Background
The gallery first opened its doors in 1992 in Madrid, inside a space divided by a corridor (hence the name A+A) restored by architect Boris Podrecca. After five years of activities co-ordinated by Lidija Šircelj, the gallery moved to Venice, near Palazzo Grassi.
Exhibition policy and programme
In addition to its participation in the Venice Biennial, the gallery operates year-round to host temporary solo and group exhibitions of mostly Slovene artists. As part of its exhibition programme the gallery has established a network of contacts between civic and foreign institutions and organises round tables, performances and video projections, thus offering a panoramic view of today's artistic expression and a point of meeting, exchange and critical dialogue.
Venice Art Biennial participation
At the 53rd Venice Art Biennial in 2009, Miha Štrukelj's project x=0 / y=0: Interferences in Process. He examined the issue of perception in five equal segments: notes on a board, drawings, works on tracing paper, Lego-pictures and paintings as the final segment. This work was further based on researching the mechanism of perception, which Štrukelj analyses with the aid of traditional representational media – painting and drawing – but so as to include critical examination of the act of perception and the act of painting as committed existential acts of the contemporary subject.
At the 52nd Venice Art Biennial in 2007 Tobias Putrih featured in two-parts the project Venetian, Atmospheric. The first part of the installation, exhibited inside the gallery, included several maquettes, drawings, photographs, and sculptures which explored and questioned the relationship between architectural space and the scale models which precede it. The second, main part of the project was set up in a garden on the Island of San Servolo and consisted of a full-scale pavillion, a movie theatre.
Ten years after Russian-born artist Vadim Fiškin represented Russia in 1995 at the Venice Biennial, Fiškin's project Another Speedy Day was presented in the Slovene Pavillion at the 51st edition of the biennial. After forging professional and personal bonds in Slovenia he has become considered as a Slovene artist whose presence in Ljubljana contributes significantly to expanding the field of contemporary art in Slovenia.
Venice Architecture Biennial presentations
In 2008 the project Ljubljana – Venice: Urgent Need for New Urban Policy presented an architectural and urban comparison of the two cities, Ljubljana and Venice, focusing on the limit between the old and new, endeavouring to show in what ways the infrastructure, which should be invisible, can affect the visible, and how the technotecture can smother real architecture. On the 10th Venice Architecture Biennial in 2006, Slovene participation was designed as a cabinet of ambient environments and icons entitled Formula New Ljubljana created by the Sadar-Vuga Arhitekti in A+A Gallery and other locations in Venice.
Other exhibitions
In 2008 A+A Gallery presented the exhibition The Partisans in Print: Slovenian Partisan Press & Graphic Art since 1941, curated by Donovan Pavlinec, featuring previously unpublished material in Italy: Slovene Partisan press, incisions, xylography, wartime banknotes and bills of exchange with reproductions of the patriotic activists designed by Slovenian artists and architects. Organised in co-operation with the International Centre of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana, in collaboration with the Slovenia's National Museum of Contemporary History, the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue offered a rare opportunity for scholars and members of the public to peruse visual testimony of social and political engagement at a critical moment in history.
In 2006 the show KID DOG by a group of Slovene graphic designers and illustrators (Miha Grobler, Matej Koren, Marjan Kos, Gregor Žakelj). Solo or tandem presentations of the recent dates: Majda Skrinar, Vojko Tominc, Cveto Marsič, Zoran Mušič, Damijan Kracina and Vladimir Leben, Tomo Podgornik and Emerik Bernard, Polonca Lovšin and Tomaž Tomažin, Huiqin Wang, Zora Stančič, etc.
