OCTOBER \u2013 NOVEMBER 2026 PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nina Mr\u0161nik\u2019s solo exhibition at the Lo\u017ea Gallery in Koper <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

After more than a decade working on the projects Kobeiagi Kilims<\/em> and Pe\u010deno pohi\u0161tvo<\/em>, designer Nina Mr\u0161nik is entering a new phase of her creative practice. The exhibition entitled The Apartment<\/em> at the Lo\u017ea Gallery in Koper<\/strong> is a space for questioning and reassembly, raising questions about what it means to be a woman designer over forty in Slovenia\u2019s post-industrial environment, where to position oneself after completing long-term projects, and under what economic conditions it is even possible to sustain a creative practice today?
\nThe starting point of the exhibition The Apartment<\/em> is personal, but it opens onto broader questions of dwelling, survival and the conditions under which creative work can become, or remain, a way of life. Reflection on design is therefore inseparable from the material and economic circumstances that enable, or restrict, a creator\u2019s ability to devote time, space and perseverance to their work. The exhibition, featuring an original installation conceived by the artist, will open on Friday, 23 October 2026, at 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photographic works by the IRWIN group at the Piran Civic Gallery <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition IRWIN: Photographic Work<\/strong> presents a selection of photographic works created over four decades of activity by one of Slovenia\u2019s most significant art groups on the international contemporary art scene, either as documents of artistic interventions, performances and temporary installations or as independent works of art. The Slovenian art collective<\/strong> IRWIN\u00a0<\/strong>thus brings photography to the fore as one of the central, yet previously less prominent, strands of its artistic practice.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, which was on view between May and September 2026 at the City Museum of Ljubljana,<\/strong> will reveal how IRWIN uses photography as a means of documentation, transformation and conceptual reflection, and how it places it in relation to the symbolic and political contexts of images. At a time of rising nationalism and distorted historical narratives, it will invite visitors to consider the images on display, and perhaps photographic images in general, as fields in which meaning is arbitrarily redistributed and rewritten, and the politics of representation is continually re-established. The project is a visiting exhibition organised through collaboration between Piran Coastal Galleries and MGML Ljubljana as part of the 2027 programme<\/strong>, and is carried out in partnership with the Projekt Atol Institute<\/strong>. A survey catalogue has also been published to accompany the exhibition and will be presented as part of the winter programme of accompanying events. The curator of the exhibition, which will open on Friday, 6 November 2026, at 6 p.m., is Hana \u010ceferin. It will be on view at the Piran Civic Gallery until 11 April 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Eighth edition of Spekula<\/em> at the Meduza Gallery in Koper<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The eighth edition of Spekula<\/em> is based on its own ideas and on a response to trends in collective thought, recognising the importance of developing an idea into a tangible material form. The title Non-objective Materiality<\/em> expresses a set of ideas that moves beyond the realm of thought and becomes reality as a consequence of actions. At a time when the machine intertwines with human creativity, imagination and visions, scientists and developers of advanced technologies question their own actions and, in a sense, share responsibility with the wider public. In this spirit, the artists participating in the exhibition also present their visions and stagings: Ulay, \u017divko Maru\u0161i\u010d, Igor Andjeli\u0107<\/strong> and Tilen \u017dbona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition Non-objective Materiality<\/em> presents a series of artworks that invite us to examine the actions and ideas of the featured artists more closely and, in the spirit of Spekula, convey a wide range of artistic perspectives and different approaches to creative work. The exhibition, which we are preparing in collaboration with UP PEF VUO, will open at the Meduza Gallery in Koper on Thursday, 12 November 2026, at 7 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Group exhibition Venustas \u2013 The Poetics of Architects<\/em> at the Herman Pe\u010dari\u010d Gallery in Piran<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Architectural creation neither begins nor ends with designing buildings or shaping space. Behind plans, floor plans and models stands a creative individual whose way of thinking often transcends the boundaries of architecture and finds expression through fine art and other visual media. Drawing, painting, photography and other visual works are not merely accompaniments to architectural practice, but independent ways of exploring space, light, form, human beings and the world.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, conceived by Uro\u0161 Lobnik and Robert Potokar and produced by the DESSA Gallery in Ljubljana, presents this less familiar yet essential part of architects\u2019 creative work.<\/p>\n

The series of two exhibitions presents a total of 10 practitioners working in architecture, landscape architecture and scenography. The first exhibition, which we will open on Friday, 20 November 2026, at 6.30 p.m. at the Herman Pe\u010dari\u010d Gallery<\/strong>, features: Peter Gabrijel\u010di\u010d, Meta Ho\u010devar, Uro\u0161 Lobnik, Tanja Simoni\u010d Koro\u0161ak and Robert Potokar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
