Dan, ki ga ne boste nikoli pozabili, je zagotovo poroka. To je dogodek, za katerega si želite, da bi vam ostal v najlepšem spominu.

Edinstveni ambient omogoča izvedbo poročnega obreda na grajskem dvorišču v zavetju grajskega obzidja ali pa v renesančni poročni dvorani.

The Negova Castle complex is an excellent choice for your wedding day, since its historical scenery and the right amount of privacy assure that your vows and the solemn celebration will never be forgotten. The unique atmosphere enables performance of the wedding ceremony in the castleyard sheltered by the castle walls or in the renaissance wedding hall.

APOLONIJA IN APOLONIJINA POT

APOLONIA AND APOLONIA’S PATH

Rdečelaso Apolonijo so v 18. stoletju v Gornji Radgoni obsodili čarovništva. In to zgolj zato, ker je zdravila ljudi in živali z zelišči ter znala iz enake količine mleka pridelati več masla kot ostale kmetice.

Od Mostu prijateljstva se najprej poda do vinske kleti pod romantičnim slapom in se osveži s peninskimi mehurčki in z avtohtono ranino. V muzeju Špital se seznani z zgodovino mesta, nato postrani ošine še Park spominov Nikoli več kot opominjajoč spomin bojem za osamosvojitev države. V Aleji velikih pomisli, kako so v njem našli svoje mesto tisti znameniti Radgončani, ki zagotovo niso imeli ničesar proti ukim in varčnim ženskam, in se vzpne še do cerkve sv. Petra. Pot nadaljuje do Ivanjševske slatine, kjer na kratkem postanku pije iz rodne zemlje bruhajočo vodo, za katero se je še do nedavnega govorilo, da jo pod zemljo kuhajo prav coprnice. Še malo in že je v Negovi – pričakajo jo v baročnih oblačilih in ji z veseljem in namazano besedo odigrajo Gorsko pravdo. Po ogledu Marijine cerkve jo ob prangerju opomnijo k primernemu vedenju. Obnovljeni grajski lepotec iz 14. stoletja jo povabi med svoje zidove. Ob grajskem obzidju si v zeliščnem parku med dehtečimi zelišči utrga svoje. In nato naprej, po vinski cesti, do vasi Črešnjevci, kjer se je v tipični panonski hiši rodil Peter Dajnko, ki je ljubil črke in čebele. Oddahne si šele v Lisjakovi strugi, kjer v pomladnih dneh nabirajo čemaž, v poletnih pa pripravljajo ribje piknike. In ker se kot prava zaljubljenka v življenje ne brani dobre hrane, pod večer zavije na eno izmed mnogih turističnih kmetij ter si privošči kislo juho z ajdovimi žganci, krvavice s kislim zeljem in kvasenico ali prleško gibanico. Potem izgine v noč.

Pravijo, da v zraku nato še dolgo lebdi vonj po suhih krhljih in janežu.

Kdor na Apolonijino popotno palico zaveže čarobni trakec, tvega, da se mu izpolnijo želje, povezane z ljubeznijo ali z zdravjem.

Red haired Apollonia was accused of witchcraft in Gornja Radgona in 18th century. The reason - she cured people and animals with herbs and produced more butter from the same amount of milk than her fellow farmers wives.

From the Bridge of Friendship she steps into the wine cellar under the romantic cascade and refreshes herself with sparkling wine bubbles and the autochthonous Ranina wine.

From the side, she glances at the Spital, the unique building from the 17th century, and the Never Again Memorial Park, a reminder of fights for our country’s independence. She stops in the Alley of the Great, dedicated to famous people from Radgona, ascends to the parish church of St. Peter and continues on her way to the spring of Ivanjševci, where she stops for a while and drinks water rising from her native land, for which, not so long ago, it was said was cooked underground by no one else but the witches. In a little while, she comes to Negova, where they welcome her in baroque clothes and, smooth with their words, play “gorska pravda” (an assembly of vassals who cultivated the vineyards) for her. After a visit to the Church of St. Mary, she is reminded of proper behaviour by the wall of shame (pranger).

The restored beautiful castle from the 14th century invites her within its walls.

Along the castle wall, she gathers her herbs from among four hundred different kinds in the herbal park. However, it’s time to go back, since a big fair is about to start in town. She returns on the wine path through Črešnjevci, where Peter Dajnko, who loved words and bees, was born in a typical Pannonian house. She finally catches some breath in Lisjakova struga along the Mura River. There, wild garlic is collected in the spring and fish picnics are prepared in the summer. Since a lady in love never refuses good food, she turns to one of many tourist farms and treats herself to sour soup with buckwheat žganci, black pudding with sauerkraut and kvasenica or prleška gibanica when the evening approaches. Afterwards, she disappears into the night, but the scent of dried apples and aniseed remains in the air for quite a while.

Visitors tie ribbons to her walking stick in the hope that their wishes for health and love will come true.

Na grajskem taboru otroci odpotujejo v obdobje, ko so grajski zidovi ščitili prebivalce pred turškimi vpadi, po grajskih pobočjih pa so bili zasajeni sadovnjaki in travniki. Otroci spoznajo življenje v srednjem veku, naučijo se nekaterih veščin, ki so jih morali poznati in obvladati paži. Spoznajo skrivnosti izdelovanja papirja, kovanja denarja, naučijo se streljati z lokom, seznanijo se s srednjeveškimi plesi in z otroškimi igrami iz preteklosti. Skozi pohode po okolici gradu pa spoznavajo bogato zgodovino kraja.

