EQURNA, GALLERY, LJUBLJANA; Equrna Gallery was established in 1982 as the first private gallery in the former Yugoslavia by a group of artists (some of them are now professors at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design) as an association of freelance artists. From the outset Equrna has been an exhibition space and a commercial gallery of contemporary creation. It is also a pioneer of Slovene participation at international art fairs.
The gallery offers monthly exhibitions mostly in the format of solo exhibitions, occasionally also group shows. Equrna presents the newest art works by mid-generation artists who defined Slovene art during the 1980s along with some output of younger artists. Altogether the Gallery represents more than 50 artists. Gallery space occupies a total area of 300 sqare metres, separated in two areas. It's origin dates from Napoleon's time, ment as a horse stables for his soldiers. The gallery space has arches and four metres high ceiling, that's why it has a special charm.
