Academic sculptor Dragica Čadež is one of the first Slovenian artists to see sculpture as an open form, a form expanding into space, enabling viewers to not only journey along the sculpture but also through it. After the year 2000, she has focused her aesthetic exploration on works in clay.
Jože Barši, who entered the art scene in the late 1980s as a member of the so-called New Slovene Sculpture generation, has left a significant mark on the development of contemporary Slovenian visual art after the year 1990. From the very beginning, his work focused on changing the relations of the artist and public towards an artwork.
News
A new campaign by the City Art Gallery Ljubljana/MGML aims to support artists during the current crisis. At a time when fear looms larger than creativity, when panic exceeds inspiration and the bad news outweighs the good, the City Art Gallery Ljubljana wants to share art through a channel with a large number of followers.
Dear visitors of the City Art Gallery Ljubljana! Based on government measures for preventing the spread of coronavirus, all events held in closed spaces are cancelled until further notice or we will do our best to hold them at later dates on which we will keep you regularly informed.
“I am a ten percent artist, a ten percent neighbour, a ten percent father, a ten percent husband, a ten percent patriot, a ten percent friend… I divided one hundred percent into ten percent for each area. This gives me the freedom to be one hundred percent in the ten percent of art,” stated the Croatian conceptual artist Vlado Martek in the programme Osmi dan on Slovenian National Television, who is currently presenting himself with a retrospective exhibition at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana.
