Programme
Significant international exhibitions included Continuity of Modernism, Fragments of Croatian Architecture from Modernity to 2010 organised in collaboration with Oris Magazine, and most recent Alptraum exhibition conceived by artist Marcus Sendlinger from Berlin who this time invited 17 artists from Slovenia to expand his collection of artists' visions of a nightmare.
The RE:akt! Reconstruction, Re−enactment, Re−reporting exhibition curated by the Italian curator Domenico Quaranta, produced by Aksioma Institute and initially shown at the Škuc Gallery in Ljubljana, explored the re-enacting of the selected historical events as a means to confront current ideological and intellectual canons, power structures, policies, and distribution channels in contemporary arts.
UMG Studio is one of the venues of International Festival of Computer Arts (IFCA), the longest - running Computer Arts Festival in Slovenia.
A note: During 2012 the Rotož Exhibition Salon functioned as an Information Point and exhibition venue Salon EPK of the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012.
Background
The Rotovž Salon exhibition space was opened in 1966 as an independent institution. It was located in the newly renovated premises of the old Maribor Town Hall ('Rotovž') at Rotovški Square. The gallery was managed by the Maribor Fine Artists Society.
Since the foundation of the New Rotovž gallery in 1980, these premises were colloquially called the old Rotovž.Maribor Art Gallery took care of the old Rotovž until 2009, when the Municipality of Maribor took it over.
In 1980 the New Rotovž exhibition center was opened at the Trg Vita Kraigherja square (today Trg Leona Štuklja) as an additional modernist space for presenting contemporary visual art in the very centre of the city. It was an independent institution until it was merged with Maribor Art Gallery (UGM) in 1985. The New Rotovž was renamed UGM Studio in 2014. Since 2025 also this space has been managed by the Municipality of Maribor.
