 Dolenjska Museum Novo mesto, Muzejska ulica 7, 8000 Novo mesto KERAMIKA NOVO MESTO AND ARTISTS 1. June to 11. October 2009 Opening hours Curator: Ivica Križ KERAMIKA, a factory producing stoves, kitchen ranges, stoneware and chamotte products, was founded by Josip KLEMENČIČ in 1923 and continued the tradition of Novo Mesto's first stove-making workshop, founded by the APPÉ brothers in 1892. In the 1930s KERAMIKA produced, besides tiles for stoves, a range of creamware ceramics products, some for practical use and others purely decorative, in collaboration with a number of Slovene artists. The exhibition includes a selection of tiles produced to various designs and some examples of creations in ceramics by Julij PAPIČ, Dana PAJNIČ and Srečko KOTAR. In the second half of the 1980s and the early 1990s, the artist Tomaž Kržišnik collaborated with the KERAMIKA factory in Novo Mesto. The exhibition includes a selection of his small ceramic sculptures and a photographic presentation of his work in ceramics in connection with decoration and architecture.
