The new temporary mural, which adorns the facade of the inner courtyard of the City Museum of Ljubljana, creates a playful bridge between the exterior and the interior of the museum and gives a new function to the existing building elements. It was created by Krashkid, a German street artist selected through an international call for entries Turn Into The Wall. Alongside the mural on the so-called 'turn' you can see a panel exhibition of the ten best mural proposals selected by the international jury.
The five-member jury of the Open Call Turn into the Wall consulted the 136 proposals submitted to the international call for proposals for a mural and announced the German street artist Krashkid as the winner.
The programme in 2021 begins with an exhibition focusing on the topics of newspaper photography archives. We will present the Romanian Minerva Archive and creatively show a historical archive as an example of good practice and a commentary through the contemporary works of various artists from Cluj and Bucharest.
Match Gallery
The Match Gallery, as its name tells us, is a space for fiery new ideas. It is a venue dedicated to projects from all sorts of contemporary artistic practices; performance, visual arts, audio-visual, and other. Within this smaller and extremely flexible venue in the very centre of Ljubljana we are stimulating varying reactions of culture and art in the context of urban culture, while we are also contributing to the definition of this phenomenon. Match Gallery is a laboratory of new ideas, creative formulas and inventive approaches towards quality art production.
