After a few preliminary swings at the 2013 Exodos Festival (Tim Etchells, Matthieu Tercieux) and the Scarecrow project by Marko A. Kovačič and Brane Ždralo along the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, the Lighting Guerrilla turns on its lights at the already traditional locations in the Ljubljana city centre.

This year’s selection is showcased at the 91st ADC exhibition, which is now visiting Slovenia for the fourth time. At the same time, the 10th ADC Young Guns exhibition is also on show.

The exhibition involves three visual installations and one sound installation by Lela B. Njatin, which were created in the period 2010–2013 as a result of the author’s research into the perception of art in urban space.

What the works in this solo exhibition by Neca Falk have in common on the level of ideas is perhaps best conveyed by its very title. Journey into the Void thus primarily stands for a journey into the medium of painting which, in the context of an expanded field of modern artistic practices in Slovenia, has nearly been forgotten and, at the same time, a journey into largely anonymous and/or abstract non-events pertaining to elusive and fluid digital (photographic/video) images.

The exhibition by the legendary graphic designer Heinz Edelmann showcases 45 posters from various stages of the artist's career, spanning more than 40 years, including the widely known poster for the Beatles’ The Yellow Submarine.

With the research and exhibition project Video Turn Center for Contemporary Arts SCCA-Ljubljana wishes to investigate and present the experimental (video, multi-disciplinary, new media) art practice and thereby also actualize the DIVA Station video archive, on the basis of which their research has initially begun.

Within the City of Women Festival the Argentinean artist Ana Álvarez-Errecalde, who lives and works in Spain, presents her work entitled More Store.

Klavdij Sluban's exhibition East to East brings together photographs that he has made during extensive travels in the East, frequently following the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sluban's use of deep blacks and backlit silhouettes embues his work with a highly individual photographic style. These powerful images are remarkably moody and atmospheric and permeated with a strange melancholy and an overwhelming sense of isolation.

Lighting Guerrilla is turning on the lights in different public spaces for the sixth consecutive year already. Parks, streets, galleries and cultural centers for a few weeks yearly beat to the rhythm of lights of this festival, which is every time dedicated to a certain topic. This year it revolves around Movement.

The OHO Award was established in 2005 by the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute in collaboration with the Foundation for a Civil Society and with the support of the New York based Trust for Mutual Understanding. The aim of the OHO Award is to support young visual artists and to take them from a marginal social position to a more central role in society, with an emphasis on a positive context based on openness and creativity.

In conceptualising the idea called Happy Family, Dejana Vučićević centered her attention on an "as–if" situation. She thus eliminates the pathetic element and, by slanting the idealistic plane to slight irony, she brings in a well-intended critical view.

Certain discourses tend to dominate in recent exhibitions addressing notions of urbanism and urbanity. Urbanism is often approached as a de facto phenomenon, the contemporary city arising almost spontaneously, approached with the quasi-documentary stance.

With the carefully chosen title of this exhibition, Ana Sluga takes us on a brief journey into the history of Arts and reminds us, that the still life motif, despite depicting scenically and compositionally set inanimate objects, is full of interesting content emphasis.

Murder, My Sweet happens when Meta Grgurevič and Urša Vidic, two fine artists, do a remake of a film noir by replacing the media of the moving picture with that of a gallery venue wherein they install their gesamtkunstwerk.

The Traveling Idiot does not want to make choices; he prefers to make gestures while wandering around in his car. He is neither a winner nor a loser; he refuses to make the distinction, and expects fate to mould him. His journey is chaotic, and yet it leaves behind seemingly useless, but funny traces of a personal destiny.

The exhibition shows the work of New York-based, internationally known video and performance artists Eva and Franco Mattes, aka 0100101110101101.ORG.

Through their works, the artists exposes the relationship between sound and light within artistic installation, object, space, as well as the relationship between artistic lighting installation, the space and the spectator.
