The selection of twenty works, created by the young MA of architecture and photographer from Novo mesto, bring a new view of wellknown Slovene architectures. The artist started by focusing on architectures created by known Slovene architects such as Jože Plečnik and Edvard Ravnikar as well as contemporary projects designed by architectural offices such as Sadar+Vuga, Bevk-Perović Architects and Dekleva Gregorič Architects.
Selected architectures have, in one way or another, managed to persuade the artist to recognize in them the potential for their rethinking through the medium of photography. She visited the chosen architecture several times, researched it and extracted one or more characteristics that she found telling and characteristic for the studied building. In order to capture even lighting on all parts of the building and achieve a unified atmosphere, she photographed the building at various times.
Ana Skobe does not resort to digital manipulation, as she truly photographs architecture details from unusual angles. Every individual section within the polyptych is thus real. The manipulation, or if I paraphrase it, modification of the architectures takes place only post festum, once the photographs have been developed.
The artist constructs the final image of the polyptychs through a logic that is dictated by architectural thought. She constructs the polyptychs in the form of an architectural grid, by combining small squares or rectangles, which are reminiscent of tiles or bricks, the building elements used in architecture. The artist organises and merges them into a picture, almost as if she was assembling a jigsaw puzzle. She incorporates the characteristics of the architecture into the polyptychs with the use of assembling, the gravitational logic of constructed elements and the offset from the wall with spacers. In this way, she tries to return to the architectural photograph, some of the lost dimensionality.

The exhibition presents renovated buildings in Slovenia, which are an indispensable part of the history of cities and towns and are the cornerstones of local or even national identity. Through a series of past and current projects, the exhibition highlights the importance of cooperation required for houses that have outlived their original purpose to start a new life. Many of the buildings presented constitute an indispensable part of their town’s history and function as symbols of local and even national identity. The fact that they are alive and kicking today is the result of the collaboration of professionals from diverse walks of life, above all architects and conservators. Over the years, we have seen them tackle complex development planning projects to transform heritage buildings by collaging modern architecture over the layered substrates of previous historical epochs. Many renovation projects are thus still viewed as radical and controversial, even though they have shaped the history and development of architecture and cultural heritage protection.

The artist Tina Mohorović from Novo mesto is holding her first exhibition in the Božidar Jakac Art Museum. The title of the exhibition Crossings, is also the title of her latest series of prints, which she created in the beginning of this year. These prints mark a direct shift or continuation of the 2018 graphic prints series titled Anonyms.
Within the series Crossings, external spaces are reduced to a few selected details which represent a shift from external spaces towards the inner, personal space, i.e. towards the relationship of the individual with himself. When creating this series, the artist used the same graphic plates as she did for the series Anonyms, from which she isolated individual details and thus created new compositions.
With the use of the strong contrast between light and shadows, she created a game between the print’s positive and negative and shifted from the letterpress to the gravure printing technique.
Similar as in the black cube of a theatre, the artist shed light only on the scenes that she wished the visitors to focus on and ponder upon. The link with the theatre is no coincidence, for the artist also works as a set-designer. The experience of space, its design and movement within it, is one of the central themes of her creativity.
So far, the artist has reached the deepest with her latest series of drawings, collected in the series Ossifying. The drawings peek under the skin, the motifs are like an X-ray of a damaged human skeleton with imaginary bones, muscles and joints, in the interlacement of which new stories emerge and new fantasy worlds are opened.
The exhibition was created in cooperation between the Božidar Jakac Art Museum and the Velenje Gallery (June 18th to August 2nd 2020).

For fifteen years, Bojan Kovačič (1949˗2017) led the printmaking course at the National Gallery of Slovenia. Before his unexpected death in late 2017, his course was attended by over one hundred students.
In comparison to other members of the Ljubljana School, Kovačič experienced a different kind of training. He was a student at the Brera Art Academy and at the same time worked in printmaking workshops that produced prints for some of the most outstanding members of the School of Paris. His printmaking routine was focused on technical control, while improvisation and experimentation with the medium paved the way to innovation. He was the first to print from perforated plates, a feature Bogdan Borčič, one of his teachers, systematically integrated into his working method. As a pedagogue, Kovačič knew how to listen to the needs of each of his students, his/her specific inclinations, understood his/her potential and thus stimulated his/her graphic expression.
In 2011 Bojan Kovačič donated his entire production of prints to the National gallery of Slovenia. In 2018 his widow Elena Martello Kovačič completed his donation by addition of prints produced between 2011 and 2017.
The exhibition is dedicated to the teacher’s memory and to his students at the National Gallery of Slovenia.

