EXHIBITION Up close | Setting up - photo

Setting up the exhibition before the opening

There is no routine in the conservation-restoration of artworks, especially modern and contemporary works. In the case of modern artworks, we can still, at least partially, follow the rules of treatment that apply to older artworks, since artists like Marij Pregelj and Gabrijel Stupica still observed the rules of technique, but this is no longer the case with certain other works from the middle of the last century, and especially with contemporary works.

EPUB | Degrowth and Progress

Announcing a new e-publication on 17 February 2021

The Internationale Online platform has published a new e-pub entitled Degrowth and Progress. It was planned a long time before the pandemic but now shows that elements were pointing to a possible crisis of this nature long before its emergence. At the present time, one can no longer think in terms of abundance, in terms of the desire of accumulation and the capitalist utopia, which only creates inequality and exhaustion.
