Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec receives Honorable Mention in the Hybrid Art section at Ars Electronica 2010 for the work Virtual Rain (exhibited in Mala galerija in 2009)
Venue
The gallery was opened in 1952 and at first it was managed by the Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations. In 1959 the space was refurbished by the architects Oton Jugovec and Svetozar Križaj.
Programme
Beside shows of contemporary Slovene artists, the work of many prominent international artists is presented here. In spring 2009 the Mala galerija presented the new acquisitions of the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, namely the work of 3 young established Slovene artists: Miha Knific, Miha Štrukelj, and Sašo Vrabič.
In recent years the gallery gave the podium to artist as Danica Dakić, Mik Aernout, Sašo Sedlaček, Sandi Červek, Antje Ehmann (all 2008), Harun Farocki, Deimantas Narkevičius, Silvia Kolbowski, Tomislav Gotovac, Viktor Bernik (all 2009). In 2010 the Croatian artist David Maljković confronted the public of the Mala galerija with the modernistic heritage of ex Yugoslavia that has been forgotten and overlooked.
In spring each year Mala galerija is also the venue for the exhibition of the Igor Zabel Competition, an annual event dedicated to curatorial research in contemporary art, which is based on the international call for entries. The projects are selected by an international jury. In 2010 the exhibition Untaken Photographs curated by Arielle Azoulay took place; in 2009 Mercedes Vicente was selected to prepare the exhibition of New Zealand video pioneer Darcy Lange and his studies created between 1974 and 1977; in 2008 Birgit Rinagl and Franz Thalmair were the selected curators.
