Media Nox Gallery originated as Galerija 88, the first alternative gallery and civil society movement venue in Maribor. Established in 1988 at Orožnova Street, Galerija 88 later became part of the MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre and was renamed Media Nox in 1998. In 2000 it moved with MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre to new facilities at Židovska ulica 12.




Activities

Media Nox Gallery seeks to showcase the development of new artistic scenes. It presents work of various media, including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and design, mostly through group exhibitions by young emerging artists, theme-related exhibitions, and exchange exhibitions (such as the Maribor/Graz exchange with Austria). It also serves as a venue for lectures, literary events, concerts, and screenings organised by MKC Maribor in cooperation with various cultural organisations.

Background

At the end of 2020, it celebrated its 30th anniversary. Its programmatic and spatial predecessor was Gallery 88. Media Nox, which means midnight in Latin, was the name Nadja Čobal came up with. She was the original creator of the new program design of the Media Nox Gallery. In the first year of its operation, a series of exhibitions were organized by students of the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design, especially postgraduate students, members of the generation that later established itself in the Slovenian art scene (Samuel Grajfoner, Darko Golija, etc.). The initiator's primary focus was to present as many talented young artists as possible from different backgrounds but also to expose to the public young Maribor artists.