MD Vitez Negova Tina Mauko, Radgončanka, sodi v sam vrh klasične, improvizacijske sodobne glasbe. Piše skladbe za simfonične orkestre in operne librete, izvaja klavirske improvizacije. Predstavila se bo z novo stvaritvijo, s popolnoma novim konceptom glasbene ustvarjalnosti – z glasbenim performansom. Tinina inovacija dreza v napoved nove oblike glasbenega izražanja, ki zaobsega del igre, kompozicijsko produkcijo, artistični video s Tino kot igralko na platnu in improvizatorko za klavirjem.

Pred našimi očmi se dogaja novost v času, ki se bo zapisala v zgodovino.

Medijska družba Dnevnik je že tretje leto pripravila poseben projekt: Dnevnikova izvidnica, v kateri so slovenski in tuji ‘turistični detektivi’ obiskali 15 slovenskih krajev: Bohinj, Celje, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Cerknica, Črna na Koroškem, Divača, Dolenjske Toplice, Gornja Radgona, Koper, Litija, Moravske Toplice, Nova Gorica, Podčetrtek, Ruše in Veržej, in ocenili njihovo turistično ponudbo.

Tokratna zimska izvidnica je potekala od 27. novembra 2014 do 4. marca 2015.

O svojem obisku je vsaka ‘izvidnica’ pripravila neodvisno poročilo, na podlagi opisa dogajanj, vtisov in doživetja, osebnih preferenc, zadovoljstva in nezadovoljstva s povsem konkretnimi izkušnjami, njenih pohval in pripomb, nato pa je v Dnevniku izšel obširen novinarski reportažni zapis.

Zapis je nadgradil še ločen komentar strokovne komisije v sestavi Marjane Grčman, dr. Janeza Bogataja, Vita Avguština in Primoža Žižka, ki je hkrati podala tudi svoje mnenje o poročilu izvidnice s komentarjem njenih navedb.

Izbor do turistov najbolj prijaznega kraja je potekal v treh kategorijah: po izboru bralcev časopisa Dnevnik, po izboru tujih izvidnikov ter po izboru strokovne komisije in uredništva Dnevnikove priloge Prosti čas. Izvidničarji so pri ocenjevanju 10 segmentov turistične ponudbe Gornji Radgoni dodelili laskavih 91 točk od 100: 1.

Urejenost, videz kraja, čistoča 2.

Promet, javni prevoz, kažipoti, označevanje znamenitosti 3.

Namestitev 4.

Kulinarična ponudba (lokalne jedi, lokalna pijača) 5.

Ponudba kulturnih vsebin (na dan obiska in nasploh) 6.

Ponudba športnih dejavnosti, rekreacije, zabave 7.

Ponudba na področju spominkov, kaj lahko obiskova lec kupi značilnega za kraj/pokrajino 8.

Spletne strani kraja in znamenitosti 9.

TIC – odpiralni čas, profesionalnost, prijaznost 10.

Gostoljubnost, splošni vtis.

Njihovo navdušenje nad ponudbo v občini Gornja Radgona je zagotovilo, da se bodo kot gosti še vračali.

Zaključna prireditev je potekala na ljubljanskem gradu 16.

3. 2015. Gornja Radgona se je odlično odrezala v vseh treh izborih, saj je v hudi konkurenci zasedla tretje mesto po izboru bralcev, drugo mesto po izboru tujih izvidnikov in tretje mesto po izboru strokovne žirije. Priznanja je prevzel župan občine Gornja Radgona, Stanislav Rojko.

Visoka ocena in prejeta priznanja pomenijo potrditev zavzetega dela akterjev v tej branži, saj uspeh nedvomno ne priplava čez noč in ni nekaj samoumevnega. Znova se je izkazalo, da ga lahko zagotovi le ustrezna strategija, veščine v poznavanju razvojnih tokov, pripadnost in uvidenje lastnih atributov, povezovanje taistih v primeren produkt in oblikovanje turistične ponudbe. Za uspešnost v turizmu pač niso dovolj le čudovita narava, zanimive zgodbe in okusno pripravljena hrana, pač pa zlasti izostren posluh za pričakovanja gostov, srčnost in prijaznost, s katero se vse to turistom ponuja. Levji delež v doseženem uspehu nedvoumno pritiče sedemletnemu delu in prizadevanjih zavoda Kultprotur, da Gornja Radgona zrase v prepoznavno destinacijo na turističnem zemljevidu Slovenije. Prejeta priznanja pa seveda pomenijo hkrati tudi zavezo, da na dobri poti ohranimo kondicijo, odpravimo pomanjkljivosti in doseženi uspeh še nadgrajujemo. Še vedno namreč velja, da smo turizem ljudje, saj je s svojim odnosom do okolice in soljudi lahko vsak posameznik pomemben kamenček v tem lepem mozaiku.

