Exhibitions

 Žoel Kastelic • Živko Kladnik • Boštjan Lapajne • Amir Muratović • Ana Palir • Tomaž Pavkovič • Jatun Risba • Tina Šulc Resnik • Sašo VrabičThe traditional four-day Vidofestival Natures, centered on imagery from the natural world, features video works by authors selected through an open call, newly discovered films by Živko Kladnik, sound and filmmaking equipment, and photographs from films and videos.

The second exhibition showcases a new way of creating innovative paper art. The pieces were made by cutting and carving paper and gluing them into a single object. The purpose is to put on display some large-scale paintings and three-dimensional artworks:  Bogdan Borčić, Janja Kosi, Janko Testen, Petra Varl, Nežka Zamar and Tone Žnidaršič.

As a part of a series of memorial art exhibitions of lesser-known Slovenian artists, the exhibition presents Izidor Urbančič – artist, painter, sculptor and teacher. The selection of his artwork features a unique intimistic approach to fine art and is a glimpse into the magically intimate paintings from the 1950s and the sublimely playful sculptures created as early as the 1970s.

A retrospective exhibition of the academic painter's work to mark the 50th anniversary of his career. As an important representative of expressive art, Jože Marinč is known for using strong colours, dynamic compositions and large formats.

One of the most prominent Slovenian sculptors and this year's Prešeren Award for Lifetime Achievement winner, her work is marked by the use of various materials including wood, concrete, bronze and ceramics. In recent years, Čadež has focused her research on ceramics in combination with wood and clay. The series on display, entitled Screens, presents a large-scale ceramic composition consisting of several sets, which, with the addition of different materials, techniques and content, blends with the gallery space to form a complete spatial installation.

The main idea behind the festival is to get to know some of the more recent videos which were created without the help of computers but have still managed to outshine the modern technology. The festival also includes an exhibition of still pictures, videos and devices from the second half of the 20th century.
