Colour Blindness Awareness Month at Jakopič Gallery

At Jakopič Gallery, our commitment to enhancing accessibility and welcoming diverse audiences is unwavering, as we strive to offer the broadest possible spectrum of art experiences, expanding our perception of the world. That's why we are excited to embrace the opportunity to participate in a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about color blindness, which kicked off at the beginning of the month, in connection with the 6 September - the anniversary of the birth of John Dalton, the pioneer of daltonism. We aim to provide individuals with color vision deficiencies a full and immersive exhibition experience, making us the first gallery in Slovenia to do so. At the same time, we invite the general public to visit our gallery and experience a different way of perceiving artworks through practical examples.

DK with Scotoma at Split's Salon Galić gallery

Invited by the Croatian Association of Visual Artists (HULU) and in cooperation with the Jakopič Gallery (Ljubljana), the Slovenian photographer DK will present his photographic opus Scotoma for the third time in its entirety in Split's Salon Galić gallery from 8 September 2023. Scotoma comprises 6 series and is, in the words of the author, “a visualized journey that navigates between our personal enigma and the universal predicament that we face“. The exhibition was first shown at Jakopič Gallery in 2019 and has since toured successfully at home and abroad.

Jakopič Gallery hosted the event WATER: Science and Art

The Jakopič Gallery on 6 April 2023 hosted the event WATER: Science and Art: Communicating science of water and its importance through visual, artistic and media language. Scientific knowledge about water is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. This calls for an appropriate approach on how to better communicate this knowledge to the wider public through different channels in the future and raises the question of whether art can complement the strictly scientific approach of providing information about water.

Jakopič Gallery

Being one of the central MGML galleries, the Jakopič Gallery is part of the vital developments in the field of contemporary art practices in the Slovenian capital and elsewhere. Its projects cover manifold fields within the visual as well as performance and multimedia art spectre. In the past decade, the gallery has been focusing on presenting globally acclaimed photographers (Roger Ballen, Lee Miller, Josef Koudelka and other Magnum photographers, Sebastião Salgado). Additional emphasis has been on thorough and retrospective exhibitions by renowned Slovenian photographers (Marko Modic, Damjan Gale, Tihomir Pinter, et al.), featuring their extensive, often lifelong oeuvres that had previously not been treated expertly as a whole.
