Ar/ge Kunst, Kunstverein in Bolzano, has changed its artistic directors since January 2023 and has turned into a platform for fabulation. This new narrative dimension is intended as a collective form of cultural production and as a means of opening up a space in which to imagine political action.
Novellas is the new series of books we imagined to accompany the artistic programme. A new short novel will be published with each new exhibition. For the first book in the series, the curators translated extracts from “The Special Court”, a collection of surreal and ironic short stories that the Burmese activist Htein Lin wrote during his years of imprisonment in Myanmar.
