Water24 Jun 2015 - 8 May 2016, City Museum of Ljubljana Through four main themes and various timelines, the exhibition presents the importance of water. The exhibition is also discussing water cycles in nature, their meaning and ecology. The first three themes build their stories through museum artefacts among which a larger wooden boat, presented to the public for the very first time, deserves a special mention. Other artefacts also include a rich glass collection, famous artworks by Slovenian artists and a selection of the most important artefacts from the collection of the Potočnik family, originating from the riverbed of the Ljubljanica.

Exhibitions

The Catalan painter, sculptor, and printmaker Antoni Tàpies (1923−2012) was one of the greatest European artists of his generation. The exhibition brings together a selection of his prints and art objects. Antoni Tàpies was present on the international scene from the mid-1950s. His early work was influenced by Surrealism, but he later switched to abstract art and was, among other things, a notable member of the art movement known as Art Informel. Tàpies was attracted to relief forms and the expressive value of non-traditional art materials such as marble dust, sand, and soil, which he introduced into printmaking and developed a number of new techniques. Tàpies participated in several editions of the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts, for the first time in 1967, when he was awarded the Biennial’s Grand Prize. His art influenced a number of Slovenian artists.Open: 10:00 - 18:00. Closed: Mondays

ALUO LXX: Past, Present, Future19 Jan - 24 Apr, Jakopič GalleryThe exhibition is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of full-time academic classes at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Ljubljana. What the exhibition seeks to emphasise particularly, is the plurality of pedagogical practices and the hybridity of the current art production ranging from an individual item to a spatial installation, the inclusion of performativity and the relation between the exhibited, the exhibitor and the visitor, in which the latter two both participate actively. The exhibition has been designed as a hybrid spatial installation of the past, present and future, combining the traditional gallery setting with spatial installations and sites intended for live performances of creative/educational activities. Saturdays at 16:30 guided tours in English hosted by a student of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, LjubljanaOpen: 10:00 - 18:00. Closed: Mondays Asmission free

National Parks5 - 28 Jun, Tivoli ParkThe open-air large format photo exhibition at Jakopič promenade in Tivoli Park will feature 120 photographs taken at the Triglav National Park in Slovenia and in various national parks in USA.