The map of Matjaž Geder’s contemplations, which unfold through the landscapes on his graphic prints is broad, for Geder is interested in contemporary social themes as well as in the current crisis. The artist is known for his graphic prints in which he addresses issues dealing with the systems found within society, the individual’s rebellion, the search for borders and the desire for freedom, all of which are best shown in the themes linked to the period of growing up. He has a special connection with the youth, for he meets and teaches them on a daily basis in his role of an art teacher. His prints often depict classroom motifs in the form of objects such as rulers and stamps which the teachers use to mark the work of the pupils, school desks and the green colour of blackboards. School desks full of drawings and writings, slogans and verses that capture the various fragments that create the youth’s world, depict their desires, interests and rebellions present the most common background in the artist’s prints.
The title of the exhibition On the Wings marks both youthful exuberance and crossing of borders, as well as a desire to overcome conflicts, inspiration and a fly of imagination. The exhibition is complemented by mobiles in the form of paper aeroplanes printed with wrappers of psycho-pharmaceutical pills. They reflect the desire to move, to free oneself from the clutches of social systems and control in schools and families. At the same time, they carry the message of deep mental distress and an epidemic of tranquilizers and antidepressants, which increasing numbers of people need to function ‘normally’ in a dysfunctional world.

In 2019, we celebrate the 120th anniversary of the birth of the artist Božidar Jakac. On this occasion we host an art collection of Jakac’s Jesenice Cycle from the collection of the Upper Sava Valley Museum in Jesenice. This collection of steelworks motifs is composed mostly of chalk drawings and etchings, their focus is on the outline of the workers, the working processes and the environment of the Steelworks Jesenice in a specific stretch of time. The Jesenice Cycle is in terms of content and depictions of workers and the industrial landscape a unique feature in Jakac’s oeuvre.
The collection of drawings and graphics has an artistic and documentary value but it also raises questions about the relationship of the metallurgists in regards to art and society. Ciril Rekar, between the years 1939 and 1941 in charge of the steelworks in Jesenice, could see the benefits of the collaboration with the artist, as he in 1939 invited Božidar Jakac to create a big graphic titled Open-hearth steel plant. The glowing furnace, groups of steelworkers, the sensation of the environment filled with fire and smoke experienced through shading offer enough information for the viewer to relive the authors’ and steelworkers’ experience of the steelmaking procedure as well as the workplaces itself in its most primary drawn form.

The exhibition was created by The National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At first glance we seem devoid of ideas, as though the art production stopped five years ago and the curators are stuck in time. It seems like we are recycling previous exhibitions because we are not capable of creating new ones.
Actually, the truth is that we have created an exhibition whose biggest value unfortunately lies in its indefinite expiration date. Every exhibited piece for itself and the exhibition as a whole are still as fresh and relevant as if they were created just yesterday.
This is an exhibition about Bosnia and Herzegovina, as seen through the eyes of artists; about our present marked by our past; about identities which we have created, identities we have not created or identities we were denied.
The exhibition is a history lesson as well as a critic of society. It had this function in the moment it was created, when it was presented for the first time and now as we are introducing it to the public in Slovenia.
So, we made no progress – we are still burdened with past times and ideologies; while speaking three equally different languages, we line up beneath “hollow” flags. Our country is the rope around our neck and silence is the highest form of democracy.
Welcome to the dossier Bosnia and Herzegovina!

