Metka Krašovec, A retrospective

Metka Krašovec, Gardens of Semiramis, 2003, acrylic on canvas, 115 X 135 cm, collection of Nova Ljubljanska banka d.d., Ljubljana

31 January - 29 April 2012
Moderna galerija, Cankarjeva 15

The retrospective exhibition honors Metka Krašovec's 70th birthday, which she celebrated last year. Staged in five exhibition rooms in Moderna galerija's west wing, the show spans four decades of the painter's uninterrupted and extremely fertile creative output, presenting all of her main periods in terms of style and content since the early 1970s: The so-called red paintings from her early period between 1970 and 1979; the drawings and paintings on paper from the New Image period in the 1980s; the "Neoclassicist images" of faces since the late 1980s; and her final period in which her so-called Neoclassicist manner develops in painting and drawing on stucco into an iconography of angelic figures in landscapes, labyrinths with cypresses, and Mediterranean groves.

"THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH"

"Thoughts for the Month" is the title of a new special program instituted at the MSUM. It brings together educational events into a rounded whole, with the chosen quote of the month indicating the theme all the activities (guided tours, talks, workshops) revolve around. The title itself is a quote: Thoughts for the Month was a project carried out between 1964 and 1977 by the Croatian artist Josip Vaništa, a member of the group Gorgona. The members of Gorgona had a special habit: they would send one another literary quotes (which they called "thoughts for the month") that reflected the spirit of their Gorgonian community and that they wanted to share with other members of the group.

MG: 20th CENTURY / CONTINUITIES AND RUPTURES

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.

EVR - e-flux video rental

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.
