Of all the artists on show, Hubert Kostner is the one least rooted in the sculptural tradition of the Val Gardena. Nonetheless, his sculptures, objects and installations, whose basic themes are often the landscape and tourism, do interface ironically with it. At this exhibition, Kostner presents panels bearing plays on words round the names of the days of the week and an old sideboard made of yellow wood boards and reinvented as a bar.