In the 100 years since his death Cankar has become an almost mythical national character, a visionary ideologist, a restless bohemian and a sharp thinker, the name of whom is carried today by numerous cultural and educational institutions and societies and at least one road or street in any larger Slovene town. His influence, his cultural and spiritual heritage can be seen in the numerous works of art that were inspired by either his literary works or Cankar himself.
Cankar’s words found in the essay Our Artists (1910) “An image that fails to reveal the artist’s soul is a dead image. A portrait should primarily resemble the artist and only then the model”, could be applied to the sculptures of Janez Boljka, who, following 1969, spent two decades depicting our greatest writer. Boljka saw Cankar as an archetypal misunderstood artist, a vagabond, whose elusive image he tried to capture not only in sculptures but also in graphic prints and paintings. His depictions differ from classic portraits, for the writer is denoted by two symbols rather than his image: his famous moustache and the chrysanthemum, which is enough for identification. Boljka presented Cankar in numerous variations; he often depicted him in the company of a muse or a book, as a donor, passively sitting or defiantly standing with his arms stretched out and nailed to the cross as the saviour. Boljka participated in two tenders to create a monument to Cankar in Ljubljana, the first in 1969 and the second in 1971. His idea was amongst the best ranking ideas in both tenders, which is why the jury decided to give him the honour of creating the monument. In May 1974 Boljka exhibited 13 drafts and studies for the monument in Mala Galerija in Ljubljana. Alas, the 4 metres high monument with a fountain was never realised, as the general public applied pressure which culminated in threatening letters, and in the end, this persuaded Boljka to stay away from the project.
Compared to Boljka’s surrealist sculptures, the monumental depiction of Cankar created by Lojze Dolinar is a truthful depiction of the writer. The monumental body was created in 1947 and depicts the full figure of a sitting Cankar as a personified thinker, who is in spirit close to the character of Dolinar’s heroes from the recent past. Jože Gorjup’s bronze image of Cankar caught in mid-step and dressed in a flowing coat is closer to a prophet with a raised left hand. The image symbolically reminds us also of Cankar’s socially oriented political engagement. In 1929 the artist also created an etching of Cankar’s face. Franjo Stiplovšek’s wood engraving of Cankar is only a year younger. France Gorše also captured his vision of the writer in a patinated plaster relief. One of the most recognisable literary characters in Cankar’s works is undoubtedly the character of Kurent from a story with the same name. It comes as no surprise that the socially critical and artistically redemptive theme of this work was acknowledged by numerous Slovene painters, who each gave their own vision of Kurent. Božidar Jakac found his alter ego in the image of the fiddler with supernatural characteristics, whose music brings joy to this world. In 1920 he created a series of wood engravings for the first chapter of Cankar’s story which were published in book form as late as 1979. He also depicted Kurent during his studies in Prague, which can be seen in his two drafts for a poster for his exhibition, both dated to 1923. In the same year he also created the full figure oil depiction in the expressionist style, which together with the drawings on the same theme, form a part of Jakac’s permanent exhibition in the Božidar Jakac Art Museum.
Alongside the artistic depictions of the great writer the exhibition also presents Cankar’s literary works in the form of selected translations and first editions, which were lent to us by Valvasor’s Library in Krško especially for this exhibition. When we, while gazing at Cankar’s literary works and the works of great Slovene artists, capture the essence of the personality of our greatest writer, we have to consider the importance of artists and art in Slovene society. These issues hold an important position also in Cankar’s literary opus and have remained current and vivid social themes until this very day. In his essay Our Artists (1910), Cankar wrote the following words on art and looking for it in the life of every human: “I have stated that art is the search for beauty – every heart seeks it in a different place and in a different way. /.../ For art does not live merely in exhibitions and museums, theatres and concerts, buildings and books, it encompasses our everyday lives in the form of a sweet light, a memory of Eden.”

Mnemosis is a photographic series by Andrej Lamut, in which he deliberately moves away from depicting the material reality to unveil vast inner worlds, full of inexplicable, often fictitious images. In the series, the author explores daytime parahypnagogia, an altered state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, usually accompanied by flashes of thought, insight or creativity, that are quickly forgotten once the episode has passed.
Lamut understands Mnemosis as the embodiment of what remains after a daytime parahypnagogic experience: the visual materialisation of the distant, inaccessible thought in ones’ mind. Photographs from the series do not try to recreate the mental images seen during such episodes, but rather create the atmosphere of experiencing said mental state. They carry no visual traces of time, space or a specific event. The viewer is left with an impression that what is seen on the images is repeating infinitely; a motive captured in a never-ending circle of its own existence.

