Studio 6
Artistic actions, exhibitions, performances, discussions between diverse protagonists of the contemporary art world

Studio 6 (from 2004) is mostly focused on encouraging discussions and establishing constructive collaboration between diverse protagonists of the contemporary art world (artists, curators, critics, theorists), offers space for presentation of artistic actions and ensures their reflection.

Head of the program: Saša Nabergoj
Coordination: Sonja Zavrtanik

Participating curators in 2010: Jurij Krpan, Andrej Medved, Nevenka Šivavec

For the focus in 2010 Studio 6 chose a long-term collaboration between artist and curator. We are interested in the relations between involved parts, which are based on continuous monitoring of artistic practice and as such establish a basic platform of curatorial activity, based on a long-term exchanges (information, opinions, skills ...) between both the parts - the artist and curator.

Head of the program invited curators that in their own modus operandi include in-depth, sustained and continuous monitoring of the development of each artist's opus. These are individuals on the Slovenian field, who understand their actions in a dialogue with artists who are taking time for monitoring, reflection and discussion. For each participant practice is significant that they produce in regular intervals exhibition projects about artist that they follow. The results of this (mostly) intimate process are revealed to the public once a year with the exhibition.

Studio 6 is supported by Municipality of Ljubljana - Department for Culture.

Project Room plan (pdf)

Until 2007, the concept of the program Studio 6 has experienced its experimental phase. It was implemented in the mutual frame of contents and organizational scheme together with another SCCA program entitled No Nails, No Pedestals, which is presenting authors, working in the field of contemporary artistic practices (installations, performances, video, interdisciplinary & web projects).
