The exhibition of posters designed by students of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at the University of Ljubljana offers an insight into diverse interpretations of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and is connected, both in content and in form, with the exhibition1495 Days Ljubljana During World War II. The graphic statements, created during the academic years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 as part of the course Visual Analysis of Graphic Products 2, build a bridge between the past and the present, with a view to a free future.
Silvester Plotajs Sicoe, an academic painter, presents his most extensive and in-depth overview exhibition to date at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana. The exhibition, entitled How to Dream Backwards?, is a carefully conceived selection of works in which the artist has attained personal painterly and narrative maturity – the refinement he has persistently, thoroughly, and patiently pursued since the very beginning of his career.
The exhibition in the museum Treasury is dedicated to presenting archaeological finds from the excavations at the new National and University Library (NUK II) site, conducted in 2024 and 2025 by the ZVKDS, Centre for Preventive Archaeology (CPA). On display will be several particularly interesting small finds, among which stands out a small bronze figurine of Priapus, the deity of fertility and the protector of livestock and gardens.
The exhibition of selected works by the doyen of Slovenian modern painting, a pedagogue and author of university textbooks on art education methodology and theory, features drawings, paintings, and a series of small sculptures marked by the artist’s most intimate and expressive depictions.
The presentation of the artist, who through photography and memory—by sequencing and layering short diagonal lines on the base surface—creates an image of decaying nature, portrays the world within its ecosystem, its degradability and transience, and addresses us on the importance of shared coexistence.
Plečnik’s urban projects reflect a unique blend of classical and modernist styles and shape the identity of today’s Ljubljana. His works are renowned for their innovative use of spoliation – the reuse of historical architectural elements or spolia, which he skilfully integrated into his architectural designs. Plečnik's use of spolia is highlighted in the exhibition and accompanying publication ‘Repurpose, Reinterpret: Tracing Spolia and Reuse in Plečnik’s Ljubljana’.
Designed as a series of gaming ecosystems, the AVANTGARDEN cycle, initiated and created in 2018 by multimedia artist Tanja Vujinović, is an interactive Gesamtkunstwerk. It is made up of virtual synthetic worlds in which architecture, sounds, videos, and sculptural compositions create environments of gardens, nightclubs, concert venues, fashion studios, playgrounds, galleries and protolaboratories, frequented by avatars on social VR platforms embedded in cultural events and games.
In the exhibition Temporary Address, we present 17 authors selected through the participants of the Up Close: Photography as a Way of Seeing study group. Their projects are imbued with feelings of closeness and familiarity, vulnerability and change, as well as an awareness of their own transience. They recreate ambients and question the meaning of the various spaces we inhabit.
The exhibition ART VITAL offers for the first time a multilayered insight into the unique and uncompromising collaborative work and life of the artist couple Ulay and Marina Abramović over a period of 12 years between 1976 and 1988.
The exhibition, which marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, presents the key events that took place in Ljubljana during the occupation. It highlights the everyday lives of residents during the war, their personal choices, the violence of the occupiers, and the organized resistance. Through individual stories, it reveals the difficult dilemmas people faced in the most challenging times and encourages visitors to reflect on peace, war, and the culture of nonviolence – themes that remain relevant to this day.
“A tower, a mule, me and the garden” – that is how Jože Plečnik imagined his life when he didn’t know yet that after Vienna and Prague his native Ljubljana would be his lifetime’s environment for his creative work.
