The 2015 season is starting: on May the 16th, Dolomiti Contemporanee reopens the Colonia (Eng.: Summer Camp Building) of the former Eni Village of Borca to the public.
Progettoborca is the most recent regenerative “construction site” for DC: inaugurated in July 2014, it now comes into its second season.

And thus, on Saturday May the 16th, in occasion of the Cadore’s Culture Week, the incredible structure of the Colonia will once again be open to the public. It will be possible to visit Gellner’s architectural creation, and see the artworks realised by the artists in these first few months of activities, while they themselves are there.
These are the artists who worked in Borca: Marco Andrighetto, Marta Allegri, Chiara Bergamo, Elisa Bertaglia,Gino Blanc, Gianni De Val, Fabiano De Martin Topranin, Sandra Hauser, Jérémy Laffon, Stefano Moras, Luka Sirok.
Some never before seen artworks will be presented as well.

 

The guided tour will go on further, and reach some of the other structures of the Village.
If the weather will be good, at around 4:30 PM it will be possible for us all to move from the Colonia to reach the Church of Our Lady of the Cadore. The vehicle accessibility of the parking lot is prohibited at this time by order of the Firefighters, because of some maintanance that is being carried out.
The visit will thus be possible starting from the parking lot of the Boite Hotel, and reaching the Church through a very short path in the woods, to access the church from its main entrance.

The back area and its immediate vicinity remain forbidden to the public, which will not be able to move around in the area marked by the bi-coloured tape.
In case of rain, the visit to the Church will not be carried out.

The appointment is at 2 PM, on Saturday May the 16th, and the meeting point if the Sales Office (Ufficio Vendite, in Italian on the signs), inside the Village.

Here the directions to get to the Village (once inside, please follow the sings pointing to the Sales Office/Ufficio Vendite).
Duration of the visit: about two hours.

Meanwhile, we’re working on new projects, artistic, cultural, and strategic ones, many of them, which will be carried out during the Summer and Autumn of 2015, giving more and more light to the magic Village, that needs to live.
