CALANCROC

A stone crocodile

Temporary stone installation in the Calanca valley

32 granite blocks of varying sizes ideally draw the shape of a crocodile.

32 as the degrees Fahrenheit of the melting point of the ice to underline the theme of the Biennale: a reflection on the progress of civilization in the fight against the climate emergency.

The material chosen is evidence of the only industrial sector in the valley: the Alfredo Polti quarries in the municipality of Arvigo. The stone will be engraved using both old and new techniques. The project will be curated with the participation of the children of the valley in collaboration with educational institutions. The new generations draw the territory through the complete experience of the artist's profession, from the idea to the realization.

In Val Calanca, every gesture made in the interest of the private sector has always been done for the good of the community. This is the tradition that marks a moment of civilization, as a universal example of civic commitment on the part of citizens.

The Calanca Valley on the move

Rossa IN BRIEF

The Swiss Alpine municipality of Rossa sits at an altitude of 1100 msl. in the Calanca valley in the Italian speaking part of Grisons and is home to an extraordinary biodiversity of flora and fauna.

Every gesture, every intervention in this magical place must refer to its spirit of happy survival, be respectful to the environment and people, sustainable, and daring for its creative and enduring reach.
