Come to the premises of the former Maribor textile factory - MTT, where we will see EKO 8, International Triennial of Art and the Environment under the guidance of the curator of UGM, Jure Kirbiš. The guided tour is part of the Museum Summer Night program and starts at 19:00 and will take place in a very interesting atmosphere due to the evening hour, as some art works looks especially attractive in the evening light.
In 2021, the Maribor Art Gallery will relaunch the EKO, International Triennial of Art and Environment. The artistic director of the EKO 8 Triennial, Alessandro Vincentelli, an independent curator from the United Kingdom, gave the revised edition of the triennial the title A Letter to the Future. The title comes from a memorial plaque with which Icelanders marked a special moment of the loss of the Okjökull glacier in Borgarfjörður.
Guide tour of the exhibition is possible in accordance with the PCT protocol.
