Giovanni Morbin Hybridizactions, from 1995 to the present

As a tribute to Ljubljana at the Match Gallery we host a retrospective exhibition of the Italian artist and performer Giovanni Morbin named Hybridizactions, from 1995 to the present. Since the beggining Morbin's artistic research has been linked to behaviour, and for him performance is the ideal tool to express ideas. In the 1990s, Morbin was a regular guest on the Ljubljana art scene and conceived and performed four Hybridizactions in the city, which later had a significant impact on his international artistic career. Morbin also prepared a new Hybridizaction 16, Evergreen for the exhibition in Ljubljana.

In cooperation with the City Museum of Ljubljana, we produced an exhibition on Slovenian women artists in the period 1850-1950. The aim of the two-part exhibition is to highlight female artists who presented themselves to the public during the selected period and who, despite the social conventions of the time, established themselves in the public space. The museum focus on women painters and sculptors, while the gallery focus on women architects and photographers.

Visitors looking at the objects on display and delving into their stories rarely think about how much effort and knowledge has gone into preserving them. How and who preserved these items which, due to age and other circumstances, should have perished long ago?

The exhibition, created in collaboration with the ZRC SAZU France Stele Institute of Art History, presents the close relationship between Dr. France Stelè and Jože Plečnik. From the extensive correspondence that Stelè preserved is clear that their relationship was both professional and a true friendship. During the construction of Plečnik’s projects in Ljubljana, Stele was the head conservator and the head of the Monument Office.

In July and August 2022, during renovation of the hot water supply system in Argentina Park, archaeological research was carried out in the area between Štefanova ulica and Puharjeva ulica. The excavations uncovered part of Roman Emona’s northern cemetery. At one time, this would have extended along the road leading to Celeia (today’s Celje).

Pop-up razstava
FaceOrFactory: The Face of Corporate Building
19. 12. 2023–31. 5. 2024

The Face of Corporate Building je raziskovalni projekt, ki preučuje različne strategije formuliranja narativ in specifičnih retoričnih vzorcev, ključnih pri ustvarjanju umetniških NFT platform. Proces dokumentiranja in analiziranja fraz, spletnih objav, izjav platform in posamičnih primerov NFT umetniških del ter dogodkov je oblikovan kot videoigra, v kateri obiskovalec postopno odkriva specifično ekonomsko in digitalno pokrajino kot novo obliko sodobne mitologije, v katero se ambivalentno vpenja (človeški) obraz: na eni strani mesto identitete in reprezentacije, na drugi prednja stran, lice diskurzov, ekonomskih transakcij in politične nevtralizacije.
