26 Nov - 20 Mar 2016, Museum of Architecture and Design

Water24 Jun 2015 - 8 May 2016, City Museum of Ljubljana Through four main themes and various timelines, the exhibition presents the im-portance of water. It is essential for our survival, the mobility of humans, goods, ideas and knowledge, our mythologies and beliefs, art and language. The exhibi-tion is also discussing water cycles in na-ture, their meaning and ecology. The first three themes build their stories through museum artefacts among which a larg-er 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 Slo-venian artists and a selection of the most important artefacts from the collection of the Potočnik family, originating from the riverbed of the Ljubljanica. The fourth theme is presented with an interactive ex-perimental element, primary intended for children’s experiential workshops. 6 March at 13:00 free guided tour in English Open: 10:00 - 18:00, Thursdays 10:00 - 21:00. Closed: Mondays

Plečnik CollectionThe new permanent exhibition at the Plečnik House in Trnovo presents the most important projects of the late ar-chitect. Plečnik’s creativity comes to life through the plans, models and photo-graphs of his creations such as the Zach-erl House in Vienna, Prague Castle, the National and University Library in Lju-bljana, the Ljubljana Central Market, Žale Cemetery, the Church of St. Michael at the Ljubljana Marshes and numerous other masterpieces. Several plans of Plečnik’s never realized visions are also on display. The Cathedral of Freedom, the master’s vision of the Slovenian parliament, is es-pecially worthy of our attention.Guided tours: every hour, on the hour (the last guided tour at 17:00). Groups must not contain more than seven peo-ple.Open: 10:00 - 18:00. Closed: Mondays


Slovenian HistoryLjubljana CastleSlovenian History, Ljubljana Castle’s permanent exhibition, shows the dy-namic history of Slovenia and Ljubljana. Slovenian territory, lying at the junction of natural routes between the Alps, the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian Plain, has been the point of convergence of dif-ferent peoples and cultures since prehis-tory. The exhibition covers the Slovenian history from the earliest traces of human presence (200,000 BC) to the landmark events following Slovenia’s independ-ence in 1991and presents the societies of the differ-ent periods, the state formations, the political, social and economic circum-stances, migrations, transport, culture, architecture and the everyday life.Open: 10:00 - 18:00 daily

Puppet Museum at Ljubljana CastleSlovenia is a country with a rich tradition of puppeteering. The Puppet Museum’s permanent exhibition, set up by the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, introduces

Showcasing the archaeological heritage of the ‘Celtic Highlanders’ within a broader historical and geographical context, this exhibition takes you back to the last centuries BC, on a journey through the mountainous pre-Alpine and Alpine regions of Veneto, Carnia, and Friuli in Italy, the Austrian Carinthia, and the Soča river basin and the region of Kras in Slovenia.The Celts settled at the most prominent strategic points in the area to gain control over the river valleys below. They established burial grounds and made offerings of weapons and horse equipment to natural forces and war deities. They began to coin money, traded and fought with the Romans, and developed a completely new and unique style of decorating jewellery, clothing, weapons, horse equipment, and crockery.Open: 10:00 - 18:00. Closed: Mondays

Bogoslav Kalaš: The Painting Machine7 Dec 2015 - 20 Mar 2016, Museum of Modern ArtThe artist Bogoslav Kalaš has developed a unique painting technique named aerography or air brush painting. The exhibition The Painting Machine provides a comprehensive overview of his work to date. The paintings on display are based on Kalaš’s ‘family album photographs’ (nudes, landscapes, portraits, still lifes), which the artist has enlarged and trans-ferred to canvas by means of his painting machine. Using this technique, he has managed to combine the conventions of traditional painting with the require-

Crises and New Beginnings: Art in Slo-venia 2005-201522 Dec 2015 - 2 Apr 2016, Museum of Con-temporary Art Metelkova (MSUM)The exhibition Crises and New Begin-nings aims to present a selective over-view of recent and current developments in contemporary art in Slovenia and at-tempts to define the main phenomena and trends observed in Slovenian art over the last decade. It covers a wide range of different art forms and involves the collaboration of many art profession-als and experts.Creating their works, artists react criti-cally to the numerous contradictions of the ideological and cultural discourses around them. The new generation of Slovenian artists has replaced nostalgia with melancholy, the banality of the everyday with an elevated pathos, and realistic expectations with overblown ambitions.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 hybrid-ity of the current art production ranging from an individual item to a spatial in-stallation, 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

Antoni Tàpies: Prints 1959-198723 Feb - 4 Jun, International Centre of Graphic ArtsThe Catalan painter, sculptor, and print-maker Antoni Tàpies (1923−2012) was one of the greatest European artists of his generation. The exhibition Antoni Tàpies: Prints 1959−1987 brings together a selec-tion of his prints and art objects.Antoni Tàpies was present on the inter-national scene from the mid-1950s. His early work was influenced by Surreal-ism, 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 print-making 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 who came into contact with Art Informel, including Janez Bernik, Andrej Jemec, Bogdan Borčić.26 March at 16:00 guided tours in English Oen: 10:00 - 18:00.

Ljubljana will host a concert by Pharoahe Monch, one of the most versatile MCs of all time, hailing from Queens, New York.Pharoahe Monch began his career in 1991. By the turn of the 21st century he was considered to be one of the best independent East Coast hip-hop artists alongside Mos Def and Talib Kweli. A less intensive creative period followed, with new albums coming out only every few years. His latest album, PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, was released in 2014. Throughout his career, Monch has been faithful to his trademark style, keeping the quality of his music at a high level.

MusicOpera, theatre, dance

The Marin Sorescu National Theatre in Craiova, in collaboration with the American director Robert Wilson, presents a production of Eugène Ionesco’s enigmatic play Rhinoceros, which hovers between Surrealism, Magical Realism, and the Absurd.Together with a 30-strong ensemble, Wilson has created a piece of theatrical madness in which imagination jumps the barriers of reality and pushes the boundaries of logic and classical perception of the world. People gradually turn into rhinoceroses, reality gives way to unreality, and theatrical magic dispels even the bleakest of the bleak visions of the world and affords views beyond, across other dimensions. What Ionesco tried to achieve with the language, Wilson does with visual images.

highlight of the week will certainly be the concert of Irish music with Irish and local artists, on Saturday, 19 Mar, in the Slovenian Philharmonic.The Embassy of Ireland has again included Ljubljana in the “Global Greening” project, in which the Irish tourist agency, Tourism Ireland, lights world famous landmarks in green to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. This year’s greening will feature over 180 iconic landmarks, including Ljubljana Castle and the Slovenian Philharmonic. Since this year the project coincides with the “Ljubljana - Green Capital of Europe” project, the Embassy will arrange the lighting of the castle with an Irish flavour.14 Mar, 17:00 Irish street dance Čopova ulica street15 mar, 17:00 Free Irish dance classesŠola irskega plesa, Celovška cesta street16 Mar, 20:00 Trad sessionAn evening of Irish traditional musicCutty Sark18 Mar, 20:00 Literary dinner Druga violina19 Mar, 20:00 Celebration of Irish music
