September 2024, venue: Chifte Amam Retrospective exhibition of Zlatko Trajkovski – Hinki
Zlatko Trajkovski Hinki is a visual artist who worked in the context of post-modernist work and one of the first artists to use video, installation, and performance as mediums in his artistic activity. The exhibition will indicate the relationships between two important modalities of his work: the figure of the fusion of traditional and modern materials/mediums and the figure of the time capsule.
September 2024, venue: Chifte Amam "Working" by Goce Nanevski in collaboration with Dorian Milovanovic It is an interdisciplinary research project that locates its interest in the aspects of the state "at work" (literally) and the consequences it provokes. The project encompasses insights into four themes: perception, audibility, silence, and zero. The author's intention is to explore seemingly simple situations that partially delve into the scientific but also frozen images of intuition with little or no awareness of them.
September 2024, venue: Daut Pasha Amam Vangel Kodzoman, Jubilee Exhibition on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of birth
Vangel Kodzoman, one of the founders of modern Macedonian painting. His artistic work is extensive, created in various periods and marks the development of Macedonian contemporary art. He worked in various techniques and themes, multiple genres through immense interest in portraiture, self-portraiture, landscape composition, old-town architecture, caricature, social, and historical themes.
October 2024, venue: Chifte Amam Retrospective exhibition of Bedi Ibrahim
Bedi Ibrahim is a sculptor whose syncretic colored visual language is globally generated from the Euro-Asian cultural circle. Decoding the signs inevitably leads the observer from one unknown narrative horizon to another. The superiority of his bilingual cultural code, with authentic coloration, will greatly enrich and ennoble the Macedonian artistic context.
October 2024, venue: Chifte Amam "Shadows," Emil Shulajkovski - solo exhibition
Emil Shulajkovski's three-decade-long painting work is based on the basic painterly postulate - color, as a visual perception through which the essence of painting is realized. Shulajkovski's imaginary worlds reflect the poetic feeling of the atmosphere, reflecting a kind of theosophy, anthroposophy that celebrates the "joy of living" through a pantheistic life and artistic philosophy.
October-November 2024, venue: Daut Pasha Amam Risto Lozanoski 1923-2023,
Jubilee Exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of birth A retrospective-monographic presentation of Risto Lozanoski is made on the occasion of the jubilee 100 years since the birth of one of the founders of Macedonian modern art. Risto Lozanoski belongs to the post-war generation of painters who bring a new spirit to Macedonian visual art. He is the founder and member of the art group "Denes," which brings freshness and opens new currents in Macedonian contemporary visual art.
November 2024, venue: Chifte Amam Parodia Divina, Strahil Petrovski - solo exhibition
Visual breviary of humanism - The multidisciplinary project "Parodia Divina" (Divine Parody) in its very title is an open allusion to the imaginative vision - the "dream" of Dante Alighieri called "Divine Comedy." At a higher level, Strahil Petrovski's project, but also his previous work, decisively raises the question of the artist's engagement today and the role of art in society.
November 2024, venue: Daut Pasha Amam Stefan Manevski 1934-2024,
Jubilee Exhibition on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of birth Stefan Manevski, who belongs to the generation of sculptors who brought a new spirit to Macedonian sculpture thought. His beginnings (1963/64) were actually linked to an inventive series of informal drawings. Later, the author gradually refines the form and simplifies the morphology of his sculptural language.
November 2024, venue: Mala Stanica Jubilee Exhibition 30 years of the work of Bashkim Medziti

December 2024, venue: Chifte Amam Solo exhibition of Ljulzime Leka - Mulaku "Metamorphosis 2"
Ljulzime Leka-Mulaku's visual representation is closely linked to the idea of the female phenomenon in our society and represents its disproportional presence in a visible form. The theme of the exhibition "Metamorphosis 2" represents the lack of a real view of existential aesthetic values, such as the woman.
