Background
The venue is located at the premises of the former Maribor textile factory MTT, which was closed in the 1990s and remained unused until its current transformation. Its vast grounds were revitalised as KIBLA Portal when Maribor was the European Capital of Culture 2012, the venue opened in November 2012 with Soft Control: Art, Science and the Technological Unconscious – an international art exhibition with a conference, workshops, and lectures.
Programme
The KIBLA Portal has displayed a very diverse set of works, ideas, and performances. Most of its exhibition projects have a distinctively international character and an interdisciplinary approach.
The display titled Materiality in the Portal presented its topic – the concept of materiality – through a diverse set of works that featured side by side the established canon of Slovenian and international art as well as the works of young and promising authors – and also some almost forgotten and overlooked artists.
Festivals and other events at KIBLA Portal
Since 2013, the Maribor Electronic Destination International Festival (MED) takes place at Portal, as does the KIBLIX Festival. In 2013 and 2015, respectively, the KIBLIX Festival merged its efforts with the International Festival of Computer Arts (IFCA) and staged a joint festival venture.
