On Saturday, 11 July, at 7 p.m., we opened Ale\u0161 Horvat\u2019s exhibition \u201c1938\u20132020\u201d at Gallery Epeka.<\/p>\n

In memoriam: Dragica Horvat, An intimate altar to a quiet heroine<\/p>\n

“At the beginning of 2020 I lost my aunt Dragica. I didn\u2019t want an obituary. People who matter to us deserve exhibitions. Monuments in quotation marks. Let simple lives live one more version. I rummage through my aunt\u2019s drawers. Socks, postcards, hats. This is a life for an exhibition. An installation of a destiny.”<\/p>\n

The exhibition is being created during unusual coronavirus circumstances, in which we agreed with the artist to realise the exhibition\u2014planned for a long time\u2014in a hybrid three-week residency format. The artist, who is originally from Maribor, spent part of the creative process living in the gallery premises and part in our rented spaces at Areh, which enabled deeper contemplation.<\/p>\n
