The text should be published in the English language in a relevant periodical (printed or online), radio, television or personal blog.

Honza Zamojski: Middleman
10. 3.–28. 5. 2023
MGLC Grad Tivoli
Honza Zamojski's latest exhibition is essentially a site-specific installation. It takes place not only within the symmetry of architecture, but often in relation to the symmetry (or asymmetry) of a sheet of paper, a word and a human figure. An attentive viewer will notice that the further one moves away from the centre of the exhibition, the brighter it is and the more there is to see. You could even say that the narrative explodes, and what tries to put it back together again is Middleman holding the collapsing world with all his might.
To accompany the exhibition, NERO's publishing experimentation entitled Can it be tried somewhere? will also be shown.

Marko Šajn: Mutual Compromise
10. 3.–16. 4. 2023
MGLC Grad Tivoli
The exhibition Mutual Compromise presents the latest series of prints in silkscreen and riso-printing techniques, as well as a metal object as a special feature of the exhibition. Marko Šajn's prints are characterised by a clear concept and perfect execution, a humorous, funny, fast-paced, witty and playful artistic expression with many references to art history, classical painting, popular printmaking, urban culture, graffiti and street art.

Visit the Invader mosaics in Grad Tivoli
Invader is an artist, an individual, a movement, an app, a game and a lifestyle. He is a street art phenomenon and has become a global art star.
You have probably noticed his mosaics around the city of Ljubljana, and some of them are also on the premises of MGLC Grad Tivoli, which are not open to the public. You can see them from Tuesday to Sunday at 2 pm or by appointment (write to us at trgovina@mglc-lj.si).
