Match Gallery in Ljubljana, 2009

Established in 2007 in the space of the former City Museum of Ljubljana Cultural and Information Centre and managed by the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, the Vžigalica Gallery (Matchstick Gallery) is a venue for exhibitions, round-table discussions, lectures, and presentations reflecting predominantly the current art production.

Its activities are conceived in collaboration with contemporary artists, art institutions and producers – mostly Slovene, but also international. The programme is based on an annual call for applications, usually published in August or September.

Exhibitions and events

The gallery has featured the latest works of Slovene artists of the younger generation such as Manja Vadla, Sašo Vrabič, Urša Vidic, and Meta Grgurevič. The SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts has already prepared several projects in the Vžigalica Gallery – in 2010, for example, it served as an SCCA/Service Information and Consulting Platform with the Artservis, Cultural Contact Point Slovenia, ArtsLink Awards, and Slovene ALF Contact Point. Vžigalica Gallery also hosted the re.act.feminism, Performative Art of the 60s and 70s by the City of Women Association for Promotion of Women in Culture and Lighting Guerrilla Festival by Strip Core.
