OPENING: Wednesday, 17th May, at 21.30

K76, the famous kiosk designed by Saša J. Mächtig in 1966 is undoubtedly one of the major achievements of Slovenian design. Since then, the kiosk has been an integral part of the urban inventory in Ljubljana and many other cities in the former Yugoslavia. This project aims to move back in time and transfer feelings and style of bygone eras into the present. We want to inspire nostalgia, but at the same time also to create an hommage to design projects and designers who worked in Slovenia and Yugoslavia, with a collection of designer objects and movie screenings. In this kiosk, we’ve re-created the atmosphere in which ambients of home, disco and TV images of that time become intertwined. /artists/
