City Hall Atria

Opening of graphic design exhibition Najboljše iz Vojvodine at the City Hall Atria in 2008

The City Hall Atria is situated in Ljubljana Town Hall and consists of the Glass Atrium, the Historical Atrium, the Central Atrium and the Right Atrium.

The exhibition space is often used to showcase City of Ljubljana projects such as public competitions for best urban or architecture solutions, exhibitions prepared for different municipal anniversaries, or exhibitions in the context of international and inter-city partnerships. Besides the four atria host many monographic and group exhibitions of already established or amateur painters or sculptors. As a rule, exhibitions here are opened by the mayor of Ljubljana.

Laibach

Laibach is a retro-avant-garde music group from Trbovlje, established in 1980. Probably the most internationally acclaimed Slovene band, Laibach works as a "gesamtkunstwerk", dealing in multidisciplinary art practice and mixing their music with visual and video art, as well as with heavy political (and philosophical) undertones. The band is well known for their subtly crafted cover versions, often used to subvert the original message or intention of the song.

Since the beginning the group was associated and surrounded with controversy (their name being the historic German version of the name for the Slovene capital Ljubljana), provoking strong reactions by political authorities in former Yugoslavia. However, as of the 90s onward the band functions as a well known art institution in Slovenia and abroad.
