The exhibition Hills and Valleys and Mineral Resources<\/em> is the first comprehensive overview of the artistic activity of Tadej Poga\u010dar and The P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Arts. The exhibition comprises a selection of most important projects created in the last few decades which have significantly marked contemporary artistic production. The exhibition will present texts, objects, artefacts, documents, installations and video works from the second half of the 1970s (the series called No Events Actions) to the public projects and actions of the 1990s \u2013 among them, the pioneer project \u201cKings of the Street\u201d (1994\u20131995), which first set out a collaboration with the social minority of Ljubljana\u2019s homeless people, and the long term collaborative project CODE:RED (1999\/2000\u2013present), which researches models of self-organising among marginalised urban minorities, parallel economic practices, etc.<\/p>\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar examines\u00a0indeterminacy\u00a0and transformation within social systems. He engages in interventionist logic, institutional critique and critical research on social and political issues as well as participatory and collaborative projects.<\/p>\n

P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Arts is a virtual institution, established in 1993. It has taken a number of forms and roles: from organising activist events, designing collaborative platforms, intervening into the urban structure of cities, to holding street actions, making interventions in museum collections and archives, designing new educational games, documenting parallel economic models and constructing unplanned architecture. The P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum has evolved its own operational strategy: \u201cNew Parasitism\u201d and, since 1993, has published the Journal for Anthropology and New Parasitism<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar is also the founder and managing director of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute (established in 1998), a non-profit cultural institution that operates the P74 Gallery<\/a> and the KAPSULA artist book bookshop<\/a>\/project space. The P74 Gallery is the leading independent space for contemporary art in Ljubljana. Its mission is to foster the exchange and promote innovative and challenging models in contemporary art and culture both locally and internationally. In the last fifteen years its programmes have focused on the support, presentation, study and promotion of contemporary visual art, performance, time-based art, and publishing. Since its founding, P74 has organised numerous discursive research projects and workshops, which serve as the basis of its programme. These include Art in the Public Space<\/em>, Parallel Economies<\/em>, Public Phenomena<\/em>, Ready to Change<\/em>, Local Cartographies<\/em>, Reality Log \/ Environmental Scan <\/em>and The Renaming Machine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Poga\u010dar has exhibited widely, most recently at the Visor Gallery, Valencia (2014); Gallery for Contemporary Art\u00a0in Leipzig (2012), the ZKM \u2013 Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe (2011\u20132012), the Vojvodina Museum of Contemporary Art in Novi Sad (2011), and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova in Ljubljana (2011), as well as at biennials in S\u00e3o Paulo, Venice, Istanbul, Prague and Tirana and at Manifesta 1<\/em> in Rotterdam. He has also had exhibitions at the MUMOK in Vienna (2009), the San Francisco Art Institute (2007), the NGBK in Berlin (2007), the Stedelijk Museum (2004), the Central House of Artists in Moscow and the Museo de Arte Carillo Gil in Mexico City.<\/p>\n
