Boštjan Plesničar & Ervin Potočnik: Velvetarium – Lapidarium

02. 10. 2009 – 31. 10. 2009

Boštjan Plesničar and Ervin Potočnik in their exhibition Velvetarium – Lapidarium build upon the common story they set out last year with the exhibition Žametal at the Celje Centre of Modern Arts. In the lapidarium of the Božidar Jakac Gallery they attempted once again to create a dialogue between their artistic creations, one shaped radically by the archaic nature of the space. Opening introduction and essay accompanying the catalogue had been contributed by Goran Milovanović, the exhibition’s curator.