HERMAN ČATER

Herman Čater, upokojeni profesor angleškega jezika in književnosti, učitelj jadralnega padalstva in shiatsu, rojen 1941 v Celju. V svet fotografije ga je popeljal njegov oče. Je eden najboljših in najuspešnejših slovenskih izraznih fotografov današnjega časa. Sprva fotograf krajine, je največjo pozornost domače in svetovne javnosti pritegnil s serijo fotografij starca iz osrčja Slovenije. Številne nagrade na domačih in mednarodnih salonih so mu odprle vrata galerij doma in po svetu, tudi tistih najprestižnejših. Razstavljal je v Sloveniji, Italiji, Avstriji, ZDA, Nemčiji, Španiji, Rusiji, Urugvaju, Emiratih, Savdski Arabiji, na Hrvaškem in Slovaškem. Za uspehe, ki jih je dosegel, mu je Fotografska zveza Slovenije (FZS) leta 2008 podelila razstavljalski naslov Mojster fotografije FZS, Mednarodna fotografska zveza FIAP leta 2010 naziv odličnik oz. Excellence FIAP, leta 2012 pa je, šele drugi Slovenec, prejel naziv Master FIAP. Leta 2013 je prejel najvišje priznanje FZS - nagrado Janeza Puharja.

Leta 2006 je izdal svojo prvo fotografsko knjigo Dotik svetlobe, kateri so na to sledile Sibirija, knjiga portretov Stojana Kerblerja, Alineje in Okruški časa, ki jih je izdal skupaj z Juretom Kravanjo. Leta 1985 je zaradi klopnega meningoencefalitisa ohromel. Svojo desetletno uspešno rehabilitacijo in pomembno vlogo fotografije pri ozdravitvi je opisal v knjigi Ne odreci se sanjam. S fotografijami je opremil pesniško zbirko japonske pesnice Seiko Araki Gerl. Izdal je še fotografski monografiji Zgodovinsko mesto Jajce in mednarodno uspešno monografijo Stanko.

Je član Fotokluba Maribor in Umetniškega sveta FZS.

POZABLJEN

Fotografa je pritegnila samotna hiša, njen nenavadni prebivalec, njegov obraz, ki so ga izpisala desetletja, skromna, čadasta notranjščina, ki se je čudno lepo obarvala v motni svetlobi majhnih oken. Ob postopnem spletanju vezi so nastajale podobe, v katere zdaj, ko so pred nami, sejemo mnoge pomene, s pogledom drsimo prek predmetov, razbiramo etnološke posebnosti, se vživljamo v starčevo samotnost in se sprašujemo o socialnih razsežnostih njegovih bivanjskih razmer. Če pa za hip zapustimo opomenjeno stvarnost, se nam odprejo tudi tihi notranji svetovi, kjer so vtisi pomembnejši od smisla in so barve ter oblike sočnejše od besed …

HERMAN ČATER

Herman Čater, a retired professor of the English language and English literature, paraglider and shiatsu teacher, was born in Celje in 1941.

He is one of the best and most successful Slovene photographers of the present era. His father had already introduced him to the world of photography at a very young age. He started as a landscape photographer, but his series of pictures of an old man presented his most successful photographs. A number of Slovene and international awards gave him the possibility to exhibit in numerous galleries around the world. He has had a number of exhibitions in Slovenia, Italy, Austria, the USA, Germany, Spain, Russia, Uruguay, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Croatia and Slovakia. The Photographic Association of Slovenia gave him the title Master of Photography in 2008 and The International Federation of Art Photography (FIAP) gave him an Excellence FIAP Award in 2010 and a Master FIAP Award in 2012. In 2013 he received the highest recognition for creative photography from The Photographic Association of Slovenia, the Janez Puhar Award.

He published his first photo book The Touch of the Lightin 2006. Later followed the books Sibirija and Stojan Kerbler, and the monographies The Town of Žalec and Maribor, with Jure Kravanja. In 1985 he contracted viral meningitis which resulted in the paralysis of the upper part of his body.

He described his successful recovery in the book »Do Not Give Up Your Dreams«. His photos are included in the book of poetry »Stitch of Life« written by Seiko Araki Gerl and he published the monography »Jajce, a Historic Town in Bosnia« and the internationally successful monography Stanko.

He is a member of Fotoklub Maribor (Maribor Photo Club) and The Artistic Committee of the Photographic Association of Slovenia.

FORGOTTEN

The photographer was attracted by the lonely house, its unusual inhabitant, his face carved by decades; a modest, soothing interior coloured in an oddly beautiful way in the small windows dim light. Over a gradual developing of bonds, images arise into which we now, as they stand before us, sow many meanings, gliding over objects with a gaze, making out ethnological particularities, familiarising ourselves with the old man's solitude and asking ourselves about the social extensions of his living conditions.

But, if for a moment, we look beyond the objective reality, quiet inner worlds reveal themselves, in which impressions are more important than meaning, and colours and shapes are more succulent than words ...

IVO BORKO

Ivo Borko, rojen leta 1955, doktor veterinarske medicine iz Gornje Radgone, trenutno se ukvarja z založništvom. Čeprav se s fotografijo ukvarja že od dijaških let dalje, je bila prava prelomnica v njegovem fotografskem ustvarjanju leto 2008, ko je s somišljeniki v Gornji Radgoni ustanovil Fotoklub Proportio Divina, ki mu tudi predseduje.

Sprva se je ukvarjal predvsem z naravoslovno in popotniško fotografijo, zadnje čase pa postavlja v ospredje svojega fotografskega zanimanja človeka, pa naj si bo to kot nepozirani ali v zadnjem času vse bolj pogosto pozirani portret, akt ali celo objekt inscenirane fotografije.

