The December guided tour of the Spekter exhibition will be led by David Tavačar, the author of the exhibition's installation, and Jure Kirbiš, UGM curator. They will take you through the new installation of works from the UGM Collection, which was prepared to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the gallery, on Friday, 13 December 2024, at 17:00.

Just like a work of art is a composition of multiple elements niftily combined and confronted in harmonies that their authors concocted implementing their skills and tools, so an exhibition is an art form in and of itself, and its design is subject to principles not unlike those that shape an artwork – where works of art are the constituent elements of the conglomerate of the whole. The new major exhibition at the UGM | Maribor Art Gallery opens up a spectrum of views, positions, and forms, both within the artworks from the UGM Collection and in the art of exhibition-making as such.

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.
