Managed byKUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association

As the name already implies, the Night Window Display Gallery Pešak is a rather special gallery in that one doesn't actually enter it and that its exhibitions can only be seen at night, by way of a telescope that is set on a nearby tower, 20 metres away. The gallery is located on the first floor of one of the buildings at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Centre, and is 'open' till 1.00 AM.

Pešak is run by KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association, and was established in 2014 as a part of its Urban arts projects, a programme that is upgrading and diversifying the urban fabric of Metelkova since 2003. Under the auspices of that same programme, the monocular – set on a steel-frame tower – was also created. Amongst the initiators (and now also curators) of the gallery are Damijan Kracina, Vladimir Leben, Terah, Mitja Ficko, Jaka Mihelič, Božo Rakočevič in Anabel Černohorski.

Gallery programme

The exhibitions (featuring paintings, comics, sculptures and site-specific works) usually last for one month, and are chosen by the above mentioned members of Pešak's arts committee. Most of the presented artists are, on way or another connected to Metelkova, and amongst them were Marko A. Kovačič, Nevena Aleksovski, Anna Ehrlemark, Goran Medjugorac, Uroš Weinberger, and the initiators themselves. The gallery is also used to host a part of the Red Dawns Festival programme.
