Workshops have been introduced as a contribution to the production and interpretation in the field of contemporary art.
The workshops are not open to the general public. For each workshop an open invitation for participation is published.

Workshops on the concepts of contemporary visual practice

Through actual methods and cases the series of workshops introduce the participants to the conceptual and reflective operation in the sphere of the contemporary art world and encourage artists to analyse and reflect on their own artistic practices.

We are trying to deal with current themes important for the understanding of the contemporary artistic practice and its context: from the function of art and the role of the artist in a social, cultural and political context, his/her inclusion within the art system to the issue of responsibility in the production and post-production process.

With the aid of conceptual techniques, methods, procedures and approaches related to their own practices foreign and Slovene experts work with the participants on a practical case and strive to achieve concrete results.

Workshops on the theory and criticism of contemporary art

This series of workshops is oriented towards a deeper theoretical dealing with the various methods of theory and criticism in contemporary art. Within their frame the participants try themselves out on a practical case.

Foreign and Slovene experts present different ways of interpreting contemporary art production, they analyse the rules of writing texts and their construction and place them into thematic blocs or genres, such as for instance: column, foreword, review, critique, essay, polemics, etc. On a practical level, the participants are introduced to the knowledge of reading and writing texts.
