The World of Art, School for Contemporary Art, has been operating for eleven years: it developed in 1997 out of a need for theoretical and practical education in the field of contemporary art in Slovenia. Former Course for curators, now transformed into Laboratorium programe, is formed as part of the effort of the World of Art to establish a platform for discussion on curatorial practices in the field of contemporary art.
Laboratorium of Curatorial Practices is researching the system of contemporary art and possible ways of collaboration within it. It focuses at analysis, contextualisation and valorization of the former achievements of the World of Art which, as the only Slovene program in the field of education in contemporary visual art, has formed a generation of young Slovene curators.
The public activities of Laboratorium take place at the Project Room SCCA, discussions and reflections between the participants also occur on the Internet (through forums and mailing lists), and regular informal meetings. Laboratorium is conceived experimentally and demands active involvement of participants within its working process.
In the frame of Laboratorium we will research contemporary art practise and various ways of curatorial work. From January till May 2008 we will organize several public events (discussions, talks, interventions) at the Project Room SCCA. In June 2008 we will prepare final exhibition of laboratorium at Alkatraz Gallery.
Saša Nabergoj and Petja Grafenauer Krnc will are leading Laboratorium of Curatorial Practices along with external collaborators and advisors.
