KA ART
The passion and determination we have shown, in every single phase of our work, were recognised and rewarded, enabling ArtePollino to be selected as one of the 27 project leaders, which will implement 50% of the cultural programme of Matera 2019 European Capital of Culture.
Ka art is our proposal and programme aimed at drawing the collective map of Basilicata.
Environmental Art
Anish Kapoor, Carsten Höller, Giuseppe Penone and, for the local communities’ project, Claudia Losi, Anni Rapinoja, Nils-Udo and Mario Brunello are artists who express, each with their own perception, a new way of looking at the territory, out of the traditional modes of representation and portrayal.
Art, artworks and artists are interpreted from a different conceptual perspective, starting from the direct comparison with the environment, which goes beyond the physical and natural dimension of a territory and become something to be reinterpreted and given new meanings using the terms of the language of art.
Association
The association, established by the “ArtePollino Un Altro Sud” (Artepollino, Another South) project, has as its main goal the promotion and dissemination of contemporary art and, in particular, the relationship between art and nature, in the hinterland.
Projects
We organise educational activities, events and initiatives on contemporary art, collaborations with artists and scholars, education and training bodies, seminars and conferences in several Italian cities.

Pubblications
The two books – “Ka art, drawing the collective map of Basilicata” (edited by Katia Anguelova) and ‘Portraits of Humanity’ (written by Elvira Dones and illustrated by Marco Cazzato) – are now available.
Activities carried out after project’s end
After the end of the “ArtePollino Another South” project, the association had many opportunities to keep talking about it during workshops and conferences in several Italian cities, as well as festivals, radio and TV programmes, and at Academies of Fine Arts.
