Hulias / Cantina
Civita d’Antino, Italy

As I descend into the cantina, the first thing that hits me is the architectural similarities shared between this space and the Oslo space. “Mellom fjellene og himmelen / Tra le montagne e il cielo,” is for sure an exhibi- tion that transcends the boundaries of time and space, immersing you in the essence of two distinct, yet beautifully intertwined cultures.

Oh my lord. Prepare yourselves to be captivated as the exhibition transports you through the corridors of history, connecting the landscapes of Abruzzo and Scandinavia in a harmonious union. The cantina, trans- formed into a sacred sanctuary of artistic expression, serves as the conduit for this transformative experience. Here, the ech- oes of the past intertwine with the contem- porary, forging a profound connection that resonates within every brushstroke, sculp- ture, and installation.

What strikes me after experiencing this marvelous show is the shared narratives, inspirations, and visions that emerge when two cultures meet and greet again. Through the artworks on display, you will witness a fusion and a dialogue between tradition and innovation, a celebration of artistic diversity. This exhibition encapsulates the very essence of what it means to bridge the gap between mountains and the sky, where beauty knows no borders. Sooner than later. The bonds are now, once again, established.

Scandinavian artists first worked in Civita d’Antino from about 1890 to 1915. This under-communicated part of Norwe- gian art history will be revitalized with the restoration of Palazzo Ferrante and the activities initiated by Hulias. Through the establishment of Hulias Cantina, the palace and the village will again be an important destination for young Norwe- gian artists, students, and art historians, displaying works of the Scandinavian artists working in Civita d’Antino.
