Ravnikar Projects RAVNIKAR PROJECTS is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to fostering emerging and established voices in contemporary art.

RAVNIKAR Projects is a Ljubljana based contemporary art platform shaping exhibitions, publishing, residencies, and international exchange, with a strong focus on ambitious, research-driven and experimental practices. As a dynamic platform, it forges vital connections between independent artistic practices and the wider cultural landscape, nurturing dialogue, engagement, and critical thought. Throu

gh RAVNIKAR gallery and R SPACE, we champion progressive artistic expressions across visual and intermedia arts, presenting a carefully curated program of exhibitions, talks, mentorships, publishing, and international collaborations. Our approach transcends conventional boundaries, embracing fluidity in genre, form, and artistic discourse. Beyond exhibition-making, RAVNIKAR is an active force in shaping the contemporary art ecosystem—advancing the careers of artists from the region internationally, cultivating new audiences, and fostering sustainability within the arts. Flagship initiatives such as LJUBLJANA ART WEEKEND, the co-founding of ETC. magazine, and participation in major art fairs underscore our commitment to cultural innovation and exchange. A proud member of the New Art Dealers Alliance and the Gallery Climate Coalition, RAVNIKAR is dedicated to the future of contemporary art—bold, inclusive, and ever-evolving. Our work is supported by the Municipality of Ljubljana and the Ministry of Culture.

🅡 — 16 Ruhr
Big news! Gasper Kunsic has been selected for Manifesta 16 Ruhr, the 2026 edition taking place across the Ruhr region in Germany, known for its site-responsive and socially engaged curatorial framework.

Kunšič’s practice draws on visual fragments from the countryside of his upbringing, alongside folk motifs and pop-cultural imagery from the former Yugoslavia and wider diasporic Balkan context. Through painting, sculpture, works on paper and spatial interventions, he transforms exhibition environments into emotionally charged, immersive settings that disrupt conventional readings of space and instead propose new, speculative folklore worlds and ways of belonging. His inclusion in this year’s programme brings his practice into dialogue with a broad spectrum of contemporary approaches to place, memory and collective imagination.

🅡 — Aurélien Potier & Neja Zorzut: Proximity | Bližnjost
25/03 — 16/05/2026
Curated by Olesia Shuvarikova

In the exhibition, the works of Aurélien Potier and Neja Zorzut create an affective environment, where conflict does not erupt but persists as constant tension between opposing forces […] organising attention towards potential outcomes.

Embedded in Zorzut’s installation, a choreography of emotional and bodily control held in a state of anticipation correlates with the pervasive affective and physical tension in Potier’s works, articulated through materials like steel, wax, cables, and organic matter. As his sculptures pierce and protrude from the walls or hang suspended, sharp spikes and exposed wires articulate anger and violence, while red beeswax lends a sense of fragility and potential disintegration — together holding a fundamental paradox at the core of Potier’s practice.

Proximity can be understood as force held in suspension, charged with the risk of transgression. In Zorzut’s work, it is neither intimate nor safe, but becomes a danger activated through touch. In Potier’s practice, touch still carries the possibility of repair — wax, mending open wounds, holds out a tentative hope for the healing of relations.

FULL CIRCLE ⎯⎯ The milestone fifth edition of Ljubljana Art Weekend returns May 21–24, 2026!

Across the city, exhibition openings, performances, discussions, screenings, guided tours and other events will unfold alongside a main curated programme led by ETC. Magazine. The curatorial framework takes its cue from the magazine's fifth issue, Full Circle, grappling with personal, political and historical cycles, and questioning whether we are destined to repeat history or if we can return to the past to rethink the future.

Big news: we’re taking part in this year’s LISTE Basel with artist Mladen Stropnik. For a gallery from Ljubljana, representing Slovenia on this stage is a huge honour and a reminder that dedication and care truly matter.

To everyone who has supported us, and even those who challenged us along the way, thank you. You have shaped our journey and made us stronger.

Here is to the work, the risks, and the moments that make it all worth it. Let’s go!
