Arhitekturna zapuščina je dinamična entiteta, ki se nenehno spreminja. Ne spreminjajo se le stavbe, temveč tudi arhivski materiali, ki se sporadično pojavljajo v različnih institucijah ali celo na nepričakovanih mestih; včasih 'manjkajoče dele' najdemo tudi na varovanih policah javnih arhivov.
During archaeological excavations near SNT Drama Ljubljana in 2023 and 2024, exceptionally well-preserved remains of the Roman colony of Emona were discovered. The exhibition features, for the first time, two mosaics: the first is distinguished by a black-and-white geometric design typical of 4th-century Emona, while the second displays mysterious letters whose meaning remains unexplained. Also on display is a fragment of an oil lamp depicting a theatrical mask—a motif that symbolically connects life in Emona with the Drama Theatre.
The Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, which celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2025, announces its 36th edition under the artistic direction of renowned curator, lecturer and researcher Chus Martínez, with City Art Gallery Ljubljana as one of the main exhibition venues.
The main exhibition of the Lighting Guerrilla Festival is one of the most visited projects of the Match Gallery. The 19th edition of the festival with a series of light installations is taking over the areas in the immediate surroundings of our gallery and other locations around Ljubljana. Specially for the exhibition at the Match Gallery, light installations were created by Antti Kulmala, Ida Hiršenfelder, Nika Erjavec, ::vtol:: and Laura Adel.
Painting has always been more than the material sum of what is created in the studio out of canvas, colour, and stretcher frame. This is also evident in David Maljković’s artistic practice since the mid-1990s, when painting became an open field which the artist used to transfer his experience with this particular medium into other artistic media. It was inscribed into the pictoriality of his objects, video works, and spatial installations. To which extent painting can represent a discursive field in order to articulate the relations between image, space, and time can be experienced in the project at Cukrarna Gallery. Here, painting no longer acts as a mediator but as a speaking voice.
Dorit Margreiter Choy is an Austrian artist interested in modern architecture, its ideological implications and its relationship to economics and gender roles. Her films, photographs, and objects tell stories of places and landscapes in transformation, with humans as implicit architects of these changes. The works exhibited at Cukrarna Gallery, with their exploratory view of local histories, find a conceptual and material equivalent in the venue’s setting. A mobile hanging in the gallery further emphasises the exhibition’s basic concept: the spatialisation of time and the temporalisation of space.
The exhibition, which marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, presents the key events that took place in Ljubljana during the occupation. It highlights the everyday lives of residents during the war, their personal choices, the violence of the occupiers, and the organized resistance. Through individual stories, it reveals the difficult dilemmas people faced in the most challenging times and encourages visitors to reflect on peace, war, and the culture of nonviolence – themes that remain relevant to this day.
The exhibition is part of the major inter-institutional project Baroque in Slovenia and presents frescoes by the painter Josef Mayr, which were taken down from the ruins of the Križ Manor near Komenda in 1947. The installation takes the visitor into a recreated image of the salon, known in later literature as the billiard room, which was decorated with Mayr's frescoes.
The exhibition GESTUS is structured as an assemblage, bringing together a wide range of artworks in different media and techniques. These include posters, glass objects, music, video, an assemblage constructed out of leftover material found in the storage spaces of Cukrarna Gallery, and digital illustrations printed on wood panels, fabric, and aluminium sheets. The exhibition is part of a one-month stay of the artist, musician, and writer Hassan Khan in Ljubljana and has been specially conceived for the Parter Gallery.
“A tower, a mule, me and the garden” – that is how Jože Plečnik imagined his life when he didn’t know yet that after Vienna and Prague his native Ljubljana would be his lifetime’s environment for his creative work.
