Borut Krajnc, Mura v stečaju #1, 2019.

Jutri, 17. 9. ob 19.00 v Mestni galeriji Ljubljana na ogled postavljamo izbor del iz fotografskega opusa Boruta Krajnca. Pregledna razstava z naslovom Preobrat združuje fotografske cikle Praznine (2005–2008), Pot (2015–2018), Politika (2012–2015), Pritisk (2020), Prehajanje (2020–2021) ter cikel Preobrat, ki vključuje serije Mura (2019), Adria Airways (2019) in Mariborska livarna Maribor – MLM (2024–2025). Že naslovi posameznih sklopov nakazujejo, da sta v središču Krajnčevega fotografskega ustvarjanja prav praznina in preobrat. V zadnjih dveh desetletjih povezujeta njegova razmišljanja, občutenja in kritično razumevanje družbene resničnosti.

Vljudno vabljeni, vstop je prost.

Borut Krajnc, Mura in Bankruptcy #01, 2019.

Tomorrow, September 17, at 7:00 PM at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana, we are opening an exhibition of selected works from the photographic opus of Borut Krajnc. The exhibition Turning Point brings together the photographic cycles Emptiness (2005–2008), Path (2015), Politics (2012–2015), Pressure (2020), Transitions (2020–2021), and the cycle Turning Point, which includes the series Mura (2009–2014), Adria Airways (2019), and Maribor Foundry – MLM (2024–2025). The titles of these individual series alone already suggest that emptiness and transformation are at the heart of Krajnc’s photographic practice. Over the past two decades, these interconnected themes have shaped his reflections, sensibility, and critical understanding of social reality.

Warmly welcome, admission is free.

V četrtek, 27. avgusta ob 17.00 uri vas vabimo na še zadnje srečanje z umetnico, Tanjo Lažetić, in kustosinjo, Barbaro Sterle Vurnik, preden se v nedeljo poslovimo od pregledne razstave Laž v Mestni galeriji Ljubljana.
V naši in spletni trgovini že najdete obsežni obrazstavni katalog, ki ga b***a v četrtek tudi predstavili, izkoristite pa lahko tudi priložnost za podpis publikacije.

Ob izteku razstave pa vas vljudno vabimo tudi k ogledu oddaje Osmi dan; z umetnico je govorila Melita Kontrec.
"V zadnjem letu pa je raziskovala tudi slikarske tehnike, zato so prvič razstavljena slikarska platna. Motiv rože, ki ga umetnica raziskuje že več let, tudi tukaj ni dekorativen, ampak postane prispodoba za družbo, ki se oklepa idealov in se z minljivostjo noče soočiti. Njena dela odpirajo vprašanja, ki ostajajo aktualna, kako se spreminjamo, kako gradimo svojo identiteto in kako razumemo resničnost."

Vabljeni, tako v živo, kot na spletu!
