Established in 2003, the Galerija Fotografija ('Photography Gallery') is beside the Photon Gallery one of the two on the photography specialized private galleries in Ljubljana. Located in the first floor of the medieval house in the old Ljubljana centre, the Gallery aims at popularisation of high-quality photography of established Slovene and international authors. Alongside up to 8 exhibition annual the Gallery organises also lectures, screenings of the masters and project presentations. The Gallery entered the international art market in 2009, participating on the Viennafair.


Programme

Solo exhibitions

The recent programme has been dedicated mostly to the presentation of the international established artists such as Helmut Newton, Paul Serrada, Angelika Sher, Roger Ballen, Wilhelm Heiliger, and Sarah Moon. In 2009 the exhibition of American photographer Sheila Metzner (working also for numerous magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue, also for clients as Chanel, Victoria's Secret, Ralph Lauren, Valentino) was prepared in the cooperation with Emzin Institute of Creative Production.

Th Gallery features also the works of Slovene authors (Tihomir Pintar and Žiga Koritnik in 2009, Bojan Radovič, Igor Andjelić, and Aleš Bravničar in 2008, and Neca Falk, Marko Jamnik, Matjaž Krivic, Sibil Slejko, Jože Suhadolnik, Tomo Jeseničnik, Joco Žnidaršič, Bojan Brecelj and Saša Petejan in 2004).

Group exhibitions

Galerija Fotografija prepares also curated group exhibitions. One of the first was the Today About Yesterday featuring the great names of Slovene photography as Stojan Kerbler and Dragan Arrigler. In 2006 the most prominent international names of photography history was shown on the exhibition entitled Art & Photography (Archipenko, Chagall, Christo, Kandinsky, Matisse, Miró, Picasso, Rauschenberg, Soto, Vasarely, Warhol, Wesselman, Doisneau, Klein, Modotti, Newton, Taylor-Wood, Sieff, Wegman and some others). The same year the gallery gave the podium to the exhibition entitled American Photography Week including the works of William Wegman, Diane Arbus, and Nan Goldin.

In 2007 Marina Gržinić and Bojan Radovič (The House of Photography, Slovenia) curated the group exhibition Not-quite/not-right: histories, bodies and concepts in conteporary photography featuring works of Tomaž Gregorič, IRWIN, Jane Štravs, Aleksandra Vajd and Hynek Alt. The exhibition brought to the surface of photography (dis)proportions and strategies that were detected by the curator as structural interventions within contemporary photography, its history and the politics of representation. In the same year the gallery featured the exhibition of famous photographers who dedicated most of their professional interest to the subject of nude and eroticism. Entitled Masters of Erotic Photography it presented the selection of the most typical works by Nobuyoshi Araki, Ralph Gibson, Nan Goldin, Helmut Newton, and Jeanloup Sieff.

Commercial activities

As the commercial space the Galerija Fotografija represents almost 40 artists, approximately half of them are established and promising Slovene photographers. The work of all is well documented on the Gallery website.

On the very first attendance of international art fair in 2009 on the Viennafair, the Galerija Fotografija presented two Slovene established photographers: the legend of the Slovene photography Stojan Kerbler and his the of most known photographic series People of Haloze (Haložani), Portraits from the streets of Ptuj (Portreti s ptujskih ulic) and Pig Slaughter (Koline) and some decades younger photographer Boris Gaberščik and his photographies, where the objects of his images paradoxically dodge a documentary presentation, the explicitness of the photographic devices and are evidently interpreted.


Since 2005 the Galerija Fotografija performs annually at least one auction. In 2009 the charity auction of the best photographs by the participants of the National Geographic Slovenia and National Geographic Junior competition was held at the Ljubljana castle. The funds was given to Slovenian association of friends of youth.
