Forma Viva Open Air Steel Sculpture Collection, Ravne na Koroškem is one of several in Slovenia which arose out of the International Symposia of Sculptors called Forma Viva, an initiative of sculptors Jakob Savinšek and Janez Lenassi. Inspired by the tradition of iron foundries of Koroška region, the Forma Viva in Ravne used for the material of sculptures steel.


Between 1964 and 1989 seven Forma Viva sculptural symposiums were held in Ravne. Thirty sculptors from 15 countries all over the world created 28 today preserved monumental steel sculptures and their works adorn the urban spaces of the town and surrounding villages as Prevalje, Mežica, Črna and others. The collection is administered and promoted by the Koroška Museum, Ravne na Koroškem. In 1999 the catalogue Forma viva 1964 – 1989, Ravne na Koroškem was published. Between 2005 and 2009 thirteen sculptures were renovated including works of Zvonimir Kamenar (roundabout in Ravne), Roberto Steel (Kotlje-Rimski Vrelec), John Hoskin (Ravne), Katsuyi Kishida (Javornik), Yuki Oyanagi (Ravne), Koji Ishikawa (Janeče).

Background

Modelled after a symposium held in St Margharethen (Austria, 1959), the first two symposia were organised in Kostanjevica na Krki (wood) and in Seča near Portorož (stone) in 1961. Later, two other venues were included: Ravne na Koroškem (1964, steel) and Maribor (1967, reinforced concrete). In the course of the four decades this international project of 'live' sculpture in the open-air has involved sculptors from all over the world who have enriched the cultural treasures of Slovenia with around 300 sculptures.