The artworks by the five artists are concerned with the exploration of the dynamic relationship between man and machine, and within this, the questions about the role and significance of work and the worker in contemporary society. In various ways, they particularly touch upon the field of industry, where this relationship has been most defined in the past. The given subject has already marked many periods of art in the past – particularly the time of the historical avant-gardes. Today, it is again in the forefront of the interest of many artists. The world has progressively advanced in its technological development, becoming more and more roboticised and digitized with new, advanced forms of machines. At the same time, it is also marked by the repercussions of the recent global economic crisis. Many old and new questions spring up, as well as dilemmas that the authors of the exhibition divulge through their artworks. They consider the traps and the benefits of progress. The crisis of the values of society, which is in the name of development increasingly yearning for quick profits and capital, exploiting and destroying the worker. They question the consequences of the fact that the machine is no longer just man’s aid in performing work, but is becoming more and more of a substitute, an invention that removes its creator from the working process, which jeopardizes man’s income and hence his survival. They also talk about the successful stories of “cooperation” between man and machine, and the importance of preserving the memory of past achievements within technological development, which we now call industrial heritage. The exhibition joins the interdisciplinary project by the museums of Gorenjska entitled Our Factories, Our Pride – The Industrial Heritage of Gorenjska, which is dedicated to the history of the local industrial heritage in the Gorenjska region.

The artist Helena Tahir positioned in the center of attention of current exhibition the figures of children in various compositions involving flying objects that either spin around the children or pull them into the spiral of life. Their gazes are searching for us and sometimes they stare at us with surprise, sometimes they show fear or melancholy, and sometimes they reflect the determination of a young person seeking for his or her space in this crazy world. The motifs of children (in colour drawings and graphic print techniques) are backed by black and white abstract drawings, which strive to create the effect of spatial illusion and interweaving multi-layered structures. She additionally merged her graphic prints and drawings into a spatial installation with a 3D fabric object in the frottage technique. With its movement and sound the installation spreads into space. The images enter our horizon of perception and stimulate our imagination so that her art is perceived through an intentional act. Her images simply surpass reality. (Vesna Teržan)

Although firmly embedded in the singularity of a historical moment, which made possible their realization through the coincidence of unique circumstances, the Gardens of Versailles at once reach to a time that is outside of time. The magnificent photographs by Ana Kučan, made with the penetrating eye of a landscape architect of the highest rank, place before us all the unusualness and magic of this object. These photographs disclose the duality of this heterotopic space, its materiality and sublimity in one, its historical and trans-historical reach, its decelerated time, its sublimity created for the glory of the king, but exceeding all the calculations of power, its illusory presence, oneiric and phantasmic, yet very sensible and close, at once enveloped in fog and thoroughly distinct. (from the foreword by Mladen Dolar)
Ana Kučan is a landscape architect and a full professor of landscape design and theory at the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana.

Portrait conventions, developed through centuries, are today accessible to artists as a repertory of communication strategies that pervade our space and time. In his series of portraits of contemporary Slovenian artists Uroš Abram presents their images as collective creations, results of a precisely defined dialogical method. They reveal a new ethos of the contemporary “artist” who has left the studio as his sanctified place of creation in order to retrieve the social responsibility for artistic production and the lustre to the art’s dimming halo. Owing to a particular sort of cooperation of the portraitist and his model, Abram’s dialogical portraits are a sort of portraits parlants, speaking portraits, which reach beyond the established portrait genres. The latter are at hand for combination and manipulation towards capturing the essence of the model’s existence in the individual and public sense. The pictures tell us what and who the artists of today are in the aftermath of postmodernism which has so drastically corroded the notion of the high art that artists started to shed the established image of a creative mind as a social subject – the inspired benefactor of mankind, offering himself/herself regardless of sacrifices for values that surpass himself/herself and his/her existence; they want to redefine the image of the Artist, isolated from the rest of the world within the walls of his/her studio, where he/she pursues a research on images of timeless truths. The condition of neoliberal capitalism forces contemporary artists to confront life by fighting for their existence in the overheated situation of ruthless exploitation, social marginalization as well as material and intellectual deprivation. In the imminent loss of the position of Art as the privileged social activity and its drop on the scale of social values the artist has no choice but to fight for the total refashioning of society. Thus art and life merge as intensely as ever because they are motivated by common goals. Uroš Abram documents this chaotic process of remaking the basic conditions of the artistic creation today through the images of its protagonists.

