This time we invite you to join David Tavčar, the author of the exhibition, and Živa Kleindienst, coordinator of the exhibition programme, for a guided tour of the exhibition Spekter. 70 Years of the UGM Collection. The guided tour will start at 11:00 on Saturday, 28 September.
Since its establishment in 1954, the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery had been synonymous with the palace at Strossmayerjeva ulica, a great house, however not spacious enough to simultaneously accommodate both a permanent hanging of the collection and large temporary exhibitions. For a number of years, we have tackled this challenge by setting up temporary exhibitions of the UGM Collection in ever new constellations of works and in varying manners of display, so as to offer a new perspective on our collection and the history of 20th-century art in the city, region, and Slovenia.
David Tavčar is a talented young designer, most notable for his textile designs for international fashion houses and heritage companies, his interiors, and the brand under his own name. His signature in design is the relaxed and playful freehand of his drawings, a sense of humour, and an inexhaustible trove of references to the history of art, craft and design. Tavčar threads images into sequences and grids, creating identifiable patterns that conjure up a complex and autonomous whole. As an unconventional art connoisseur, he was entrusted by the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery with carte blanche to apply his point of view to the works from the UGM Collection in order to weave a rich tapestry of art associations and conversations.
The guided tour is free of charge on payment of the entrance fee.
