Events
The singing performance "non-choir" led by Tisa Neža Herlec rather deals phenomenologically with the human voice. The queer-feminist collective Grrrls, co-founded by the Carinthian-Slovenian artist Majda Krivograd, provides the music. By planting a peaceful persimmon tree, they express the rejection of nuclear weapons and even apriori rejection of peaceful nuclear energy.
Opening of the painting exhibition entitled "Fantasy beyond the visible" by Edi Žerjal.
The exhibition entitled "Coexistence in Diversity" presents painters Klementina Golija, Ina Loitzl and Klavdij Tutta. The diversity of the authors' poetics opens the space for dialogue and complementarity. The art exhibition begins with recitals by pianist Tim Jančar.
Grandiose exhibition titled »Stage rehearsal« (Stellprobe) presents a cross section of art from 15th century to 21st century, containing more then 150 art pieces. Among presented artist are two Slovenes: Maruša Sagadin and Jasmina Cibic.
Vivijana Kljun (IT) & Helmut Blažej (A) present an exhibition entitled "The Light and the Background". Both artists connect reality, memory and artistic interpretation in their works. They open up new perspectives on the landscape as a space of perception, memory and inner experience.