The biennial exhibition A Look: View of Slovenian Visual Art was primarily dedicated to the visual art in Slovenian regions of Dolenjska, Bbela Krajina and Posavje. After the past three editions with different geographic bounds, we started following the visual art production on a national scale, which was followed by extending it to Slovenian artists who live and work anywhere in the world. The aim of this shifts was the fact that the curator Barbara Rupel strove to establish a dialogue between the artists who live and work in Slovenia and the ones who live and work abroad.
The selection for A Look 8 exhibition was based on the quality and it reached, as usual, into all richness of visual expression which means that it was not only focused on works executed in the classic artistic media. In this edition we focused on the artists who temporarily or permanently reside and work abroad.

Anton Vindišar, who was a priest in Kostanjevica na Krki in the period 1964-1971, understood that the identity of the place and the relationship with the people has to be built on the piety of the significant and grand ancestors. During his period in the parish the concerts organised by the Dolenjska Cultural Festival were taking place in the church. That is also reflected in his collection of art works which was not based on expertise criteria but it was rather an expression of friendly affection towards artists, friends and acquaintances. Those were mostly people whom he met in Kostanjevica na Krki and among them there are artists such as Tomaž Kvas, Stane Kregar, Rafaela Potokar, Rudi Simčič, France Gorše, Lojze Perko, France Godec, Wolfgang Kogler, Stane Jarm and Peter Jovanovič. The most prominent works in the collection are those that are related to the collections of the Božidar Jakac Art Museum, among others works of Tone and France Kralj. Even when Vindišar was transferred to a new post he maintained contacts with many of those artists.
In 2015 the Božidar Jakac Art Museum signed a donation document with the heirs of late Anton Vindišar and thus acquired fifty art works for the permanent collection. Some were placed in the Collection of the Gorjup Gallery, in the primary school of Jože Gorjup in Kostanjevica na Krki, however, the entire donation is presented at this exhibition together with the catalogue.

The sculptor and graphic artist Tea Curk Sorta (1981) showcases her recent works in the exhibition entitled States of Being at Lamut’s Art Salon. In her artistic practice she most commonly uses variety of materials such as paper, cardboard, cloth and wire. This exhibition showcases her recent sculptural works made with a bare wire where the artist continues her exploration and interpretation of female figures making them look like a spatial drawing. The exhibition showcases works from three different series: Dancers (2012), Women (2014-ongoing) and Sketches (2015-ongoing).

Kastelic is young and emerging artist who will showcase his most recent works. In his artistic practice he addresses the phenomena of contemporary communication tools and technologies, and focus on visual media from the point of view of interaction with its users. Therefore he commonly refers to ambivalence of an image (a photograph), experiments with manipulating (media) contents, and explores impact of overabundance of information on humans. The exhibition will be split between two venues, Photon – Centre for Contemporary Photography, Ljubljana and Lamut’s Art Salon, Kostanjevica na Krki

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest artistic poets to have celebrated the region of Dolenjska, Vladimir Lamut. His opus has already been examined thoroughly, mainly by Dr Milček Komelj. To this end, the Božidar Jakac Art Museum will honour the memory of this great artist with an exhibition at Lamut’s Art Salon (named after him for his contribution to Kostanjevica), displaying some of his less famous drawings and croquis, which he produced alongside one of the many cultural phenomena of Kostanjevica na Krki last century, i.e. the amateur theatre as part of the Lojze Košak cultural society.

Nataša Mirtič sees printmaking as an autonomous means of expression that differs specifically from other artistic media and allows special formal and aesthetic effects. Her understanding of printmaking is based on the assumption of the “purity” of the medium, which emphasises its essential structural and textural qualities. Her printmaking practice is characterised by a subtle study of the relationships between artistic elements, and she complements formal emphases with the associativeness of artistic symbols. In the prints from the Grafika series, the artist Mirtič respectfully interprets printmaking tradition, pointing openly to the references that inspire her, but at the same time draws on contemporary consumer culture in her choice of subject-matter. In this way she creates formally pure and semantically rich works of art that combine elements of high modernism with newly interpreted tradition.

