Opening of the Prepletanja exhibition in the Monfort Gallery in Portoro\u017e<\/b><\/p>\n
The 2025 Exhibition Programme in the Monfort Gallery in Portoro\u017e opens with the introduction of the first of two of last year\u2019s winning projects of the <\/span>Odprta vrata (Open Doors) <\/span><\/i>public call. The group exhibition entitled <\/span>Prepletanja<\/i><\/b> (<\/span>Intertwining<\/span><\/i>) will present 12<\/span> Istrian artists of the younger generation. They all come from Istria which has always been an area of intertwined and fragmented entities as well as diverse political and cultural influences. The historical marginalisation of the Croatian part of Istria is also reflected in contemporary art where young artists, despite their excellence and innovativeness, operate within the local scene and remain without the appropriate valorisation in the wider national and international contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n The exhibition was created as a collaboration between the Piran Coastal Galleries and the Labin Town Gallery and is an exemplary case of international cooperation. It unites young Istrian artists who, with diverse approaches and concepts, create in non-traditional media. The exhibition is the space of a dynamic dialogue between personal expressions and common cultural and social themes artists devote special attention to: the topic of migrations, environmental issues, and scientific-research themes. The curator of the exhibition, which will be open for visitors in the Monfort Gallery from 4 April until 25 May 2025, is Stephanie Per\u0161i\u0107, while the exhibitors are: Alex Brajkovi\u0107, Eni Bla\u0161kovi\u0107, Glorija Blazin\u0161ek, Meri Files, Alison Iva\u0161i\u0107, Anja Juri\u010di\u0107, Gaia Radi\u0107, Gea Raji\u0107, Marina Raj\u0161i\u0107, Dora Ramljak and Nina Turina, and Karmen Bradovent. <\/span><\/p>\n More information at\u2026<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Opening of the Bojan Mijatovi\u010d exhibition at the Meduza Gallery in Koper<\/b><\/p>\n At the end of April, Bojan Mijatovi\u0107 will exhibit at the Meduza Gallery in Koper.

The exhibition is a rare opportunity to view a segment of the artistic heritage stored in depots and in a way reveals the character integrity of the past collecting policy of the Piran Coastal Galleries. <\/span><\/p>\n More information at \u2026<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A small group exhibition entitled <\/span>Paintresses from the Littoral from the Collections of the Piran Coastal Galleries <\/i><\/b>is on display at the <\/span>Meduza Gallery in Koper<\/b> until 13 April 2025.
