History
In 1991 for the first time local painters gathered under the patronage of the factory's management at Štatenberg Castle, where they painted for a week in the romantic sounding of the baroque castle and its park. They persevered in the decaying building until 1999, when they arranged improvised studios in Ptuj castle. In 2002 the painters were replaced by photographers who gathered in Ptuj and among the factory objects in Kidričevo. In 2003 the organisers gave up the customary gathering at art colonies and passed over to a repurchase system.
Location and Mission
More than 450 art works of Talum Art Collection are exhibited in the main building of Talum aluminium company in Kidričevo, being renovated in 2005 by the arhitect Janko J. Zadravec, who kept all modernistic elements of the edifice builded in middle of fourties of the last century by the arhitect Danilo Fürst. The main hall of the building is known as the gallery of the Talum Art Collection. Others art works purchased by Talum exceeded the basic intention of the collection - namely to ennoble the working environment in the Kidričevo administration building.
Talum Art Collection is focused on the collecting of regional and national artists. Starting with collecting paintings, in 2002 they focused on photographers. Last acquiration was in 2008 and focused on the medium of graphics and sculpturs. Since then faced with the economic crisis they temporarly stoped to invest in the collection, said Darko Ferlinc for Culture.si, hoping to continue with activity soon.
Artists of the Collection
