Between 1964 and 1989, 7 Forma Viva sculptural symposiums were held in Ravne. Thirty sculptors from 15 countries all over the world created monumental steel sculptures, 28 of which are still preserved today and adorn the urban spaces of the town of Ravne and surrounding villages such as Prevalje, Mežica, Črna, and others. The collection is administered and promoted by the Koroška Regional Museum, Ravne na Koroškem Unit. In 1999 the catalogue Forma viva 1964–1989, Ravne na Koroškem was published. Between 2005 and 2009 thirteen sculptures were renovated including the works of Zvonimir Kamenar (roundabout in Ravne), Roberto Steel (Kotlje-Rimski Vrelec), John Hoskin (Ravne), Katsuyi Kishida (Javornik), Yuki Oyanagi (Ravne), Koji Ishikawa (Janeče).
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.