Do sedaj je imel 27 samostojnih razstav v Sloveniji, Avstriji, Bolgariji in na Madžarskem. Sodeloval je na več kot 200 skupinskih razstavah v 45-ih deželah sveta in za svoje fotografije prejel že več kot 100 nagrad.

Od leta 2013 je nosilec fotografskega naziva Mojster fotografije pri FZS (MF FZS), od leta 2014 pa še zlati odličnik mednarodne zveze za fotografsko umetnost FIAP (EFIAP/g). Leta 2012 je bil proglašen za najuspešnejšega razstavljalca FZS. Od leta 2013 je predsednik Fotografske zveze Slovenije (FZS).

ZAKLETI GRAD IN DRUGE ZGODBE

... že več let raziskuje izrazne učinke, ki se pojavljajo ob soočanju golega ženskega telesa s propadajočimi stavbami. Avtor vodi modelke v na pol porušene slovenske gradove, bolgarske propadajoče hotele, zapuščena počitniška naselja ob Črnem morju. Razpadajoče sobane zavzemajo kačaste plezalke. Skupaj z ženskimi akti obujajo zdavnaj zamrlo življenje. Porajajo se slutnje veselja, žalosti, intime, ujetosti. V slepeči zunanji svetlobi zgorijo deli telesa. Boleče nam vrtajo v zavest. Širokokotni objektiv navpičnice preoblikuje v dramatične diagonale. Na zazidano okno v grajski kapeli je prislonjena lestev. Ni naslikana, kot so budistične. Ne vodi k razsvetljenju, prej k večni obsedenosti. Polžasto zavite stopnice vodijo iz prepada v temo. Vabljiva svetloba je lažna, ker ne oznanja izhoda. Posnetek za posnetkom veča brezup. V vsaki sobani preži na nas minljivost življenja. V vsaki sobani preži na nas minljivost naših del. Tudi umetniških fotografij!

Ko že obupujemo nad življenjem, nam Borko poda roko. Iztrga nas preteklosti. S svetlobo nam zariše pot k lepoti. Zunaj nas čaka življenje.

IVO BORKO

Ivo Borko was born in 1955 in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia. He graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Ljubljana but has been working as a publisher since 2007. Although he has been involved in photography since high school, his biggest turnaround came in 2008 when he and his friends founded Photo club Proportio Divina in Gornja Radgona, to which he contributes as its president. Since then he has been engaged in photography very seriously.

His photographic development extends from nature and travel in the early stages of his creativity, to portraits and female nudes in recent years. He has participated in over 200 group exhibitions in 45 different countries and has received more than 100 awards and distinctions. He has held 27 solo exhibitions in Slovenia, Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary. He was declared »Exhibitor of the Year 2012« by the Photographic Association of Slovenia (FZS). In the year 2013 he was declared a Master of Photography by the FZS and in the year 2014 he received an Excellence FIAP Gold Award (EFIAP/g) from The International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP).

He has been the president of the Photographic Association of Slovenia since 2013.

THE CURSED CASTLE AND OTHER STORIES

… for many years he has been exploring the expressive effects that occur when placing a naked female body in front of dilapidated buildings.

The author takes his models in half-demolished Slovenian castles, Bulgarian hotels that are falling apart or were never even finished, in the abandoned resort towns of the Black Sea. Chambers are taken over by snake-like climbers and long since dead lives are awakened by nudes.

This raises a premonition of joy, sadness, intimacy, entrapment. In blind outdoor light the parts of the body are burned and painfully dug into the consciousness. A wide-angle lens transforms the vertical lines into dramatic diagonals. The ladder is leant on a bricked-up window in the castle chapel. It is not painted like a Buddhist and it does not lead to enlightenment. On the contrary – it leads more to eternal obsession. A spiral staircase leads from the abyss to darkness. Attractive light is false, because it does not proclaim an exit. Shot after shot increases the sense of hopelessness. The transience of life, our work and even artistic photography is on the lookout for us in each room.

While we are giving up on life, Borko gives us the chance to move on from the past. He outlines the way to beauty with light. There is a life outside!

MAJA ŠIVEC

Fotografinja Maja Šivec živi in ustvarja v Mariboru. Fotografija je njena strast in način življenja. Diplomirala je na Pedagoški fakulteti na oddelku za likovno umetnost in Ekonomski poslovni fakulteti.

Glavna tema njenega ustvarjanja sta ženski in moški akt. Od leta 2000 dalje je aktivna članica Fotokluba Maribor in predsednica Kluba Amicusluminis. Je članica izvršilnega odbora Fotografske zveze Slovenije in Zveze kulturnih društev Maribor. Ministrstvo za kulturo ji je podelilo status samostojnega kulturnega ustvarjalca.

Organizira in vodi fotodelavnice in tečaje fotografije ter likovne dogodke. Samostojno in skupinsko razstavlja doma in v tujini. Imela je 37 samostojnih razstav v Sloveniji, državah bivše Jugoslavije, Avstriji in Italiji. Za svoja dela je prejela mnogo priznanj in nagrad.

Letos je že drugič prejela prestižno nagrado na 75. mednarodnem salonu Japonske.

