The Past Five Years
New acquisitions in UGM collection
UGM Great Hall, Strossmayerjeva 6
opening + guided tour: Saturday, 2 February 2018, 11:00
Through the period of past five years, UGM managed to expand it's video collection of artwork with donations and redemptions. The artwork varies between work from the most prominent young artists (Jasmina Cibic, JAŠA, Nika Autor), artists of middle generations (Nika Špan, Alen Ožbolt) and some individual historical work by famous artists, represented in the UGM collection (Zoran Mušič, Ivan Kos, Elsa Oeltjen-Kasimir).
In the period of five years, UGM has managed to obtain more than 100 new pieces of art, mostly as donations from artists/their heirs. The acquisitions strongly link to the exhibition program or the main projects of UGM from the past five years, such as the legacy of photographer Ivan Dvoršak; many works from the Maribor alternative scene from the '80s; donation of a spatial installation from Marko Pogačnik, etc.
