30 January 2021 – 21 March 2021

 

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 it opens with a look at Bojan Gorenec’s most recent work. Presented with his The Lay Topos of Painting Trinity: Projection, the Concept of House, Paining (1988; mixed media on canvas) at the permanent exhibition, the artist is now showing his latest series of paintings revolving around both the complexity and the contradictions in the relation of painting (or art in general) to its time and space in terms of history and the medium itself.

 

The exhibition is a result of close collaboration between the artist and curator Martina Vovk.
