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.

In the Museum of Modern Art (MG+), a new exhibition is now on view: a circular timeline with a selection of works that are an addition to and continuation of the permanent exhibition 20th Century. Continuities and Ruptures and a guide to same.

The Politics of Memory, Power, and Resistance. A selection of works from Moderna galerija’s Arteast 2000+ and national collections plus special projects.

The exhibition Monuments, Plans and Utopias continues the trajectory of Sam Durant’s long-term work Proposals for Monuments, and represents the latest iteration in a series of projects that address the postcolonial period, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the lives and deaths of monuments, and the intersection of cultural production and the struggle for independence.

The exhibition is a result of a constructive dialogue between specific collections – the Solidarity Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje and the Arteast 2000+ collection, as well as the national collections of Moderna galerija, Ljubljana – highlighting only works that are made of natural materials, in addition to works that reflect the artists’ engagement with nature.

Translated into Socialism presents the little-known history of the Turkish-speaking community in Yugoslavia, more precisely, in Kosovo and Macedonia between 1920 and 1980.

Conceived as a string of cinematic scenes that gravitate around the topic of labor, and how the imprint of history affected the social and political environments of Eastern European societies after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the exhibition Songs for a Better Future introduces the first comprehensive display of Matei Bejenaru’s artistic practice in Slovenia.

A Short Histery of Our Time presents the oeuvre of Maja Bajević, an artist who has figured prominently on the art scene in the region of the former Yugoslavia since the 1990s. Her artistic practice is largely underpinned by the context of the wars in the former common state and by her native Bosnia and Herzegovina.