SVETLOBA ŽIVLJENJA

Maja Šivec se že vrsto let posveča upodobitvi človeškega telesa, na način, ki ga je uveljavil veliki mojster fotografije Robert Mapplethorpe. Z mojstrom ju druži svetloba, ki poudari monumentalno lepoto čistih form, razhajata pa se v občutenju telesa. Če Mapplethorpove fotografije preveva heroično vzdušje kot dotik božanskega v iskanju idealnih form, so fotografije Maje Šivec kot dotik s pramaterijo in človečnostjo.

Richard Avedon je zapisal, da ljudje prihajajo k njemu na fotografiranje, kot bi prihajali k zdravniku ali vedeževalcu, da bi ugotovili, kako je z njimi. Mojster jih mora pritegniti in zbranost mora priti od njega, da potem zaobjame tudi njih ter jih poveže intenzivna zaupnost.

Nekaj podobnega bi lahko rekli tudi za Majo Šivec, ki je povabila k fotografiranju noseče ženske ter z njimi vzpostavila zaupen odnos, da so ji pozirale oz. še več; z njo vred so se predale posebnemu ritualu. Njihove poze in geste, četudi inscenirane, postanejo spontane in naravne. Linije izrišejo in forme poudarijo posebna duhovna stanja ženske in moškega v pričakovanju rojstva otroka in zavedanja o nadaljevanju življenja. Gre za prvinska čustva.

MAJA ŠIVEC

The photographer Maja Šivec lives and works in Maribor. Photography is her passion and her lifestyle. She graduated with a degree in Fine Art from the Faculty of Education and from the Faculty of Economics and Business. The main theme of her photography is male and female nudes. Since the year 2000 she has been an active member of Fotoklub Maribor (Maribor Photo Club) and she is the president of Klub Amicus luminis. She is a member of the executive committee of the Photography Association of Slovenia and The Cultural Association Society of Maribor. The Ministry of Culture awarded her the status of Independent Cultural Worker.

She organises and leads photo workshops, photography courses and art events. She has had solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. She has had 37 solo exhibitions in Slovenia and in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Austria and Italy. She has received many awards and honours for her work. This year she received a prestigious award at the 75th International Salon of Japan for the second time.

LIGHT OF LIFE

Maja Šivec has been depicting the human body in the style established by the great master of photography Robert Mapplethorpe. The two of them share the light that emphasises the monumental beauty of clear forms: however they differ in their perception of the body. If Mapplethorpe’s photographs are filled with a heroic atmosphere and a touch of the divine in his search for ideal forms, the photographs of Maja Šivec represent a touch of ancient matter and humanity.

Richard Avedon wrote that people visit him with the desire to be photographed for the same reasons they visit a doctor or a fortune teller - so that they can find out how they are doing. The master has to engulf them with his power of concentration, so that this concentration encompasses the portrayed subject and they together become linked in their intense confidentiality.

Something similar could be said of Maja Šivec who invited pregnant women to pose at her photo sessions. In order to do so she had to establish a confidential relationship with them, so that they posed for her, or even more so, together they created a special ritual. Their poses and gestures, even when staged, appear spontaneous and natural.

MATJAŽ ČATER

Matjaž Čater, član FD Svit Celje. Rodil se je leta 1967 v Celju. Po končani srednji šoli se je vpisal na Oddelek za gozdarstvo Biotehniške fakultete v Ljubljani, kjer je leta 1994 diplomiral, leta 1998 na Oddelku za gozdarstvo in obnovljive gozdne vire magistriral s področja gozdne ekofiziologije in gojenja gozdov ter leta 2001 doktoriral.

Poleg fotografije ljubi letenje, stara vzhodnjaška znanja, svojo ženo, družino in naravo, ki mu dajejo navdih. Je predvsem fotograf krajine, vendar so njegove fotografije drugačne, kot smo jih vajeni pri drugih fotografih, saj so večinoma posnete iz zraka. Svoja dela je predstavil na samostojnih razstavah doma in v tujini, fotografskih monografijah in tujih fotografskih revijah. Za njih je prejel več nagrad, FZS pa mu je na podlagi doseženih rezultatov leta 2012 podelila fotografski naziv Mojster fotografije FZS, mednarodna zveza za fotografsko umetnost FIAP pa že leto prej naziv Exellence FIAP.

MED SVETOVI

MATJAŽ ČATER

Matjaž Čater, a member of the Svit Photographic Association, Celje, was born in Celje in 1967. After high school he attended the Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Forestry, where he received a degree in 1994, a masters degree in 1998 and a doctorate in 2001.

Besides photography he loves flying, ancient Eastern knowledge, his wife, family and nature that inspires him. He is a landscape photographer and most of his photos are taken from above. His eternal theme, praise to nature - the landscapes, forests, trees and their game of play between light and shadows, have been presented at several photographic monographs and in foreign photo magazines. He has been awarded many times. In 2011 he received an EFIAP Award (Exellence FIAP) from the FIAP association, but in 2012 The Photographic Association of Slovenia awarded him the title of Master of Photography .

BETWEEN THE WORLDS

… slovenska krajina iz zraka, božansko osvetljena cerkvica na gričku, hmeljišče v Savinjski dolini, meglice in gradovi iz pravljičnega sveta, strehe domačega mesta … letalci v balonih, jadralnih letalih in sopotnice ptice. Naraščajoče svetlobe dneva, dramatičnih žarkov božjega očesa, prosevanja zemlje skozi koprene ali poetičnosti kadečega se tovarniškega dimnika se kljub digitalnim zmožnostim ne da ponarediti, samo ujame se jih lahko.

