Exhibiting in Slovenia III

The third symposium continues with in-depth investigations into practices of exhibiting art, architecture, and design in Slovenia. At this year’s symposium, selected exhibitions, institutions, and other phenomena involved in exhibiting art are again discussed chronologically and from various perspectives. With Exhibiting in Slovenia symposium series we aim to better understand both the medium of the exhibition and the internal logic and workings of the Slovenian art system. We discuss how and why a certain exhibition practice occurs and becomes established, its relationship with the exhibited objects and art in general, and its interaction with political and other non-art discourses and agendas.

The symposium is free of charge; it is held in Slovene, Croatian, Serbian, and English. The programme and symposium booklet are available at: https://igorzabel.org/en/news/2024/Exhibiting-in-Slovenia-III