In the series of works entitled Linije in transparence [Lines and Transparencies], Milena Gregorčič (Ljubljana, 1952) once again applies a modernistic diction to move within the field of abstract painting, despite strong associative elements from landscape, while all along adhering to an exploration of two elementary problems of painting: the problem of space and the problem of light. Transparent material once again makes an appearance as the bearer of the paintings on display; this time it is plastic foil, which in its intent bears a wish for an invisible bearer that will enable the line to enter illusionistically into space. The main accent on the installation is rendered by a drawing on plastic foil measuring nearly 15 metres in length which, imbued with a sense of perspective, drifts wavily into the depths and towards the horizon within the space. In the texture, light, shadow and colour of the work, the author writes out a sensory life story. Every furrow, every stroke of the brush or penetration of light through the coloured layers constitutes a substance reduced to transmit messages about life, about being.

The exhibition at the Lamut’s Art Salon of the Božidar Jakac Art Museum is showcasing the work of Josip Korošec. In his work he recognises sensory, emotional and cognitive values within dimensions of a line, and furthermore, he understands the line as a territory of everyday activity.
The artist and his work will be presented by Irene Mislej, the exhibition will be opened by Mojmir Pustoslemšek, the mayor of Kostanjevica na Krki.
The exhibition is the result of collaboration between Pilon Gallery, Ajdovščina, and Božidar Jakac Art Museum, Kostanjevica na Krki.

The exhibition “Homes of Noted Slovenians” was prepared for the Božidar Jakac Art Museum - Lamut’s Art Salon by Dr Živa Deu. The selected materials relate the stories of renowned people whose scientific or creative efforts left a mark on Slovenian cultural space through the architectures of buildings that held importance in their lives. The selection, which includes the parent location of the Božidar Jakac Art Museum, was assembled to incite the visitors of the exhibition to prolongue their journey and see the old town core of Kostanjevica na Krki the location of several spaces that gave rise to noted Slovenians.

Rajko Čuber (1957, Brestanica) has set out as the principal installation concept in the salon the placing of painted canvases one next to another, and has thus placed in the space the image of a line, which symbolises the artist’s life path. Despite the fact that for this occasion Čuber has in effect painted his life in one sweep, he has consciously incorporated onto the canvas components that have created the accents of his stylistic stances in certain earlier periods. The mood installation thus fuses into one single painting, one image. The range of colour is also adapted to this. All the shades of intensive red with their distinct tonally turbulent background, where shades of blue often appear as a counterpoint of the emphatic depth, transform through the artist’s life path to a personification of his being, his experience.

Nataliya Gorza (born in 1972) calls herself a painter of »psychological portraits«. Her portraits can be labelled as autobiographical works since the author paints family members, friends, and acquaintances. »I am captivated by the power of the view as a complex process happening within as well as outside,« the author says about her works.

Uroš Weinberger (1975) is the receiver of the award at the biennial exhibition A Look 6 following the theme Me, Here, Now. His work was recognised and selected by curators of nine regional galleries from Slovenia. After five biennial exhibitions, which were dedicated to the artists from Slovenian regions of Dolenjska, Bela Krajina and Posavje, this was the first one that encompasses and addresses the developments in visual arts on a national level.
Weinberger’s awarded work entitled Acid Rain is only one piece of a larger series of works in which he reflects the situation in his own environment with great intensity. The artist thus responds to various phenomena, from ecological threats to closeness of military aggressions. With the Displaced World exhibition, Weinberger continues to explore these themes and focuses on the common denominator which speaks of the fact that we are all – every one of us – from the moment we are born to this world, constantly led and controlled; and that whatever has been going on on the global scale is not a mere coincidence.

The old town centre of Kostanjevica was declared a cultural monument in 1997 because of its long history and continuity of the settlement, spatial organisation and preservation of the original land-parcel grid.
The layout of the old town core follows the spatial organisation from the 13th century, when Kostanjevica was granted town rights.
The exhibition has been conceived with the wish to draw the attention of the public, particularly the inhabitants of Kostanjevica na Krki, to the elements of cultural heritage that are threatened. The aim of the exhibition is to encourage a responsible attitude towards heritage, which not only provides a high quality living environment, but can also be an exceptional tourism product. For this reason, accompanying events ranging from creative and educational workshops for children to a series of expert lectures, will attempt to establish a dialogue between the owners or users of the heritage of the island town, representatives of the local community and expert services.
