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 fast five decades (in 2011 the 50th anniversary is in sight) this international project of "live" sculpture in the open-air has involved around 150 sculptors from all over the world who have enriched the cultural treasures of Slovenia with around 300 sculptures. In the Portorož gallery in the open air and in the coastal towns over 165 stone sculptures have been installed.
On the Forma Viva in October 2009 participating artists included Zhao Li from China; New York-based Macedonian Gorazd Poposki; Peter Roller from Bratislava, who also worked here 22 years ago; and young Dutch artist Chris Peterson.
