The Medprostor (Interspace) exhibition is conceived for the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the annexation of Libeliče to the motherland. Originating from consideration of the borders that mark the geopolitical area of ​​Slovenia and specifically the border between Slovenia and Austria, we are dealing with a broader concept and the phenomenon of borders in general. Selected artists and artists from different viewpoints focus on artistic research and interpretations of geopolitical landscapes and reveal personal stories. They open the topic of borders with a clear social-critical emphasis. With the exhibition, we want to establish an alternative consideration of border spaces, where hybrid identities are created and established. In the past, these spaces were mostly defined as inferior, but here we want to highlight them as spaces of potential, if not even the future.

The exhibition is part of the project “Koroška 100 let pozneje” (Carinthia 100 years later), organized by the Koroška galerija likovnih umetnosti (KGLU), Slovenj Gradec.
