Jan St. Werner: Vibraception – Investigations in Wavespace

11.03.2025. - 19.04.2025. / MSU, 1. i 2. kat povremenih izložbi

The Museum of Contemporary Art presents a solo exhibition by Jan St. Werner, a researcher, sound artist, and composer of electronic music, titled Vibraception – Investigations in Wavespace. The exhibition transforms the museum space into a sound environment, using sound as a tool to activate both space and architecture. Precisely directed sound waves shape the environment, creating dynamic soundscapes that change depending on the movement of the visitors. Within the interior of the Museum, panels are installed that, by directing sound waves, create unpredictable resonances and changes in the perception of the building’s architecture, building upon the interactive sound panels of the author’s Excitatory Yards work displayed on the MSU plateau in September 2024.

The Sun Is Burnt / The Archive of Cetinje Biennials

** The exhibition opening is at 7 p.m.

The exhibition The Sun Is Burnt / The Archive of Cetinje Biennials is an overview of the legacy left by the event that took place between 1991 and 2004 in Cetinje, Montenegro.

The international event, which brought together around 700 artists, curators and cultural workers throughout its 14-year duration, was left unelaborated and without a systematic history of its activity following its last edition in 2004. Even though a renewal has often been alluded to, the Biennial was gradually erased from social memory and remained inaccessible to new generations of artists.

Motovun Encouters

20.03.2025. - 04.05.2025. / MSU, Black Box

The Motovun Encounters, organized as international meetings of visual artists, were theme-based events held from 1972 to 1984 in Motovun, Istria. Eleven meetings of artists of different poetics, generations and backgrounds took place throughout this period. The meetings were organized by the Galleria del Cavallino from Venice, Ethnographic Museum from Pazin, and, joining the endeavor in 1976, the City Gallery of Contemporary Art (today MSU).
