LECTURE BY PROF. DR. JOŽICA ČEH-STEGER: POET FIRST22.03.24
Friday, March 29 2024, 17:00, Glazer Hall
The lecture, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Rudolf Maister Vojanov's birth, is organised by the University of Maribor Library, the Union of Cultural Societies of Maribor, and the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of Maribor. Following the lecture, there will be an opportunity for discussion.
Dr Jožica Čeh-Steger, a literary historian and full professor of Slovenian literature at the Faculty of Arts at the University of Maribor, will be presenting. She earned her degrees in Slovene and German from the University of Maribor, completing her Master's degree at the University of Ljubljana with a thesis on Župančič's poetry, followed by a PhD dissertation on Cankar's short prose. Since 1995, she has been teaching at the University of Maribor, with a brief stint as a lecturer in Slovene at the University of Graz. Her research focuses on Slovenian, Austrian, and Croatian modern literature, and she is the author of numerous publications in scholarly journals, as well as six monographs. This wealth of experience promises an engaging exploration of the poetic legacy of Maribor's most significant citizen.
The event will be conducted in Slovene.
HANS JOACHIM UTHKE: DRAWINGS BASED ON GEORG CHRISTOPH LICHTENBERG'S APHORISMS
HANS JOACHIM UTHKE: DRAWINGS BASED ON GEORG CHRISTOPH LICHTENBERG'S APHORISMS22.03.24
Lobby
In this exhibition, the author presents original works inspired by the aphorisms of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, the multi-faceted German thinker renowned for his contributions to physics, mathematics, geophysics, chemistry, meteorology, and aphorism.
Hans Joachim Uthke, from Hilden in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a familiar name in the Slovenian cultural scene. His active involvement in numerous DLUM art colonies and exhibitions has endeared him to the audience. Notably, last year, he showcased his pieces in Slovenia, employing a distinctive mixed media approach featuring watercolour, ink, and coloured pencil on paper, all based on his own aphorisms.
This time, Uthke turns his attention to the aphorisms of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799), paying homage to the German polymath's diverse talents and intellectual legacy, particularly his notable annotations in The Waste Books. Lichtenberg's profound influence is underscored by the existence of the Lichtenberg Aphorist Society in Germany, dedicated to celebrating his literary expertise. Uthke's approach diverges from mere illustration; instead, he utilises Lichtenberg's aphorisms as a wellspring of inspiration for his own artistic motifs. His renderings evoke the stylised, archaic aesthetic of the late 19th century, reminiscent of popular publications from that era.
Curated by Mario Berdič Codella, the exhibition promises a captivating exploration of Uthke's interpretations of Lichtenberg's aphorisms.
On display until 8 June 2024.
BOOK PRESENTATION: SLOVENIAN GRAZ
BOOK PRESENTATION: SLOVENIAN GRAZ 22.03.24
Tuesday, 26 March 2024, 17:00, Glazer Hall
Simon Ošlak-Gerasimov's book subtitled Star Moments of Slovenian Culture in the Styrian Capital: From the Naming of the City to the Establishment of the Slovenian Reading Room, will be presented by the author. The event is co-organised by the University of Maribor Library, the Maribor Austrian Reading Room, and other collaborators.
The bilingual book Slovenski Gradec/Slowenisches Graz (Slovenian Graz) narrates the history of the city through the lens of Slovenian culture and its impact on the historical evolution of the Mur metropolis. Graz shares numerous connections with Slovenia in literature, science, and commerce. As the capital of Inner Austria and a significant university hub, Graz played a pivotal role in the nurturing of Slovenian culture, with notable figures like Janez Puh and Jože Plečnik contributing significantly during their time there. The book recounts the pivotal moments of Slovenian culture in the Styrian capital, spanning from the city's christening to the establishment of the Slovenian Reading Room in 2013. Additionally, it includes a bilingual city map detailing various landmarks associated with Slovenia.
