Aus dem Ankündigungstext von Karin Pernegger, Kuratorin des Vereins SMAAT:
Anlass und Idee zum Projekt ist die Installation
Die Blaue Silvretta Malexpedition Galtür (2013)
von Maria Peters, die vom Alpinarium in
Galtür als Auftragsexpedition beauftragt wurde und sich heute in
dessen Sammlungsbestand befindet. Im Mai 2013 verbrachte die
Tiroler Malerin einen Monat unterhalb der Jamtalhütte, um mittels
Tagebuchnotizen, Videoaufnahmen, Aquarellen und Ölmalereien die
Schneeschmelze im Jamtal zu dokumentieren. SMAAT kehrt gemeinsam
mit der Künstlerin an den Ausstellungsort im Alpinarium zurück,
um vor Ort am Samstag, den 13.9., ab ca, 10 Uhr eine Lese-Performance
zu halten. Anschließend brechen wir gemeinsam zur Jamtalhütte auf, um
am nächsten Tag am originalen Lagerplatz der zurückliegenden Malexpedition
die Fortsetzung der Performance "Knisterndes Moos" von der Künstlerin zu erleben.
Die Performance stellt die Erfahrung des zurückliegenden Aufenthalts künstlerisch dar.
Im Rahmen der Begehung verwandelt sich die Künstlerin in ihr fiktives Alter Ego, bzw.
wird zu jenem Fabelwesen ihres zurückliegenden Aufenthalts, das in der Schnittmenge
zwischen Natur- und Kulturraum der Berglandschaft kritisch über die Gegenwart des
Anthropozän, die "Mensch_lein" und den Klimawandel verhandelt.

From the announcement text by Karin Pernegger, curator of the SMAAT association:
The inspiration and idea for the project came from Maria Peters' installation Die Blaue Silvretta“Malexpedition Galtür (2013) , which was commissioned by the Alpinarium in Galtür and is now part of its collection. In May 2013, the Tyrolean painter spent a month below the Jamtal Hut documenting the snowmelt in the Jamtal valley through diary entries, video recordings, watercolors, and oil paintings. SMAAT returns to the exhibition venue at the Alpinarium together with the artist to hold a reading performance on site on Saturday, September 13, starting at around 10 a.m. Afterwards, we will set off together for the Jamtal Hut to experience the continuation of the artist's performance “Knisterndes Moos” (Crackling Moss) at the original campsite of the previous painting expedition the next day. The performance artistically depicts the experience of the past stay. During the walk, the artist transforms into her fictional alter ego, or rather becomes that mythical creature from her past stay, which critically negotiates the present of the Anthropocene, the „Tiny Tiny Humans“ and climate change at the intersection of nature and culture in the mountain landscape.
