Vlado Martek Exhibition with Many Titles

12. 7. 2019–8. 9. 2019

The first retrospective of Vlado Martek art in Rijeka, "Exhibition with Many Titles", presents a wide variety of media, concepts and topics whose point in common is the artist’s experimental use of language. The exhibition reveals the artist’s beginnings in the 1970s, his breakthrough onto the art scene after graduating in literature and philosophy, and his work as a member of the Group of Six Authors, which left an impact on Martek’s art in general.

After the Canal, there was only "our" world.

19. 9. 2019–10. 11. 2019

Artists presented at the exhibition: Ibrahim Ahmed, Amado Alfadni, Meriç Algun, Pavel Brăila, Chto delat?, Shatha Al-Deghady, Marianne Fahmy, Iulia Toma. “The sea is walking in the streets”, wrote Mahmoud Darwish in 1982 in his Memory for Forgetfulness, from under an actual siege replete with waterline cuts and rocket fire trails. Yet in more recent years “Europe under siege” has become a curiously common phrase, concentrating as it were a landlocked imaginary full of fears, not as much for the underground streams pushing from the darkness beneath, as for the external seas walking on European streets and the threat of aberrant fires.

Overview exhibition

Jiři Bezlaj

28. 11. 2019–19. 1. 2020

In his fifty years of sculpting, Jiři Bezlaj has produced numerous sculpture series and cycles that have left a recognizable mark on contemporary Slovenian sculpture. Bezlaj primarily works with stone, which is also the material with which he has achieved enviable aesthetic and creative levels. His art language is unique, full of imagination and authorial freedom.

Guided tour of the "Exhibit A" exhibition

"Exhibit A" addresses various manifestations of power and the ways this power can be abused in the name of order and progress. All the same, the artists do not set themselves up as moral authorities detecting and exposing offences and demanding justice; rather, they create their own forms of poetic justice, a justice that serves as a sometimes subtle, sometimes ironic critique of modernity.

Guided tour of the "Exhibit A" exhibition

"Exhibit A" brings together fourteen internationally acclaimed artists. The works in this exhibition encourage a sceptical approach to formal truth: they probe the protocols and knowledge policies underlying official versions of history, carefully examining archival materials, or gathering data through interviews.
