Exhibition Opening: Kiki Klimt and Domen Kotnik – Little Hill
The Association of Visual Artists of Dolenjska, Bela Krajina and Posavje warmly invites you to the opening of the exhibition Little Hill, which will take place at ULTI Gallery in Novo mesto on Monday, 27 July 2026, at 7.00 pm. The exhibition will remain on view until 11 September 2026.
The exhibition presents the latest works by Assoc. Prof. Dr Kiki Klimt and Assoc. Prof. Dr Domen Kotnik. Visitors will have the opportunity to view twelve sculptures created as part of the artists’ collaborative project, conceived specifically for ULTI Gallery.
At the opening, the artists will introduce the project, discussing both its development and the ideas behind it. The exhibition is rooted in a personal story about a small hill beneath the Gorjanci Hills, a place that, for Kiki Klimt, embodies memories, family gatherings and friendship. From its summit, the view stretches as far as the Štajerska (Styria) region. Its symbolism, however, extends beyond the physical landscape, inviting reflection on the relationship between people, nature and art. It was for this reason that the artist invited her colleague and friend, Domen Kotnik, to collaborate on the project.
Little Hill carries many layers of meaning. It speaks of friendship, family, care for the environment and our relationship with art, while at the same time offering visitors space for personal interpretation and individual experience.
Throughout the exhibition, guided tours with the artist will take place every Friday at 5.00 pm.
ULTI Gallery, located at Glavni trg 1, Novo mesto, is open Wednesdays and Fridays from 4.00 pm to 7.00 pm. Guided visits and workshops outside regular opening hours can also be arranged by prior appointment for groups of more than ten visitors. Admission is free during the gallery’s opening hours.
