The timeline with school’s twenty-year long continuity in educational process and a review of the public lectures, seminars and workshops, produced in collaboration with local and international lecturers and institutions, was presented at the exhibition re- Exhibition on the Occasion of the Twentieth Anniversary of the World of Art at Škuc Gallery in Ljubljana.
The timeline provided a reading at three levels: through the list of guest lecturers that have prepared public lectures, workshops and seminars; through the range of citations; and through the key concepts that have contributed to the understanding of the developments and issues in the field of both, contemporary curatorial, as well as visual, practices and theories.
