You are cordially invited to the official event of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica – Gorica, the opening of the exhibition Shining Invisible City by the Nonument Group and architect Eva Sušnik, which maps the shining invisible points of Nova Gorica. The opening of the exhibition will be followed by an accompanying DJ programme with Jaša Bužinel and Zvèn.

📍 Eda centre (ground floor), Nova Gorica
📅 Friday, 30 May, at 7 pm

The exhibition explores and highlights demolished, rebuilt, half-built, abandoned and unrealised projects: public spaces, buildings and other architectural elements that were conceived with love and devotion to the “City of Roses”, but are now invisible in physical space. It is precisely through these voids and unfinished developments, which give the city the dual image of an unattainable ideal and an eternal construction site, that the city retains the veneer of the utopian city that usually disappears so quickly from realised utopias. The exhibition presents an image of another, hypothetical Nova Gorica, where we might live if all these projects, invisible today, were realised.

The partners of the project are MoTA – Museum of Transitory Arts, MAO – Museum of Architecture and Design and SONICA Festival.

MoTA –

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing the research, production and presentation of transitory, experimental, and live art forms.

MoTA is a museum without a permanent collection or a fixed space. Instead, its programs are realised in different locations and contexts in temporary physical and virtual spaces.

MoTA organizes and supports transitory art in the form of continuous events, exhibitions and educational programs both locally and internationally. As its name indicates, MoTA examines what a museum can be today and in the future.

MoTA is in constant search for the new, the uncertain, and the undefined.

MoTA works on several continuous programmes & projects. We run MoTA Point – a Space for Art & Ideas, we curate and produce the annual SONICA Festival, in addition to regular music programmes such as SONICA Series and SONICA Classics.

Within the years of running our residency programme, we’ve established T.R.I.B.E. – a network of residency spaces in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

We’ve also initiated the research and archive platforms ArtistTalk.eu and Mediateque MoTA & Tomaž Brate. Our educational programmes serve a broader audience with ongoing workshops, talks, symposia, and internships.
