Bojan Adamič: »Shrovetide Masks«

from 26. Jan to 26. Mar 2017, from 10:00 to 18:00, Pentagonal Tower, Ljubljana Castle

Master Bojan Adamič (1912 – 1995), a composer and conductor was very attracted to pagan cultures, particularly to the traditional masks which are the remnants of paganism which to a certain extent still lives on today. The masks unleashed his imagination and Shrovetide festivities gave him a feeling of freedom. To him the appearance of Kurent marked the victory over Winter, boredom and apathy. Kurent is the allegorical expression of the composer’s vitality and inexhaustible energy. 

The exhibition will also feature a film directed by Janez Meglič, “Bojan Adamič and Hasselblad”.

Curators of the exhibition: Stanka Gačnik and doc. Dr. Aleš Gačnik

The exhibition was produced in cooperation with the Provincial Museum Ptuj – Ormož.
