Upcoming Events in Istria

The exhibition features the results of a two-year research project carried out by a number of experts and scientists covering the architectural and urban planning topics related to the monuments that belong to the memorial heritage of the Yugoslav socialist era. It focuses on the projects and plans that marked the period of public ‘monuments’ reflecting the era's turning points and abandoned modern/abstract visions.

A valuable collection of constructivist and kinetic arts, tactile and concrete poetry collected by the Austrian gallery owner Winfried Wünsch. It features paintings, sculptures, installations, graphics, drawings and photographs by Austrian, German, Croatian, Italian and Kuban artists. The selected exhibits comprise: works based on the analytical approach to art and a visual research of surfaces, structures and objects, close to the concept of the New Tendencies; pieces emphasising the analytical-rational relationship with language, or language as a visual and concrete form, and works of the Vienna Group conceptual artists. The collection is also on display at the Rigo Gallery.

A valuable collection of works of the Viennese conceptual artists (the Vienna Group), on loan to both the Rigo Gallery and the Lapidarium Museum courtesy of the Austrian collector Winfried Wünsch.

An ambient art installation capturing the bond between MAN and NATURE, while transforming art into landscape (Land Art) and vice versa. The exhibition focuses on the works created in the summer of 2019 at the Mirna river estuary, a protected bird reserve, among the few left in the Mediterranean. Having completed extensive research studies of the estuary's aesthetic, physical, chemical and biological properties, Roberto Ghezzi (Corona, Arezzo) used the river as an installation in which he left his canvases deposited for months, thus mapping the values of the landscape and its great biodiversity.
