After a hiatus of several years, the Moderna galerija is again staging a selection of 20th century works from its national collection. Unlike the previous so-called permanent displays, which tended to focus on presenting chronological overviews of modernist styles, the 20th Century / Continuities and Ruptures exhibition breaks with traditional linearity by introducing the topics of the 20th century avant-gardes and of the art of the Partisan resistance, bringing them into the national history of art on an equal footing with more familiar trends and, as a consequence, casting new light on the latter.

Exhibition

EVR (e-flux video rental) is a project by artists Anton Vidokle and Julieta Aranda. It is conceived as a video archive, a projection space, and a free video rental. The video archive is comprised of VHS cassettes ? a recently obsolescent format. Through the choice of this technology to present and store works EVR broaches topical questions of the musealization, presentation, circulation and marketing of video art.
The project was conceived in 2004 and first presented at 53, Ludlow Street in New York. In the years that followed, it was presented at various locations all over the world, with the inventory of videos continuously increasing with selections made by local curators, artists, and critics. Currently, the project archive comprises over 950 videos.

Opening of the exhibition, Saturday, 26 November 2011, 8 p.m.

AN IMPOSSIBLE RETROSPECTIVE (ACTIVATING THE FUTURE) is the title of both a temporary exhibition and the permanent display of Apolonija Šušteršič?s projects on the ground floor of the MSUM. Working together with MSUM and collaborators on a project of interior design, visual artist and architect Apolonija Šušteršič has developed a concept for activating a part of the space on the ground floor, dedicated to informing the public, presenting connections, and exchanging ideas between the art institution, its visitors, and various local and international agents.
