Expert tour of Klavdij Sluban's exhibition with the curator Dr Marija Skočir
Jakopič Gallery at Ljubljana Art Weekend 2024
We are joining again the three-day initiative Ljubljana Art Weekend, that connects the most important contemporary art venues in Ljubljana. For the occasion we organized a special guided tour of the largest ever mid-career retrospective exhibition of Klavdij Sluban with our curator Dr Marija Skočir. Sluban, master of the analogue black-and-white technique is one of the world's most renowned photographers of Slovenian origin. His way of photographing is impulsive and intuitive.
For the exhibition Elsewhere Here the photographer Klavdij Sluban and the curator Dr Marija Skočir, have conceived a completely new selection of cycles that present the highlights of more than three decades of Sluban's work in more than 150 photographs.
Sluban's way of photographing is impulsive and intuitive, often in motion, without any psychological study of the subject. The only sharpness that matters is the sharpness of feeling in symbiosis with the gaze that cuts into the vision of the shot. His photographs are landscapes inhabited by all the senses.
The retrospective exhibition Elsewhere Here is accompanied by an extensive photomontograph, which is also available as a special edition.
Free entrance for the participants of the Ljubljana Art Weekend.
