Exhibitions

Once Upon a Time, the exhibition of France Mihelič’s work, is one in a line of historical exhibitions traditionally held in Bežigrad Galleries that display more or less known artwork, cycles or other avant-garde style works of older artists or artists that had already passed away. On display will be his opus featuring the kurent and fantastic elements in drawings, paintings and prints.

The exhibition showcases a new way of creating innovative paper art that offers a myriad of options to be explored in the future.The purpose is to put on display some three-dimensional artworks by Suzana Brborović, Lara Jeranko Marconi, Janja Kosi, Blažka Križan, Maja Pučl and Tone Žnidaršič. The space hosts large-scale paintings and floating objects of various sizes. The pieces were made by cutting and carving paper and gluing them into a single object.

This year’s Natures festival is dedicated to Živko Kladnik, a versatile artist who has created and co-created a number of films in cooperation with groups from Kranj (Ime, KSK – Kino skupina Kranj).

Kariž is a Slovenian visual artist working at the intersection of painting, conceptual art and new media. This retrospective exhibition of drawings and paintings revolves around the motifs of the human nose and animal beak. Some of the works featuring human and animal bodies have been updated in the course of the artist's career (from 1994 to the present day), with new shapes and flurries of strokes over the motifs to obscure them.

The cycles Emptiness, Pressure and Transition featuring documentary photographs taken between 2005 and 2021 reveal the authors eye for local and global socio-political phenomena. With a clever conceptual approach he tackles current dilemmas of the capitalistic economy, the press and the post-COVID society.

This commemorative and retrospective exhibition of drawings and paintings by the artist Jože Slak, who was a unique and an irresistibly curious person, is a continuation of Slak's exhibition, which was on display at our gallery in 2015. The works on display represent the highlights of the painter's artistic creativity, as well as his unique, sensitive and critical view of the world.
