The Gallery of Mostovna Cultural Centre called TIR is located in a renovated former industrial building on the outskirts of Nova Gorica. The gallery, founded in 2006, is predominantly focused on presenting young and upcoming artists, both those who work in traditional media and those who use modern, technologically-based art forms, without any technical, stylistic or content limitations. The programme of the gallery is based on an open international call for exhibition projects, which is annually opened in the summer.

The gallery hosted a number of up-coming local artists and occasionally exhibits artists from abroad. As Nova Gorica and thus TIR are located just by the border with Italy, cooperation with Italian artists, institutions and audiences is a very common practice. TIR also actively collaborates with institutions like School of Arts, University of Nova Gorica and Academy of Fine Arts and Design. The exhibitions are often accompanied by music performances or poetry readings. Movie nights also regularly feature at TIR.

Exhibitions

Of the artists (photographers, painters, sculptors, multimedia producers, etc) who presented their works at TIR, one can randomly name Tomaž Šantl, Urban Kravos, Nina Bric, Nežka Zamar, Maja Poljanc, [Aljoša Kravanja], Tinka Volarič, Enej Gala, Lučka Šparovec, [Tea Curk Sorta] and Jan Outrata. The only common ground of this group that comes to the forefront is that they represent the younger generation of artists.

Some of the Italian artists on display were Roberta Buschian, Alice Pizzinato and Roberta Battiston, but there was also a number of collective shows by artists from both sides of the border. One of them, for example, was a photography project on the unitary urban space of Gorizia and Nova Gorica. It was called Open perspectives and was done as an international joint project by Galerija TIR – Mostovna, Društvo humanistov Goriške, I Cormanuti, Mittelpoint, and A.P.S. LAB – centro promozione benessere. One can as well mention a survey exhibition on graphic arts in Serbia in the 90s, which was presented by Miloš Đorđević.

Pixxelpoint International Festival of Computer Art was held at TIR in 2011, when Gülsen Bal (Turkey, UK, Austria: Open Space – Zentrum für Kunstprojekte) and BridA curated the show.

Venue

The venue is about 100m² big and incorporates about 50 linear metres of wall space. They've got a basic installation equipment like panels, hanging rods, halogen lighting system and the old hammer-and-nail installation system. The gallery is supplemented with a small stage, which can serve to many purposes.
