Dialog, an exhibition by Matej Čepin and Tomaž Milač at Media Nox Gallery, 2017. Media Nox Gallery originated as Galerija 88, the first alternative gallery and civil society movement venue in Maribor. Established in 1988 at Orožnova Street, Galerija 88 later became part of the MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre and was renamed Media Nox in 1998. In 2000 it moved with MKC Maribor Youth Culture Centre to new facilities at Židovska ulica 12.

Media Nox Gallery seeks to showcase the development of new artistic scenes. It presents work of various media, including painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and design, mostly through group exhibitions by young emerging artists, theme-related exhibitions, and exchange exhibitions (such as the Maribor/Graz exchange with Austria). It also serves as a venue for lectures, literary events, concerts, and screenings organised by MKC Maribor in cooperation with various cultural organisations.

In the previous years the programme has included an installation by Tacita Dean, sculpture by Franc Purg, jewellery by Lara Bohinc 107, photography by Luciano Kleva, and recent work by Belgrade cartoonists. Recently the gallery has focused on presenting emerging artists including the students of the Faculty of Education, University of Maribor and curated by Mario Berdič.

Background

At the end of 2020, it will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Its programmatic and spatial predecessor was Gallery 88. Media Nox, which means midnight in Latin, was the name Nadja Ćobal came up with. She was the original creator of the new program design of the Media Nox Gallery. In the first year of its operation, a series of exhibitions were organized by students of the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design, especially postgraduate students, members of the generation that will create the Slovenian art scene in the future (S. Grajfoner, D. Golija, etc.). The initiator's initial wish was to present as many talented young artists as possible from different backgrounds and also represent young Maribor artists. In 1996, together with the Youth Cultural Center Maribor, the gallery had to move out of Orožnova Street, and by 2000 it had existed as an online gallery. Since November 2000 has a new gallery space in the Jewish Square. The first exhibition to open new premises was the exhibition of the Department of Pedagogy of Art in Faculty of Pedagogy, University of Maribor. The gallery also followed its original goal in the new location, presenting quality local and foreign young artists. In terms of content, it also focused on intermedia exhibitions, digital projects, performances.
