Fri., 3 Feb. 2012, 8 p.m. Mon., 7 Feb. 2012, 6 p.m. —<\/p>\n About the P74 Center and Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n The founding of the P74 Center and Gallery in Ljubljana fifteen years ago introduced a new model for art institutions and new methods for producing exhibitions; at the same time, it represented an important shift from the traditional “objective” exhibition model to more discursive ways of working. With its peripheral location \u2013 on the city margins, between the urban and the rural \u2013 P74 occupied a key strategic position.<\/p>\n In recent years, P74 has played a decisive role in establishing collaborations between artists, scholars, and scientists \u2013 which includes, and educates within, a culturally neglected environment. By combining a sensitive attitude toward the local community and local issues with, at the same time, intensive international connections, the P74 Center and Gallery devised a new model for an independent cultural institution, one that advocates a “glocal” approach and understanding of culture, the environment, and reciprocal relationships. It offered Ljubljana a new way to think about non-governmental cultural institutions and a new role for independent centres of contemporary art and culture in the new century.<\/p>\n P74\u2019s very first project, For the Quality of Life (1997) \u2013 which featured the artists Marija Mojca Punger\u010dar, Alenka Pirman, Maja Licul, and Ana Marija \u0160majdek and curator Tadej Poga\u010dar \u2013 problematized its own institutional frame and the artist\/curator relationship, while also demanding the public\u2019s direct participation. (People entering the gallery had to complete a questionnaire, on the basis of which their personality type was determined \u2013 as in the tests in popular lifestyle magazines; depending on their type, they were they subjected to “colour therapy”, i.e. being immersed in coloured light. In addition, they took part in “reflexotherapy” and were given instructions for losing weight. The exhibited artefacts were displayed in well-conceived way that exposed their mutual relationships; several of them were based on an event, shared use, and critical questioning.)<\/p>\n In its first year, the programme of the P74 Center and Gallery focused on educational workshops based on openness and intergenerational collaboration. Slovene visual and intermedia artists of different generations \u2013 people who did not know each other \u2013 were brought together in shared creativity and learning. P74\u2019s beginnings, then, were marked by programmes that offered systematic support to the youngest generation of artists, and it was here that several generations of visual and intermedia artists prepared their first, or very early, projects. They included Sa\u0161o Vrabi\u010d, \u017diga Kari\u017e, Gorazd Krnc, Miha \u0160trukelj, Arjan Pregel, Jaka \u017deleznikar, Lada Cerar, Vesna Bukovec, Metka Zupani\u010d, Nika Oblak, Tanja La\u017eeti\u0107, Dejan Habicht, Matej Stupica, Uro\u0161 Poto\u010dnik, and Matej Pe\u010dnikar, among others.<\/p>\n In 2006, the P74 Gallery, working with American partners, established the OHO Award (the award is part of a broader international network known as the Young Visual Artist Awards). This independent award, which is intended to support and promote young visual artists (up to the age of 35), is the central prize for young artists in Slovenia.<\/p>\n Over the years, many interdisciplinary discursive projects have been developed at the P74 Center and Gallery. They include “The Linden Tree of \u0160entvid” by Michael Ilg (1999), “The Taste of City” (1999, in collaboration with the \u0160kuc Gallery), “Tongue:Jezik” by Peter Walsh and Deidre Hoguet (2003), “Local Issues” by Vesna Bukovec (2003), “Ready 2 Change” by Polonca Lov\u0161in and Ur\u0161ka Jurman (2004), “Informal Economies” (2006), “Art as Research” (2007), “Public Phenomena” (2007) by Temporary Services, and “The Renaming Machine” by Suzana Milevska (2008\u20132010). These projects, at the intersection of different disciplines, dealt with such topics as the micro-local, centre\/periphery, language and ideology, direct participation, self-organization, energy alternatives, informal economic models, and the transformation of the public space. <\/p>\n In its fifteen years, P74 has hosted more than 300 exhibition events, lectures, discussions, workshops, and concerts, with the participation of more than 700 artists, curators, speakers, and experts.<\/p>\n P74 has introduced Ljubljana to such important international artists as Hito Steyerl (Berlin), Pablo Helguerra (New York and Mexico City), Michael Ilg (Berlin), Temporary Services (Chicago), Peter Walsh (New York), Jenny Perlin (New York), Paula Roush (London), Yona Friedman (Paris), Carla Accardi (Rome), and Geta Bratescu (Bucharest). <\/p>\n Also, some of the most important artists from Central and South-eastern Europe had their solo shows in Ljubljana at P74: Sanja Ivekovi\u0107, Goran Trbuljak, Dalibor Martinis, Grupa 143, and Dan and Lia Perjovschi, among others. <\/p>\n Many significant curators, both Slovene and international, have been involved in organizing and preparing P74\u2019s programmes: Katia Angelova, Sarah Carrington, Sophie Hope, Christian Kravagna, Julia Schaeffer, Branka Stipan\u010di\u0107, Darko \u0160imi\u0161i\u0107, Suzana Milevska, Jotte Jull Petersen, Mi\u0161ko \u0160uvakovi\u0107, Zdenka Badovinac, Ur\u0161ka Jurman, Dunja Kukovec, Bojana Pi\u0161kur, Igor \u0160panjol, Barbara Sterle Vurnik, Igor Zabel, and others.<\/p>\n In recent years, the P74 Center and Gallery has played a central role in promoting the medium of the artist book. In 2003, the Artist Book Collection of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute was created (today comprising around 400 individual works by Slovene and foreign artists), and in 2007, the first Artist Book Seminar was held; this is an educational programme that includes talks, workshops, and exhibitions. P74 has also successfully promoted artist books by local authors at many exhibitions and art book fairs in Paris, Brussels, London, Berlin, and New York. <\/p>\n Along with visual and intermedia art, the P74 Center and Gallery also organizes a successful programme of experimental music. In 2003, it launched Sound Explicit, a series of concerts and other events devoted to innovative and experimental music, which to date has presented dozens of musical artists and creators.<\/p>\n In 2006, the P74 Center and Gallery received the Golden Nest Award for its successful, innovative, and insightful work in the field of contemporary art.<\/p>\n The programme of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia and the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Ljubljana.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Contact: Gallery hours:
