Invitation to the lecture The Beginnings of Nova Gorica: the Heritage of the Ravnikar/Russian Blocks

Thursday, 24 July, 7 pm
Eda centre (ground floor), Nova Gorica
FB event

You are cordially invited to a lecture by art historian Dr. Alenka Di Battista on the values that defined the design and construction of Ravnikar’s or Russian Blocks. Together with researcher Dr Jasna Fakin Bajec, they will discuss the results of the 2023 workshops on the Russian Blocks.

The event will highlight the modernist heritage of Nova Gorica, with a special focus on the Ravnikarjev/Ruski Blocks area at the southern end of Kidričeva Street. It will present the original plans, the realised and unrealised urban and architectural concepts, and above all the diverse values that still define these legendary blocks today.

The lecture takes place in the framework of the exhibition The Shining Invisible City by the art and research collective Nonument Group.

Nonument Group: The Shining Invisible City
The exhibition The Shining Invisible City 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 today invisible in physical space.

📍 Eda centre (ground floor), Nova Gorica*

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.
