PIRAN CIVIC GALLERY

Andrej Medved was a remarkably versatile intellectual: an art critic and theorist, philosopher, publicist, and poet. As artistic director from 1977 until his retirement, he successfully guided, shaped, and led the exhibition programme of The Piran Coastal Galleries, which under his leadership became one of Slovenia’s leading gallery institutions. Through his original, independent, dedicated, interdisciplinary work, grounded in philosophical foundations and professional critical thought he made an extraordinary contribution to the Slovenian and international gallery and museum sphere. At home and abroad, he created new opportunities for young Slovenian and international artists, opening the doors of the contemporary public sphere to them. He is a person whose publicly expressed professional and personal stance carries significant weight.
