A lecture/panel with art historian Beti Žerovc (Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana) entitled Learning from Yugoslavia in the frame of the exhibition Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980
History
Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana
The museum was initiated by the art historian, critic, writer, and diplomat Izidor Cankar, following the receipt of a generous grant from the heirs of industrialist Dragotin Hribar. Designed by architect Edvard Ravnikar (1907–1993) in the 1930s – before his studies in Paris with Le Courbusier, when he still followed the classicist principles of Jože Plečnik – construction on the museum was halted during WWII, leading to its official opening in 1948.
Over the years Moderna galerija has presented numerous important exhibitions, many of which have been pivotal in the development of Slovene art. Such exhibitions include the Slovene Impressionists exhibition of 1949, which constituted an important victory over extreme ideological dogma; the exhibition of Riko Debenjak and Stane Kregar of 1953, which brought abstract art to a wider audience; the Henry Moore exhibition of 1955, which gave powerful stimulus to modernist tendencies; and the first Ljubljana International Biennial of Graphic Art of the same year, which spurred the inception of numerous biennials around the globe.
Collections
In addition to studying, collecting, and presenting 20th-century Slovene art, Moderna galerija is responsible for maintaining and constantly developing the national collection of 20th-century and 21st-century Slovene art. Moderna galerija's holdings in 2009 included: 502 sculptures, 1,301 paintings, 3,079 prints by Slovene and foreign artists, 11,069 drawings, and approximately 2,000 photographs, as well as some representative works of new media art and Video, and Internet projects.
Permanent collection
In August 2011 a new permanent display of the selected works from the Moderna galerija collection was opened. Under the title 20th Century / Continuities and Ruptures the exhibition abandons the chronological order and introduces the 20th-century avant-gardes and the art of the Partisan resistance to the national history of art on equal terms as the more familiar trends. The main novelties are the presentation of the avant-garde of the 1920s and the second reconstruction of the Trieste Constructivist Space (1927), supervised by Dragan Živadinov and Miha Turšič from the Delak Institute, the art of the Partisan resistance, photography, and an overview of the art system in Slovenia in the 20th century. The exhibition was designed by Novi kolektivizem (NK) and conceived by art historians Sergej Kapus, Miklavž Komelj, and Beti Žerovc in collaboration with the Moderna galerija curators.
International works
Another line of the international collection of the gallery is comprised of art works from the 1990s: Miroslaw Balka, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Cristina Iglesias, Anish Kapoor, Ulf Rollof, and others. The third line of the Moderna galerija international collection contains 136 works of 20th-century artists from the territories of former Yugoslavia, including important works by artists such as Jovan Bijelić, Dušan Džamonja, Oton Gliha, Ljubo Ivančić, Frano Kršinić, Petar Lubarda, Nikola Martinoski, Ivan Meštrović, Pedja Milosavljević, Miroslav Šutej, and Vladimir Veličković.
Photography collection
Since 1991 Moderna galerija has also collected photographs by Slovene photographers from the period between the two world wars, works by contemporary Slovene photographers, and works by some international photographers who have exhibited at the Moderna galerija (Thierry Girard, Timo Kelaranta, Cesare Pietroiusti, Armin Linke, Andres Serrano). Because of their importance and quantity, the works of Fran Krašovec (1892–1969), considered the pioneer of modern photography in Slovenia, represent a large part of the collection.
New media collection
A collection of new media art is currently taking shape through the acquisition of video works, films, moving images installations, and Internet projects. It already comprises representative works that are good examples of the development of media art in Slovenia and presents, despite their relatively small number, a varied picture in terms of generation, expression, and technological approach.
Programme
In addition to its role as the Museum of Modern Art, Moderna galerija also functions as a temporary exhibition gallery which hosts survey or retrospective exhibitions of works by key Slovene artists of the 20th century, as well as exhibitions of contemporary domestic and international art.
In the last two decades, the significance of the international exhibition programme in the work of the Moderna galerija has grown considerably and major names in the contemporary world art are regularly presented in individual and group exhibitions like Body and the East – From the 1960s to the Present (1998), Form Specific/Arteast Exhibition (2003), 7Sins: Ljubljana – Moscow (curated by Zdenka Badovinac, Victor Misiano, and Igor Zabel), or Interrupted Histories (2006). Since 1994 Moderna galerija served also as a venue for its U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts.
