Seminar in Writing on Contemporary Art

The Seminar in Writing on Contemporary Art will fill the gap in the theoretical and critical reflection and encourage writings on contemporary artistic practices. It will be composed of a nine months long series of workshops and lectures under the mentorship of Miško Šuvaković and Igor Zabel.

The mentorship work will take place in the form of regular fortnightly meetings (reading and analysis of texts as well as individual essay writing) as well as through e-mail. Once a month workshops will take place (7), which will be intended to overview the various writing genres and media presentations as well as their practical applications.

The seminar will take place in Slovenian, Serbian and Croatian languages.

Deadline for applications: Thursday 7th October 2004

  The Course for Curators

The curatorial course is the only program in Slovenia oriented towards practical and theoretical education in the field of contemporary art. It derives from the idea that the future experts should be taught the skills and methods, which will help them at their dealings with the complex matter of the world of art.

The course enables broader knowledge related to the work of a curator when drafting the concept and setting up exhibitions. The chosen course attendees will be under the guidance of mentors from November 2004 to September 2005. During this period they will form a concept for the exhibition and set it up in the Škuc Gallery. The course also includes workshops intended for gaining practical knowledge (public relations, organising exhibitions, etc.), meetings with artists and curators as well as study trips across Slovenia and Croatia.

Slovenian language is a necessity in order to participate at the course.

Deadline for applications: Thursday 7th October 2004
