Programme
Before 2017
The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana public institute co-produced many exhibition projects exclusively for the Jakopič Gallery, covering mainly visual arts, but also paying significant attention to performance and multimedia projects. Besides contemporary art production, it highlighted historical authors and phenomena with the aim to serve as a bridge between contemporary art practices and the mission of museums.
The exhibitions which gained significant attention include Two Spanish Masters in Ljubljana, introducing Pablo Picasso's prints in the City Museum of Ljubljana and Antoni Clavé's works from 1934 to 2002 in the Jakopič Gallery; followed by the travelling exhibition Bauhaus Twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy – Photographs by Gordon Watkinson, which marked the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus and was co-produced by Foto+Synthesis, the National Gallery of Slovenia and Goethe-Institut Ljubljana.
Focus on Photography
Staging several exhibitions by a number of Slovenian and globally acclaimed photographers through the years, the programme of Jakopič Gallery gradually became centred on photography exclusively, ranging from photojournalism to art photography. In recent years, extensive exhibitions have been held by photographers such as Lee Miller, Josef Koudelka, Marc Riboud, Sebastião Salgado, and Lucien Hervé, as well as by important Slovenian photographers such as Tihomir Pinter and Damjan Gale.
Another programme focus within the spectrum of photography is the focus on contemporary Slovenian photographers, beginning in 2019 with exhibitions by DK and Jaka Babnik.
Educational programmes and other events
Jakopič Gallery holds year-long education programmes for adults, as well as programmes for children and students, attempting to expand their understanding of photography. Lectures, concerts, round tables and other presentations are also organised.
The Sound Explicit Festival, a series of experimental sound events, is held at the Jakopič Gallery since 2011, organised by P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute.
Reading room and mediatheque
In 2010, the Gallery cooperated with MoTA Museum of Transitory Art in establishing a reading room and mediatheque on contemporary arts, architecture, and design. It is dedicated to the memory of the architect and writer Tomaž Brate (1963–2008), whose books form the core of this collection.
