga del vajont). by lighting the concrete up, art has produced a new image in/of/for these places, still strongly marked by the Tragedy of 1963.
the following day, wednesday, 6 march, a second beam has been cast at cortina d’ampezzo on the tofana di roses, one of the most impressive and representative heights of the dolomites world heritage, from a distance of several kilometers.
with these two first beams, the long artist’s expedition though europe to the arctic circle began. 5.000 kilometers on the north, many slashes of light were cast, on the road, crossing physical borders and mental boundaries
