In May 2019, the first major exhibition for Josip Štolcer Slavenski’s 123rd birthday took place under the motto 123 SLA VEN SKI, which was created in cooperation with the artists Stefan Jovanović, Marija Knežević and Ivana Vukobrad. In addition to the exhibition there was a musical performance by the artist group Petar Drapšin. The exhibition venue was the Ostavinska Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia.

Since autumn 2015 I have been re­sear­ching the life and work of one of the most impor­tant and ori­gi­nal Yugo­slav avant-garde com­po­sers of the 20th cen­tury: Josip Štolcer Slavenski. In addition to his impres­sive work, what fasci­nates me and spurs my research is the cur­rent treat­ment of Sla­ven­ski by today's succes­sor peoples of Yugo­slavia. Where other nations would praise a master like Slavenski, little atten­tion is paid to him. Actually, he is hardly known.

I started to organize an event every year for Slavenski’s birthday on May 11th. Be it an exhibition, workshop, concert or online presentation, every year I take a new approach with the aim of showing a work on that date that was inspired by him. Accordingly, it is important to me to involve people from the fields of art and music in the project. To me it is essential to collaborate with museums, music schools, musicians, other events, musicologists, galleries and artists. You can read about the 122nd anniversary exhibition at Palmas Gallery in Belgrade here. For the 124th slaven.ski was created with detailed information about the history and the music of the composer. For the 125th anniversary year, 125 posters were created and exhibited in Görlitz. More about this here.
