Exhibitions

This year’s exhibition presents a fine selection of sketches, puppets, stage elements and photographs created by Robert Smolík, a Czech scenographer who designed several puppet shows in Mini Teater Ljubljana, including Fran Milčinski - Ježek's The Little Sleepy Star, Svetlana Makarovič's The Mishmash Bakery, and the Brothers Grimm's The Wishing-Table.On display are 83 puppets, 24 stage elements and objects, and three stages.

The new series of paintings is inspired by videos and microscopic photographs of neurons damaged or altered due to the use of various substances or neurodegenerative diseases. 

The collection gives an impression of a personal archive of dreams, hopes, secrets and regrets.

Miklavž Komelj sees his artwork as a bridge between painting and poetry that is lined with various verses or text fragments of his own or other authors’ texts in different languages and from different periods of time.

Matej Čepin’s paintings depict landscapes where time seems to have stopped and where people and plants barely exist. They look like frozen photographs or film frames of human shapes that look right at us, yet past us.

On display are prints that were created as independent works of art in the following techniques: linocut, offset and screen printing.They blend visual and concrete poetry with fine art.Artists: Getulio Alviani, Luciano Caruso, Ryosuke Cohen, Continuum 4: Luciano Caruso, Laura Marcheschi, Steliomaria Martini, Felice Piemontese, Giovanni Polera, Patrizia Vicinelli, Emilio Villa, Franco Visco, Eugenio Miccini, Hugo Mund jun., Jack Keguenne, Balint Szombathy, Robert Rehfeldt, Ruth Wolf Rehfeldt, Romolina Trentini, Tipolito Maghina, Guy Schraenen and anonymous.
