a series of lectures / conversations with the lecturers / lecturers



A SERIES OF LECTURES

Every year we organise a series of public lectures on a specific theme. In 1997 six (Slovene and foreign) lecturers held lectures on Conceptual Art of 1960's and 1970's, in 1998 seven lecturers passed on their thoughts on the Theories of Display, in 1999 seven lecturers discussed Geo-Politics and Art and in 2000/2001 eleven lecturers held lectures on the Strategies of Presentation. In the fifth year (2001/2002) of the program five lectures on the theme Strategies of Presentation 2 took place with two more planned for October 2002.

The lectures are held in Ljubljana in the Škuc Gallery or Kapelica Gallery and are free of charge. In 1999 the lectures were also repeated in the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Celje, and in the year 2000/2001 they were partially repeated in the Municipal Gallery Nova Gorica, with which we continue to operate also in the year 2002.

The lectures and (since 1998) the conversations with the lecturers - performed by our long-time associate, Eda Čufer, which present the lecturers in a broader context of their activities and endeavours - are published every year in the World of Art Anthology.
