Lee Miller, Legendary Lee Miller

Jakopič Gallery / Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana

November 22, 2010 – January 9, 2011

The photographer Lee Miller (1907-1977) began her career as the muse and collaborator of the Surrealist photographer Man Ray in Paris. Her photographs have earned her a key place in the history of art; surrealist images along with her pack shots, portraits and extraordinary WWII combat photographs taken while she was a war correspondent during the Second World War. With her husband Roland Penrose she developed strong artistic and friendly contacts with many important artists of 20^th Century. Legendary Lee Miller, the retrospective exhibition of 96 Lee’s original photographs presents the chronological overview of her artistic development.

Antonio Živkovič, Traces of the Past

Galerija Kud ateljeMIKADO Ljubljana

November 23 – December 7, 2010

Ever since the 90’s, Antonio Živkovič has been becoming one of those photographers who form their own unique artistic style which sets them apart from other artists. His interest mostly lies in industrial stories formed in the past and presenting the basis for technical progress. This involves mostly architecture from the areas of heavy industry, which means the construction of such buildings was mostly practical. We can see an interesting visual meaning within many of these buildings, a meaning that becomes more apparent with the age of the architecture.

Marko Lipuš, Photocartoons

Photon Gallery – Centre for Contemporary Photography

November 24 – December 18, 2010

Photocartoons are a blend of scanned and digital photo-material. Image editing software allows the artist to compose and edit digital templates, as well as create an original and dynamic aesthetic form through mixing line drawings with various photographic samples, scans and digital images of various qualities. In terms of style, photocartoons are a mixture of comic strip and caricature, reflecting current moods and contemporary spirit. The individual and autonomous aesthetic exterior can be compared to the pop art of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, and, accordingly, understood as a quotation.

Photonic Moments: exhibitions and events of the festival’s 4^thweek:

10^th of November 2010 – Aljaž Velički, What Have We Forgotten?; Modra hiša Ljubljana

11^th of November 2010 – Present Continuous: Contemporary Photography from Hungary; Contemporary Art Gallery Celje

Aljaž Velički, What Have We Forgotten?

from November 10 until December 1, 2010

Modra hiša Ljubljana – artevidaorg.wordpress.com

Aljaž Velički, a young Slovenian photographer, who is in his fourth year of studies under professor Lubo Stach at the renowned Vysoki školi vytvarnych umenia (Academy of Fine Arts and Design) in Bratislava, is presenting his work with two series of photographs with a joint name What have we forgotten? Both series appear very different at first glance, as the author uses different photographic techniques to achieve a certain goal; however they are also very alike, as they represent his thoughts about the world. With this project, Aljaž Velički uncompromisingly, yet sensibly, takes on the bigger issues in life.

Present Continuous: Contemporary Photography from Hungary

from November 11 until December 5, 2010

Contemporary Art Gallery Celje – www.celeia.info/center_sodobnih_umetnosti

The young artists selected for the series, which started in 2005 and has been continuously expanding since then, represent every type of photography – from autonomous photographers to documentary photographers working with photo-essays, as well as photo-reporters. The diversity and uniqueness of their works reflect the questions of the present. The continuously expanding exhibition material and the yearly increasing number of artists together with the topics they deal with provide a more and more comprehensive picture of Hungarian contemporary trends and the forming photographic careers.

V.A.T. Group, Zone Trbovlje

November 2 – November 20, 2010

Delavski dom Trbovlje – www.dd-trbovlje.si

The artists, entangled with the social structure of a degraded workers’ town, use articulated and poetic form of photography to speak up about themselves, their intimacy, relationship with the world, about the fears and hopes and expectations, about life. Trbovlje Zone deals with the artefacts and the sediments of time which is irrevocably coming to an end. At the same time it shows the possible outlooks for the future. Different affinities of the artists together form a complex image of a particular architectural and social structure of a closed and sometimes self-sustaining community.

Tomaž Tomažin, Series 360

November 3 – November 23, 2010

Sokolski dom Škofja Loka – www.sokolskidom.si

Presented in light boxes, Series 360 is a series of photographic panoramas that Tomaž Tomažin began in 2007. Using a montage technique, the photographs are combined into 360-degree panoramas to reveal a precisely designed mise-en-scène in which the author appears multiplied in different roles and carefully directed stories which are – in contrast to the entirety of space – forever fragmented.

New Serbian Photography

November 4 – December 1, 2010

Simulaker Gallery Novo mesto – www.simulaker.si

Umetniki: Aleksandrija Ajduković, Benjamin Beker, Goran Micevski, Vesna Micović, Branka Nedimović, Miloš Nenković, Andrijana Pajović, Tijana Pakić-Feterman, Dragan Petrović, Ivan Petrović, Katarina Radović, Mihailo Vasiljević

This selection of contemporary Serbian photography derives from a diversity of approaches to the photographic medium and encompasses a variety of subject matter which co-exist in a common aesthetic, social and ideological universe. The image these young Serbian photographers present of themselves, their identity as well as their environment, is also a complex reflection of the world from which they emanate. They decorate their own historical stage in the context of the extant socio-political situation, and, in addition to raising a number of new questions, they offer answers to other issues raised a long time ago.

Branko Lenart, Body.Language 1971 – 2010

November 5, 2010 – January 5, 2011

Galerija Dom Kulture Ptuj – www.muzikafe.si

Back in the 19^th century, the photographic eye became dedicated to the naked – predominantly female – form. With a refined focus on body language, Branko Lenart additionally extends the classical and popular motif of the nude. Rather than ousting or even losing nudity, his approach points out poises, gestures and touches, whilst the pre-eminence of a human body vindicates its place in the immensity of the natural milieu. Past and present, artificial and natural, form the horizon of projection to meet a motif which, in this particular case, is not confined to the lustful eye.
