History
After studios in Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone were in the middle of 90s slowly filled by artist, the Alkatraz Gallery was founded by the informal group of artists, at that time mostly students of the Department of Sculpture, Academy of Fine Arts and Design with Boštjan Drinovec and Nataša Tajnik on the head and primarily with the goal to present home production of Metelkova.
In 1998, the gallery obtained two curators, historians of art Bojana Piškur, today the senior curator of Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, and curator Jadranka Ljubičič, who is managing the Gallery since 2000. They reorganized the programme: besides exhibiting authors from Metelkova, the gallery began to feature works also of more recognized artists. In time, it expanded its horizons by hosting foreign authors.
As a non-profit space, the Alkatraz Gallery has been sponsored by the Soros Foundation from the time of its formation until its withdrawal from Slovenia. Since 1998, its has been sponsored also by the city of Ljubljana and by the Ministry of Culture of Republic of Slovenia.
Location
Exhibitions and activities
Tea parties
Commercial brunch
Since 2008 the Alkatraz Gallery is visiting international art fairs with the aim to present more radical positions of the artists that are coming out from critical or even ironical situations towards the actual global problems. Since then the Gallery attended each year one art fair: in 2008 Volta Show in Basel, and in 2009 Viennafair. Each time the Gallery presented art works of Damijan Kracina, Nika Oblak & Primož Novak and Tomaž Tomažin, who are creating in different art media from installations, drawings, photography to videos. The commercial activity is run by the current artistic director Jadranka Ljubičič.
Old material - writing in the process
The building, which is continuously under construction, is covered almost entirely with mosaics and different sculptures. The gallery programme presents emerging artists as well as international artists along with several other events, eg lectures and discussions accompanied by poster exhibitions. Alkatraz Gallery has been presented at the Sao Paulo Biennial and in New York.
