Guided Tour / 60! PANORAMA
UGM | Maribor Art Gallery, Strossmayerjeva 6, Maribor
Saturday, 7 June 2014 at 11:00
guided by: Meta Gabršek Prosenc, former UGM director

The presentation of UGM | Maribor Art Gallery collection on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the gallery’s establishment is based on two starting points: to define the prominent features as well as the character of the collection, and to identify in this “retrospective” (re)view the moments that are reinterpreted also in the present time. The exhibition points at the heterogeneous structure of the collection which was formed in the past decades by different collection policies through purchases and donations. The collection’s multi-fold identity is displayed in the collision between modernity and tradition, between progressive and belated creative tendencies.

Meta Gabršek Prosenc was director of UGM from 1993-2007, following the position as head of UGM Museum department and head of RSR, Rotovž Exhibition Salon. Under her directorship UGM garnered notable recognition in Slovenia and abroad. She is an author of numerous articles, monographies and catalogues. In 2008 she received Valvasor lifetime achievement award for her work.
