SMACH / Stefano Riba, Michael Moling
SMACH stands for San Martino Constellation of Art, Culture and History. The project aims to enhance the cultural and landscape heritage of San Martino and Val Badia. It has been doing so, since 2012, with the Biennial, which has so far involved more than 60 artists, from several countries, in an osmotic exchange with the territory activated by site-specific works. From 2018, SMACH’s mission also resides in Val dl’Ert, a public art park in nature, created in an abandoned valley in San Martino. The cornerstones of both projects are free access and a focus on rediscovering cultural and natural resources. SMACH also organizes concerts, performances, screenings, guided tours and educational workshops.
Michael Moling and Stefano Riba of Smach invite participants on a walk through Val d’Ert, a public art park established in an abandoned valley in San Martino.
The path winds among artworks acquired during recent editions of the SMACH biennial, created by artists from around the world. The sculptures and the surrounding Alpine forest engage in a complementary relationship, mutually nourishing one another.
