Calanca Biennale was born in the beginning of 2017 with the phrase:
“A vertical valley made of stone, meets horizontal countries made of sand”.
This phrase encompasses the idea and goals of Calanca Biennale.This vertical valley made of stone is one which is not treated with pesticides and is not undergoing industrial deforestation. In the previous century Calanca was a poor territory defined by emigration, today it is a precious small green lung that welcomes visitors. Calanca Biennale is an show case of contemporary art that shows off a new aspect of the valley each time:
- In 2019 we displayed the vast height differences of the mountain ranges
- In 2021 the pandemic year in which we could not meet
- In 2023 our sky
- In 2025 the connection between human and tree

We released 400 butterflies of the Alps to manifest the friendship with those people who must cross our Mediterranean Sea to escape from their lands
A crocodile, totem spirit of the Earth shouts “Help! I’m burning!”
We will show the hidden colors of the moon, a rebirth after a symbolic death, after the pandemic
This incoming edition has the tree as its symbol. The tree is a friend, empathetic, it makes our lives on this planet possible.

The 4 projects of the Biennale 2025
We talk about a conceptual tree as a symbol of life, a symbol of growth and productivity. The tree that accompanies migrants to help them find the easiest path.We are now in the middle of the graphic design contest, we will print a catalog and a second illustrated book for kids but in addition we will also realize some conceptual installations around the planet. Some of them will be permanent, while some will represent individual events.
These installations will depict the shape of a horizontal tree that can be seen with a drone. A tree that contains a message.
The first installation will be constructed in the Calanca Valley (Swiss Alps) which is the heart of the Biennial and Calanca Biennial will print the entire catalog of this Biennial.
Other trees will be installed in Italy, in the Chiriqui Park in Panama, in Mexico, in the Brazilian Pampa.
BOOK FOR KIDS
Fifteen illustrations accompanied by a text in three different languages that show some countries of the world. This book is dedicated to children who for any reason are prisoners
- of their own body due to disease
- of their own mind due to autism
- due to emigration, children that flee from countries at war who end up in refugees camps.
These children might not ever have the chance to see these places. Maybe this book will make them dream for a while.

SAFFRON
Saffron, the spice of Iran, also known as red gold is considered the flower of the Moon because the harvest must be done in the light of the Moon. This project will be managed in partnership with the Azienda Forestale Calanca and ORO who cutivates organic saffron in the Khorasan region. Calanca Biennale will cultivate a little garden at the end of the valley, in RossaThe bulbs will blossom for three years, a small production that will remain in the valley for the future.
MOONS
Moons is a project involving schools of the Regione Moesa. A company specialized in glass resin has created a prototype moon. Fifty moons have been delivered to classes, each one will create their own moon. During the season, Calanca Biennale will organize some exhibition.
ILLUSTRATION
Calanca Biennale proposes to the individual communities of Moesano to exhibit a monography contained in this catalog. Each monography is a collection of related artworks that will be printed on forex for outdoor with different themes MOON, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, GIVE UKRAINE A CHANCE and GIVE IRAN A CHANCE.Each community decides how and when to celebrate the Biennale.Instead of a single spark, many little flames spread through the region that light up on different dates throughout the season. The calendar will be managed by Calanca Biennale, by the Tourism office and by Pro Grigioni Italiano.
SCULPTURE
The creation of a sculpture in Gneiss representing the Earth and the Moon will take place in the stone quarry of Arvigo. This idea goes beyond art, filming the three phases of the sculpure.
- Extraction of a two hundred and heighty ton raw stone
- Different techniques of sculpting the stone
- Explosion
The public will be invited to watch the video on some organized occasions. The message of this performance is that nobody owns anything, not the sculpture, the Earth nor the Moon.

Nell’edizione del 2023 parliamo di cielo. Il nostro pianeta è immerso in un’atmosfera che tutti chiamiamo cielo, uguale ma diverso per tutti, secondo la vicinanza all’equatore, all’intensità di illuminazione artificiale e al tasso d’inquinamento dell’atmosfera terrestre, al punto di circumnavigazione dal sole.
Per parlare del cielo abbiamo scelto la luna, il nostro satellite, la nostra luce notturna naturale. Tutti conoscono la luna, tutti i popoli e culture hanno tributato simboli e miti alla luna.
Un materiale immenso per un evento d’arte e di cultura.Se non ci fosse la Luna, la vita sul nostro pianeta sarebbe diversa, forse invivibile. Niente luce naturale notturna, no maree, no cicli per la crescita e le coltivazioni.

“Una valle verticale fatta di sassi, incontra altri paesi orizzontali fatti di sabbia”
Questa frase racchiude il senso e gli obiettivi di Calanca Biennale. Calanca Biennale è un evento di arti figurative presente sia sul territorio che globalmente.
- nel 2019 abbiamo valorizzato gli altimetri,
- nel 2021 anno di pandemia, abbiamo lavorato virtualmente
- nel 2023 parliamo del nostro cielo.
Calanca Biennale esporta un messaggio di fratellanza, di appartenenza al pianeta
- nel 2019 abbiamo fatto volare 400 farfalle delle Alpi per manifestare la nostra fratellanza tra le 2 coste del Mare Nostro Mediterraneo
- nel 2021 un coccodrillo totem spirito della Terra grida “Aiuto, sto bruciando!”
- nel 2023 mostriamo “I colori nascosti della luna”, rinascere dopo una morte simbolica, rinascere dopo la pandemia.
