Free admission and program on the Slovene cultural holiday

 

EXHIBITIONS

Marij Pregelj (1913–1967): Retrospective

Marij Pregelj (1913–1967) is one of the key painters of modernism in the history of Slovene art. This retrospective exhibition presents the most extensive selection of Pregelj’s oeuvre in the past few decades, continuing Moderna galerija’s series of study exhibitions of the most outstanding Slovene modernists, which has in recent years presented the work of Marko Šuštaršičo and Gabrijel Stupica.

 

Points in Time – works from the collections, 1889–1991

A circular timeline with a selection of works that are an addition to and continuation of the permanent exhibition 20th Century. Continuities and Ruptures.

 

20th Century. Continuities and Ruptures

This selection of works from Moderna galerija’s national collections 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.

 

From the Studio of… Dušan Kirbiš

The series of small-scale exhibitions entitled From the Studio of… presents cross-section views of recent production by artists whose works are included in the Moderna galerija’s permanent exhibition 20th Century. Continuities and Ruptures. This year the series continues with a presentation of Dušan Kirbiš, who is featured in the permanent display in the section dedicated to the art of the 1980s with Truth Beyond the Visible (1988, acrylic on canvas).

Kirbiš’s exhibition foregrounds the artist’s characteristic explorations of painting as a medium and the possibilities of going out and beyond it. Like the previous exhibitions in the series, this one is a result of close collaboration between the artist and the curator Marko Jenko, PhD.

Exhibition opening at 18.00.

EXHIBITIONS

Janez Janša®

18 October 2017 — 18 February 2018

In 2007, three Slovenian artists joined the conservative Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and officially changed their names to that of the leader of the party, the Prime Minister of Slovenia at the time, Janez Janša. While they renamed themselves for personal reasons, the boundaries between their lives and their art began to blur in numerous and unforeseen ways.

 

Nina Slejko Blom and Conny Blom: Green Drawings

30 November 2017 — 8 February 2018

The Green Drawings is a project that uses the logic of free market capitalism to limit the total amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. From a cynical perspective, the project uses the same neoliberal logic that controls carbon dioxide emissions, to enable art consumers to buy themselves a guilt-free conscience.

 

Lives of Monuments

The documentary exhibition about monuments related to the Second World War and erected in Slovenia at the time of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was developed at the seminar “Art for Community Use” at the Department of Art History of the University of Ljubljana, in cooperation with the Moderna galerija.

 

A selection of works from the Arteast 2000+ and the national collections

Arteast 2000+ is the first museum collection conceived with a focus on Eastern European postwar avant-garde art in a broader international context. Since its inception in 2000, the collection has become well-known for providing a comprehensive overview of art in the region and outlining the developments in these countries from the 1960s through the transition period in the 1990s to the present-day context of global neoliberal capitalism.
