In 2019, Arte Sella and the Municipality of Borgo Valsugana launched the SKY MUSUEM project, which saw the creation of three artistic installations in the historic centre of Borgo Valsugana.

For the first time, Arte Sella has been confronted with the urban space of the town, creating a path of enhancement of the architectural and landscape qualities of the historic centre. 

After the first realization commissioned in 2019 to the English artist Stuart Ian Frost, who created the work The Broken Oak  with oak logs uprooted by storm Vaia, located in the garden of the Alcide De Gasperi Higher Education Institute, the second phase of the project involved the artists Edoardo Tresoldi and Cédric Le Borgne, two authors already very well known to Arte Sella visitors, who in recent years have created respectively Symbiosi and La donna invisibile at the exhibition area of Malga Costa

Counterface by Edoardo Tresoldi is a succession of volumes in metal mesh, four metres high, designed by Tresoldi for the "House of the Community" in Borgo Valsugana. The installation reveals the decorative features of four Renaissance-inspired newsstands, conceived as an inverse expression of form. Usually thought of as an ornament of the building, the newsstands here become the antithesis of their function and, emptied of the matter that composes them, they prepare to welcome the changing succession of natural phenomena and celebrate the landscape. In Counterface, the projecting tension of the installation is opposed to a pressure directed towards the interior of the architecture, which makes the façade a place of intersection between anthropic action and the intervention of nature.

The Flying Man by Cédric Le Borgne is also made of wire mesh and is located near the Venetian bridge, thus creating a visual continuity with the work of Edoardo Tresoldi and placing the observer's attention on the river Brenta and on the relationship with the horizon of the mountains, framed by the profiles of the houses in the historic centre.
