The venues
Founded in 1976, the Bežigrajska galerija at Dunajska Street has been since 1996 a branch of the City Art Gallery Ljubljana. In 2002 the gallery opened its second space nearby at Vodovodna Street, so called Bežigrajska galerija 2. The space on Dunajska is since than known as Bežigrajska galerija 1 and operates on the old location. Since the City Art Gallery Ljubljana and the City Museum of Ljubljana merged into a new public institute in 2009, the Bežigrajska galerija 1 and 2 operate under the umbrella of the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana as its autonomous unities.
Programme and exhibitions
In its both spaces Bežigrajska galerija hosts approximately twelve exhibitions annually, some in the cooperation with major museums and galleries in Slovenia and abroad. The exhibition program can be roughly divided into three categories: solo exhibitions of younger artists in Bežigrajska galerija 1 (Vesna Čadež, Barbara Eva Zavodnik) or young established and well known artists (Milan Golob, Peter Ciuha). The larger venue of both Bežigrad units, the Bežigrajska galerija 2 offers solo exhibitions mostly to well-known Slovenian artists as recently to Jože Slak, Živko Marušič, and Dušan Kirbiš.
The Bežigrajska galerija has been introducing multimedia installations since the 1980s, including sound landscapes, contemporary and experimental music, video, and experimental film. The gallery stages also multimedia events, concerts and since 2003 also the international experimental music festival O-zvočenje.
Bežigrajska galerija presents also an annual international video Festival Nature, based on the images or elements found in nature. The 6th edition in 2009 presented 14 mostly young video artists. In 2008 the festival featured among others also the video A Listening Human by Miha Vipotnik, one of the three Slovene video art pioneers. Within this frame the Bežigrajska galerija featured in 2005 a topical group exhibition of 11 Slovene established sculptors of different generations (Mirsad Begić, Jakov Brdar, Mojca Smerdu, Damijan Kracina, Primož Pugelj, and Urša Toman - Drinovec).
Every year it also stages a traditional show entitled From Sketch to Puppet. In 2009 Barbara Bulatović exhibited in both spaces the selection of her drawings, sketches, and puppets created mostly between 1997 and 2006, including works from the performance the Child and the World [Otrok in svet], bestowed with the Little Prince Award in 1998.
Collections
Visual and Concrete Poetry
The collection is based on the works collected by a poet and mail-artist Franci Zagoričnik (1933–1997) over a period of thirty years and expands also to the international part and the works of other Slovene visual and concrete poetry artists.
There is no permanent display but over 15 survey exhibitions have been prepared in the recent years. Some were dedicated also to the opuses of the individual artists such as Matjaž Hanžek, Nejč Slapar and Jaka Železnikar. In 2009, for example, the international group exhibition Poetry Posters addressed the obsoleteness of this medium since the digitalization. It featured also the very first poetry posters created in Slovenia in the 1970s by Miha Avanzo (in cooperation with Zdravko Papič and Lidija Starc) or famous poetry posters published by the Mladina Magazine (1982–84).
Images of Notations
The collection comprises the works of important Slovenian and foreign composers that have abandoned the traditional notation and invented their own systems of graphic notations, now understood as original works of fine art. It contains over 100 scores by 80 composers of experimental music including John Cage, Vinko Globokar, Charles Ives, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Ianis Xenakis. Works are executed in various techniques as drawing, collage, mixed media on paper, etc. Included in the collection there are also sound recordings of the compositions and concert videos.
As the collection cannot be permanently displayed the Gallery has prepared several thematic exhibitions in the last 15 years, showing the works also in other venues such as the Media Nox Gallery in Maribor.
