Literarno-umetniško društvo Šerpa (LUD Šerpa)

Stražarjeva 24, SI-1000 Ljubljana

Šerpa Literary Art Association (LUD Šerpa) is a young company established in 2003 which publishes neatly-designed low-budget or reasonably-priced publications, mostly in the field of literature. It presents work by Slovene authors, translations of historical avant-garde texts which have not hitherto been published in the Slovene language, and marginal texts by well-known authors. Recent publications featured the poetry of Ferdinando Pessoa, Pierre Reverdy, Gary Snyder, and Cesare Pavese. LUD Šerpa's catalogue also includes some visual arts publications, including Ode on Manhattan Avenue (2003), a project by writers Primož Čučnik and Gregor Podlogar in collaboration with visual artist Janez Janša.

In 2007 LUD Šerpa began organising a series of literary and experimental music events at Kodeljevo Castle, in collaboration with the Sploh Institute. Today, the series continues under the name Con-Fine Aperto at Metelkova's Klub Menza pri koritu. The events encourage the cooperation and collaboration of representatives from various creative backgrounds and fields (from classical to sub-cultural, musical and literary) and enable the fusion and surpassing of musical genres (jazz, modern compositions, improvisations, and electro-acoustic) and the mixing of literary types.
