John Fekner
10. 12. 2024–19. 1. 2025
John Fekner is considered one of the most "known-unknown" artists working in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s. He was part of the vibrant art scene of the time and exhibited with Don Leicht, Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Jenny Holzer and others. Fekner's retrospective-documentary exhibition at the Match Gallery is the first solo presentation of his art in a public institution, which, interestingly, is located not far from the birthplace of the artist's father, Ivan Fekner, born in 1909 on Karlovška Street in Ljubljana.

Giovanni Morbin
28. 11. 2023–21. 1. 2024
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.
Dominik Mahnič
19. 9. 2023–5. 11. 2023
Dominik Mahnič, an emblematic figure nestled between the realms of academic painting, video mastery, technology, and street art insurgency, raises questions about the perpetual dialectics between classical artistry and the onslaught of contemporary technological modalities. Within this discourse emerges the Brushograph - a complex symbol not merely of art but also of the intersections between past, present, and anticipated futures.
