Air, an exhibition of works by Anka Krasna, Katja Smerdu, Vanja Mervic, Boštjan Drinovec, Marija Prelog and Nika Autor (May Salon), organised in cooperation with Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations (ZDSLU),
Venue
Through the 1980s and 1990s the May Salon usually took place at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana and at Jakopič Gallery. In 2005 it was hosted for the first time by four galleries on the Slovene coast, and co-organised by Insula-Obala Visual Artists Association. Since then the May Salon has been the guest of different institutions around Slovenia: in Grad Gallery in Slovenska Bistrica (2006), in Murska Sobota Gallery (2007), in Lendava-Lendva Gallery and Museum (2008), in Gorenjska Museum (2009), etc.
Focus
For years the May Salon exhibited the ZDSLU members' works without a thematic or conceptual focus. In the 1990s it became a curated exhibition, based on a theme or medium. Between 1997 and 1999 the focus was based on the type of media: new media (1997), sculpture (1998), painting (1999). In 2000 the theme was Primordial Touch [Prvinski dotik]. In 2003 all 110 works were again shown unselected. The 2004 May Salon presented the work of 130 artists from all of the Slovene regions under the name POP; with "P" for Pomembno ("Interesting") or Prešerno ("Merry"); "O" for Odlično ("Excellent") or Odvisno ("Dependent") and "P" for Prezrto ("Overlooked") and Pozabljeno ("Forgotten"). The edition of 2008 in Lendava featured 121 artists and was again more free (entitled Freedom of Creation [Svoboda ustvarjanja]). In 2009 the May Salon exhibited works of 137 artist and again offered the theme: My Image [Moja podoba].
