The World of Art, School for Contemporary Art, has been operating for ten years: it developed in 1997 out of a need for theoretical and practical education in the field of contemporary art in Slovenia.

 

This year, the program Laboratorium 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.

 

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, in order to avoid the monotony of formal workings within the system and to encourage constructive thinking and analysis of curatorial practices in the past and also the present.

 

Laboratorium is also focused 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 art, has formed a generation of young Slovene curators.
