EVA MLINAR & HANA JESIH, IMPRESIJE: LJUBLJANA/ISTANBUL
December 2017
Hana Jesih in Eva Mlinar: Impresije, Ljubljana/Istanbul, Galerija Dobra vaga, 18. 12. 2017 - 8. 1. 2018
Impressions are artistic correspondence, a dialogue between visual artists Eva Mlinar and Hana Jesih. Using e-mail, they exchanged visual impressions representing their experiences and perceptions of the culture, society, community and diversity of the cities they lived in during that time (Hana in Ljubljana, Eva in Istanbul). The end result of the digital dialogue are collage illustrations of selected topics, bound together in a book.
Illustrations are accompanied by texts by Kaja Blazinšek, Andraž Boštjančič, Nejc Gazvoda, Matic Kocijančič and Eva Mahkovic. They represent not just a dialogue between authors, but also artistic exploration, an experiment in images and words.

JOŽE | GROUP EXHIBITION PROJECT
July 2017
JOŽE, group exhibition project - Plečnik House (MGLM), 7. 7. 2017 - 1. 10. 2017
From the exhibition’s pamphlet:
The collaboration of two unique projects, the DobraVaga Gallery and Plečnik House, presents fresh artwork by 10 artists of the younger generation who are active on the local and international scenes. The main initiative for such cooperation is the location of DobraVaga beneath Plečnik's arcades at Ljubljana's Central Market, and the resulting link to Plečnik's architectural heritage. The idea to feature contemporary authors in the historic home of Jože Plečnik is thus a tribute to the Slovenian architect, at the same time offering a new look at him, his work and his life. Titled JOŽE, the exhibition emphasises a personal note, as the authors present their own artistic interpretation of the architect through their art print.

"THE GROTESQUE OF OUR TIME"
April 2017
The exhibition "The Grotesque of Our Time" shows a selection of contemporary artists, who all address the topic of "grotesque" in direct and indirect ways. Presented works are grotesque either because of the motifs of fantasy worlds inhabited by hybrid creatures and other fantastical characters, or because of the collage technique and the use of full-toned, intense colors, which are typical of this genre, or they can be labeled as grotesque in terms of the wider socially critical context.

PERIDEXION TREE
December 2016
For some time now, I wanted to make a series of illustrations, based on the motives from medieval illuminated manuscripts. Istanbul is finally giving me the time and inspiration, so this is the first one, entitled "Peridexion Tree".
"The peridexion tree grows in India. Doves gather in the tree because they like the sweet fruit, and because there they are safe from the dragon. He hates the doves and would harm them if it could, but it fears the shadow of the peridexion tree and stays on the unshaded side of it. The doves that stay in the shadow are safe, but any who leave it are caught and eaten by the dragon."