Nezavedno povzame tudi navdušenje slovenskih planinskih fotografov z Ojstrico, ki traja od leta 1897, ko je Celjan Magolič posnel Pogled na Ojstrico z Moličke planine ali za posnetek Ojstrice leta 1898 nagrajeni Vinko Čemernik - razlika je le v tem, da Matjaž leti mimo nje in nad njo.

Kljub strokovnim priznanjem fotografskih združenj doma in po svetu, ki jih avtor dobiva, sama uvrščam med največja priznanja tista, ki jih dajo ljudje sami, spontano. Njegovi zračni posnetki, predstavljeni na tuji internetni strani, imajo več milijonov ogledovalcev, po svetovnem spletu je zakrožila avtorjeva predstavitev fotografij, ki jo je uredil neznani španski občudovalec. Šele nato se je za te posnetke začela zanimati revija pri nas. Po objavi v reviji je svojo domačijo iz zraka prepoznal preprost človek in si je to fotografijo zaželel imeti doma, na zidu. Slednje je najboljši dokaz, da Matjaževe krajinske impresije izražajo mir in lepoto, zatočišči, ki ju iščemo vsi. Potopimo se v njihove globine …

… Slovenian landscapes from the air, a divinely illuminated church on a hill, hop fields in the Savinja valley, nebulae and castles of fairytales, the roofs of his home town ... friends in hot air balloons, gliders and accompanying birds. The increasing lights of the day, the dramatic rays of God's eye, reflecting the Earth through poetic mists or smoking factory chimneys could, in spite of today’s digital capabilities, not be falsified, just captured.

The author summarises his enthusiasm with Slovenian mountain photographers over Ojstrica Mt., which originates from 1897, as photographer Magolič filmed its view from Molička Mt. or a clip of Ojstrica from 1898, by the award-winning Vinko Čemernik; the only difference is that Matjaž flies past and over the peak.

Despite the recognition of professional photographic associations at home and abroad the author’s finest rewards are spontaneous recognitions made by people themselves. His aerial photos presented on foreign websites have millions of viewers; a presentation of his work edited by a Spanish admirer circulated around the web and only after that did some magazines become interested in his work... following their publication a man recognised the image of his home and wished to have the same image in his home, on the wall ...which is the best proof that Matjaž’s landscape impressions reflect peace and beauty, shelter, which we all are looking for. So let’s immerse ourselves in these depths…

IOANNIS LYKOURIS

Ioannis Lykouris, podpredsednik Fotografske zveze Grčije, rojen v Atenah, kjer še vedno živi in dela. Po diplomi na Pravni fakulteti v Atenah je študij nadaljeval v Parizu na Université de Pantheon-Sorbonne II. Dela kot pravnik na grški pošti. Govori grško, francosko, angleško in nemško.

Nad fotografijo se je navdušil že v svoji rani mladosti in pri 12. letih postal najmlajši član grške fotografske zveze. Zanimala ga je predvsem portretna in popotniška fotografija. Njegove fotografije so bile objavljene v številnih revijah. Razstavljal je na več kot 40-ih samostojnih in skupinskih razstavah doma in po svetu, za svoja dela pa prejel več nagrad in priznanj. V zadnjem času ga vse pogosteje vabijo za člana žirij mednarodnih fotografskih razstav. Leta 2002 mu je FIAP podelil razstavljalski naziv AFIAP (Artist FIAP), leta 2009 EFIAP (Excellence – odličnik) in lani, za umetniško navdahnjeno serijo fotografij, še najvišji naziv MFIAP (Mojster FIAP). Leta 1997 je bil izvoljen za grškega pooblaščenca za FIAP. Leta 2010 je bil na kongresu FIAP izvoljen za člana direktorata FIAP (International Federation of Photographic Art), kjer je najprej opravljal funkcijo direktorja za FIAP Bienale in podpredsednika Grške fotografske zveze, od leta 2012 pa opravlja funkcijo generalnega sekretarja FIAP. Za svoje organizacijsko delo pri FIAP in dosežke pri razvoju fotografije je leta 2007 prejel naslov EsFIAP in leta 2012 še HonEFIAP.

SOMATOGRAFIJA

Somatografija je sestavljenka iz dveh grških besed »soma« (telo) in »graphi« (pisanje), torej pisanje na telo ali pisanje s telesom. Glavna ideja je uporabiti telo kot izgovor ali raje kot orodje za »pisanje« v prostor okoli nas. Uporaba črnobele fotografije je nujna zaradi učinkov abstrakcije in možnosti, da se loči glavni subjekt od ozadja in dovoli, da se nekateri detajli prestavijo na drugi nivo. Telo se oddvoji od njegove tradicionalne vsebine in njegove oblike razkrijejo nove perspektive. Sence postanejo zelo pomembne in gledalca vodijo v drugačno realnost. V večnem dialogu spremenljivosti in čutnosti prikazanega telesa igra simetrija pomembno vlogo. Nekatere slike je potrebno pogledati od zgoraj navzdol z namenom, da ne gledamo telesa kot takega, ampak abstrakcijo za njim. Nasprotno se druge slike nanašajo na neke konkretne oblike, čeprav zelo različne od tega, kar pričakujemo na človeškem telesu, kot na primer črke abecede, vsakodnevne uporabne stvari, živali …

IOANNIS LYKOURIS

Ioannis Lykouris was born in Athens. He attended Law School at the University of Athens and was a postgraduate student at the Université de PantheonSorbonne II in Paris. He works as a lawyer in Greece and is currently the Legal Counsel of the Hellenic Post SA. He speaks Greek, French, English and German.

