Exhibitions
Focused on contemporary photography by Slovene and other photographers of Central and Eastern European regions, Photon Gallery prepares both solo and group exhibitions, at a frequency of approximately one exhibition monthly. Recently the gallery has exhibited works of the young Slovene artist Špela Volčič, a representative of the new wave photography Vanja Bučan, as well as work of Tomo Brejc, a photographer of the young established generation. Beside exhibitions of established artists such as Stane Jagodič, the gallery also presents artists of older, classical Slovene photography: in 2009 the gallery featured the series entitled Vanishing by Janez Korošin.
Beside solo exhibitions, Photon Gallery is also known for its themed group shows like Early 80s Music Scene (2008), Laibach-Focus (2004) or Contemporary Erotic Photography (2008) prepared in cooperation with Primož Lampič, the head of the photography department of the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAD) (then the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana). The exhibition in 2008 featured works by Goran Bertok, Matjaž Prešeren, Jure Breceljnik, Voranc Vogel, Rajko Bizjak, and the tandem Barbara Jakše and Stane Jeršič.
The nude in photography is an often-present theme in the gallery's programme. In 2007 the Photon Gallery first introduced the Slovene public to the work of the notorious Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki with a selection from his Pola Eros series. Recently the gallery also featured photography of French artists Enna Chaton and Italian photographer Luca Donnini, whose works expresses the unusual presence of a highly involved voyeur – both solo exhibitions were featured in 2009, the last one within the programme of the Red Dawn International Women's Festival in the Autonomous Cultural Centre Metelkova mesto in Ljubljana.
Photon Gallery cooperates intensively with national and international institutions. In the summer of 2009 it featured the group exhibition Camera Obscura – Autoportrait of the Students of Photography from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. In early 2010, in collaboration with Nessim Gallery from Budapest, the gallery presented the renowned Hungarian contemporary photo artist Gabor Kerekes with the series Over Roswell and a selection of other works.
Ljubljana Month of Photography and Photonic Moments
Inspired by events that took place in 2004 in a number of European cities under the name "European Month of Photography", Photon Gallery initiated the "Ljubljana Month of Photography". Each year the event focuses on a presentation of contemporary trends in photography from Slovenia and other countries of the region. The 2006 programme involved a total of almost 20 exhibitions and accompanying events in the Slovenia capital. In the last three editions, the "Month of Photography" encompassed a yearly average of 30 exhibitions as well as related events, such as a symposium entitled "Discussions on Contemporary Photography", etc. Within the event the Photo Exhibition of the Year Award is granted.
The most significant annual production project of Photon Gallery is the exhibition entitled Photonic Moments, which shows works of young and emerging artists from athe Central and South-eastern European region selected by international curators. In 2006, Photonic Moments became the official exhibition of the "Month of Photography" festival. The first edition of Photonic Moments featured 40 artists from 8 countries, the second edition showed works of Damjan Kocjančič, Tomo Brejc, Andrej Osterman, Damjan Švarc and international artists such as Joszef Bartha, Alexander Valchev, Boriana Rossa, Anna Orlikowska, Sitara Ibrahimowa and many others. The fourth edition in 2008 gathered artists from 6 countries (Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia and Turkey) including Primož Bizjak, Maša Bajc, Ektor Dimissianos, Marko Ercegović, Valentino Bilić Prcić, Špela Volčič and others. The Photonic Moments exhibition often tours throughout Europe.
Video in progress and Photonic Luminatic
In 2006 the Gallery introduced the programme entitled Video in progress, consisting of presentation of contemporary video art. The focus of the first year was on video artists from the region, for the second year more conceptual criteria were used.
As the intersection between photography and video, the Photon Gallery prepares annually since 2008 the exhibition entitled Photonic Luminatic. It goes about an overview introducing the selection of Slovenian artists who use medium of photography and video for research and creative endeavour in the broader context of the visual arts. The selection for the show is traditionally done by Dejan Sluga, the director of the Photon Gallery, video artists are selected by Vesna Bukovec and Metka Zupanič. The first edition focused in the phenomenon of the new documentary photography within the contemporary artistic practise with the aim to show how the photography continues to become increasingly relevant as a completely independent artistic medium, and it is additionally evermore used as a tool for the presentation of various multi- and inter-media projects. Within the selection of 15 artists was as well works of Bojan Salaj, Borut Peterlin, and Tomo Brejc. In 2009 the show featured beside 14 photographers also vidos of Zmago Lenardič & Jasna Hribernik, group Kolektiva, Polonca Lovšin, Anja Medved, Tanja Lazetić, and Dejan Habicht.
Sales service and international art fairs
The Photon Gallery represents almost 40 national and international artists. The works that could be commissioned from the gallery are documented on the Gallery website. Since few years it visits regularly the international art fairs using the strategy of the curated presentation based on thematic frame. Until now the gallery presented itself on Viennafair and Berliner Liste, where the Gallery booth opened topics of death, death-wish and dark sexual desires. The presentation under the title Thanatos featured 4 photo-artists (Bojan Salaj, Tomo Brejc, Goran Bertok, and Gyula Fodor) and the video group Kolektiva showing a kind of bizarre video, demonstrating how an art institution is swallowed by a giant vagina.
