Programme
Between 2008 and the beginning of 2010 the gallery exhibited 12 complex projects covering the field of art, design, photography, and new media, but also painting, sculpture and graphic art. Most of them were prepared in the cooperation with other national and international partners. In 2009 it was also one of locations of the Ljubljana International Biennial of Graphic Art.
Since 2010 Jakopič Gallery is presenting more own production and projects realized in co-productions. It further covers mainly visual arts, but pays more attention to the performance and multimedia projects. Besides contemporary art production it pays as well attention on the peaks of the close art history authors and phenomena. The aim is to be the platform in Ljubljana offering the bridge between the contemporary art practices and the mission of museums.
In 2010 the first exhibition project of Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana was exhibition entitled Two Spanish masters, two pinnacles of European 20th century art, introducing two Spanish masters: Pablo Picasso's graphics, and in the Jakopič Gallery an exhibition of Antoni Clavé's works created between 1934 and 2002. It was followed by the travelling exhibition entitled Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy – Photographs by Gordon Watkinson, which marked the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. Watkinson exhibition was a project of Foto+synthesis, Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, National Gallery of Slovenia and Goethe Institut Ljubljana.
Beside exhibiting programme Jakopič Gallery organizes lectures, concerts, round tables and other presentations that enrich the exhibiting part of a programme.
Reading room and mediatheque
Jakopič Gallery serves also as an information point for the MoTA - Museum of Transitory Art activities. The first common project was the establishment of a reading room and mediatheque on contemporary arts, architecture and design in 2010. It is dedicated to the memory of the architect and publicist Tomaž Brate (1963–2008), whose books form the core of this collection.