Interested in photography since the age of 12, he became the youngest member of the Hellenic Photographic Society and has worked a lot with portraits and travel photography. His works have been published in many travel magazines. His photographs have been distinguished many times at both national and international level with many awards and medals. His works have been presented in many countries, both in Greece and abroad, during more than 40 personal and group exhibitions. He is often called as a jury member at international photographic contests. In the year 2002, FIAP honoured him with the distinction of AFIAP (Artiste FIAP), soon followed by the distinction EFIAP (Excellence FIAP) (2009) and finally by the highest distinction MFIAP (Master of FIAP) in the year 2014, for his artistic inspiration and work. In 1997 he was elected as FIAP Liaison Officer for Greece and in 2010 as a Member of the Board of Directors of FIAP (International Federation of Photographic Art). In 2011 he assumed the responsibilities of both the Direction of the FIAP Biennial Service and of the Vice Presidency of the Hellenic Photographic Society. In 2012 he was elected as General Secretary of FIAP, to be re-elected two years later, during the 32nd FIAP congress. In recognition of his contribution to FIAP and to photography, FIAP also granted him the honourific distinctions of EsFIAP in 2007 and HonEFIAP in 2012.

SOMATOGRAPHIES

Somatographies: a compound word of Greek origin, from »soma« (body) and »graphi« (writing), therefore writing to the body or writing by the body. The main idea is to use the body as a pretext or rather as a tool in order to »write« in the space that surrounds it. The use of black and white is necessary due to its abstract effect and to its ability to separate the main subject from the background and to let some details get lost in a second level. The body is detached from its traditional volume so that its shape reveals new perspectives, where shadows are very important and the viewer is lead to an alternate reality. Symmetry plays a fundamental role in a perpetual dialogue with the fluidity and sensuality of the presented body. Some images should be viewed upside down, given that the aim is not the body as such but the abstract form behind it. Other images, on the contrary, may refer to some concrete forms, although quite different from what one would expect in a human body, such as letters of the alphabet, everyday objects or animals.

MITJA LIČAR

Mitja Ličar, rojen leta 1987 v Trbovljah, je po končani Gimnaziji in ekonomski srednji šoli Trbovlje začel študij na Fakulteti za varnostne vede, čez dve leti pa je vzporedno vpisal tudi študij na Visoki šoli za storitve, smer Fotografija. Poleg fotografske literature sta na njegovo pot najbolj vplivala fotograf in letalec Matevž Lenarčič ter mentor in profesor doc. Arne Hodalič.

TILEN SOTLER

Tilen Sotler, rojen leta 1980 v Trbovljah, je diplomiral na Fakulteti za računalništvo in informatiko v Ljubljani. Leta 2009 se je včlanil v Fotoklub Hrastnik in stopil na pot avtorske fotografije. Med najbolj izrazite vplive šteje prijateljsko-mentorsko navezo s Simonom Tanškom, direktorjem fotografije in tajnikom FK Hrastnik.

SKUPNA POT

Mitja Ličar in Tilen Sotler sta skupno fotografsko pot ubrala konec leta 2012. Ustvarjalni tandem je pokazal visok potencial že na začetku, saj sta kot prvi skupni projekt za revijo National Geographic Slovenija objavila 16-stransko reportažo ob 100. obletnici prve svetovne vojne.

Na kulturnem področju sta se prvič skupaj pojavila poleti 2014 z opusom Prizori iz knjižnice, ki je kot del umetniške inštalacije gostoval na Zasavje Noise Fest International. Prizori iz knjižnice so istega poletja gostovali še v muzeju občine Šenčur. Avtorja sta s projektom Iber Ekšn aktivna tudi na komercialnem področju, kjer se ukvarjata z mešanico kreativne fotografije in digitalne retuše.

KOLINEARNOST

Na prvi pogled enostavna forma banalnega kolaža razdeljenih obrazov, ki angažiranega opazovalca pripelje dalje do socioloških vprašanj o vplivu družbe na posameznika. Dela, na katerih je portretiranec s svojo grimaso soavtor, so pri fotografiranju in povečavi narejena z istimi fotografskimi parametri, kar omogoča nepopačeno primerjavo fizionomije vseh obrazov. Sociološko-fotografska dvoživka, katere zunanji del smo vsi mi.

doc. mag. Simon Tanšek

MITJA LIČAR

Born in 1987, Mitja Ličar started his studies at the Faculty of Criminal justice and Security after graduating from high school. After two years he began his studies of photography at VIST. The aerial photographer Matevž Lenarčič and professor Arne Hodalič are among his main influences.

TILEN SOTLER

Born in 1980, Tilen Sotler graduated from the Faculty of Computer and Information Science. Although photography has always been part of his life he took it to a higher level after becoming a member of FK Hrastnik. He considers his friend and mentor Simon Tanšek (DOP, secretary of FK Hrastnik) as one of his main influences.

