Founded in 1997 within the premises of the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Nova Gorica, the Nova Gorica City Gallery has since developed into one of the most high-profile contemporary arts spaces in the Goriška region. Initially operating under the auspices of the Goriška Museum, it was transferred to the management of Nova Gorica Arts Centre in 2000. The specific circular shape of the 361-square-metre space represents a special creative challenge for artists, and enables a very personal experience of the artworks.


Programme

Nova Gorica City Gallery engages in solo and group exhibitions of established Slovene artists and artist groups as well as international exhibitions curated by Slovene and guest curators, presenting up to 10 exhibitions each year. The gallery's exhibition programme includes all genres of contemporary art; projects are selected according to their quality, their originality of ideas, and their achievements in relation to contemporary art movements. The gallery seeks to present a complex, quality-based view of the Slovene and foreign artistic production, as well as paying attention to artists from the area of Nova Gorica.

Exhibitions

The year 2008 saw a rich programme of solo exhibitions by Aleksij Kobal, Lujo Vodopivec, and Bojan Štokelj. Notable group exhibitions included Aesthetics of the New Millennium (Selected Works of Slovenian Contemporary Art from the City Gallery Collection): Uršula Berlot, Viktor Bernik, Miha Boljka, Boštjan Drinovec, Arjan Pregl, Primož Pugelj, Miha Štrukelj, Sašo Vrabič) and a multimedia exhibition entitled Data Collision of Hans H. Diebner, Florian Grond, BridA, Dragan Živadinov.

In 2009, the group exhibition Eros Kalos curated by Brane Kovič featured erotic motives in 38 graphic and photographic works of such world-renowned artists as Nobuyoshi Araki, Nan Goldin, André Masson, Helmut Newton, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray – Emmanuel Rudnitsky, Pierre-Auguste Renior, Egon Schiele, Jeanloup Sieff, Miroslav Šutej, Shu Takahashi, Sam Taylor-Wood, Andy Warhol, and Tom Wesselmann.

The 2010 line-up of solo exhibitions include Slovene artists Duša Jesih, Mitja Ficko, and Roberto Kusterle as well as a group exhibition entitled Wild in Heart featuring Aleksij Kobal, Silvester Plotajs Sicoe, Jurij Kalan and Mirko Bratuša.

Other activities

As well as mounting exhibitions, Nova Gorica City Gallery is the site of various talks on contemporary visual arts, fine arts workshops for children, and guided exhibition tours for the public.