CO-AUTHORSHIP

Their collaboration as co-authors has proved to bevery fertile in their early beginnings in 2012. National Geographic Slovenia Magazine published their 16-page story on the 100th anniversary of the First World War. “Scenes From a Library” was their first conceptual project and was hosted at Zasavje Noise Fest International as part of an art installation. In the same year it was also displayed at the Museum of the Municipality of Šenčur. Among other projects the authors are active with their commercial project Iber Ekšn combining a creative approach to photography with digital retouching.

COLLINEARITY

Albeit trivially simple at first glance, this split-face collage raises numerous sociological questions regarding the influence of society on the individual. Shot and finalised with the use of the same parameters, the photographs allow for an uncontorted face physiognomy comparison. The portrayed people contribute as co-authors by making individual grimaces. Finally, all the separameters are mashed together into a socio-photographical amphibian with us as its perceivable object.

KRANJSKA FOTOGRAFIJA OD PUHARJA DO DANES CARNIOLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY FROM PUHAR TO Kranj se je v zgodovino fotografije vpisal že leta 1842, samo tri leta THE PRESENT po epohalnem izumu fotografije Francoza Louisa Daguerrea. Kranjčan Janez Puhar, prvi slovenski fotograf, je namreč razvil povsem svojevrsten postopek fotografije na steklu in se z njim uvrstil med pionirje te dejavnosti. Za svoj izum je prejel strokovna priznanja na Dunaju, v Parizu in na treh razstavah svetovnih dosežkov v Londonu, New Yorku in Parizu.

Fotografska tradicija v Kranju se je začela s Puharjem, njemu pa so sledili mnogi fotografi, ki so delovali še pred organizacijo prvega društva.

Pričujoča razstava je sestavljena iz dveh retrospektivnih predstavitev in izbora fotografij nekaterih aktualnih avtorjev sedanjega kranjskega fotografskega društva, ki nosi Puharjevo ime.

Prvi del razstave je nastal ob 200. obletnici rojstva Janeza Puharja in je v celoti posvečen izumitelju fotografije na steklo, Janezu Puharju.

Pripravila ga je njegova daljna sorodnica Petra Puhar. Ta del razstave predstavlja Puharjevo življenjsko pot od rojstnega Kranja in Ljubljane, kjer se je šolal, ter vseh krajev, v katerih je služboval kot kaplan.

Predstavlja njegove talente in dosežke na drugih področjih delovanja, postopek izdelave fotografije na steklo in prikazuje njegovo dediščino. Ta razstava je v Puharjevem letu prepotovala vseh 12 krajev Slovenije, v katerih je Janez Puhar živel. Gostovala je tudi na Češkem.

Drugi del razstave je temeljit nabor gradiva, ki ga je zbral ddr. Damir Globočnik, kustos za fotografijo v Gorenjskem muzeju. Zajema predstavitve v Sloveniji ohranjenih dagerotipij, dela prvega slovenskega popotniškega fotografa Christiana Payerja, prvega stalnega poklicnega fotografa Ivana Jagodica, dotakne se »Prvega Slovenskega kluba fotografov amaterjev iz Kranja« in predstavlja fotografsko delovanje v Kranju med obema vojnama. Posebej se fokusira na delovanje kranjskega kluba v povezavi z dvema pomembnima avtorjema in pobudnikoma promocije fotografije, Janeza Marenčiča in Marka Aljančiča. Ta del razstave prikazuje tudi dela drugih kranjskih fotografov od 1948 do 2014.

Po materialih Petre Puhar in ddr. Damirja Globočnika zapisal Vasja Doberlet.

The first record of the town of Kranj in the history of photography was as early as the year 1842, a mere three years after the Frenchman Louis Daguerre invented photography. Janez Puhar, a native of Kranj and the first Slovene photographer, developed a unique process of glass plate photography which placed him high among the pioneers of photography. He enjoyed international acclaim and was conferred with several international awards for his invention by committees in Vienna and Paris and at three exhibitions of global achievements held in London, New York and Paris.

The photographic tradition in Kranj, which began with Puhar’s work, has since been pursued by a wealth of photographers, many of whom were active long before the first photographic association was formed.

This exhibition is a combination of two retrospective presentations and a selection of photographs of several currently active photographers, members of the Janez Puhar Photographic Society, Kranj.

The first part of the exhibition is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Janez Puhar and has been organised by his distant relative Petra Puhar. It takes us on a journey through Puhar's life from his birthplace in Kranj to Ljubljana, where he attended ecclesiastical college, and then to several other postings in Slovenia where he served as a priest. It is a presentation of his talents and achievements across several disciplines in addition to photography, his process of glass plate photography and his heritage. Recently, in the year when we celebrated the 200th anniversary of his birth, this exhibition visited all 12 places across Slovenia where Janez Puhar lived and worked and it also travelled to the Czech Republic as a visiting exhibition.

The second part of the exhibition is a comprehensive collection of material gathered by Dr. Damir Globočnik, curator of photography at Gorenjska Museum. It encompasses a presentation of daguerreotypes still preserved in Slovenia to date, the works of the first Slovenian photo journalist Christian Payer, and of the first full-time professional photographer Ivan Jagodic, quickly making reference to “the first Slovenian Society of Amateur Photographers, Kranj” and showing works of Slovene photographers during the two wars. A special section is devoted to the activities of the Janez Puhar Photographic Society, Kranj exhibiting the works of two important artists and publicists of photography, Janez Marenčič and Marko Aljančič, in addition to numerous works of photographers from Kranj over the period from 1948 to 2014.
