An initiative of Jakob Savinšek and Janez Lenassi, the Forma Viva Open Air Wood Sculpture Collection, Kostanjevica na Krki is one of four International Symposia of Sculptors in Slovenia that, together with the Forma Viva Open Air Stone Sculpture Collection, Seča (near Portorož), started the tradition of Forma Viva workshops in Slovenia in 1961. Both sculptors modelled the workshops after a symposium held in St Margharethen (Austria, 1959). Later, two other venues were included: Ravne na Koroškem (1964, steel) and Maribor (1967, reinforced concrete).


In the course of the 4 decades since the beginning of this international project of "live" sculpture in the open-air, Forma Viva has involved sculptors from all over the world who have enriched the cultural treasures of Slovenia with around 300 sculptures – more than 100 just in Kostanjevica – where all are exhibited in natural surroundings, in the gardens of the former monastery, and in the very city and nearby areas.

Development

In its early years the Forma Viva in Kostanjevica, which focused on wood sculpture, took place annually. Between 1965 and 1988 it was organised every second year. At the end of the 1980s Forma Viva had ceased nearly everywhere, with the exception of Seča. After a decade-long break the Forma Viva in Kostanjevica was revitalised in 1998.

Since then it is a biennial event that invites 3 sculptors each year. Applications are accepted from artists throughout the world. The deadline for applying is usually at the end of the non-biennial year. In 2010 the artists created in July.

Artists

In the most recent editions, the following artists participated: Boštjan Drinovec (SI), Sreten Milatović (RS), and Niculae Seaptefrati (RO) in 2004; Magdalena Miočinović Andrić (RS), Urša Toman Drinovec (SI) and Agnessa Ivanova Petrova (Bulgaria) in 2006; Polona Demšar (SI), Klaus Grosskopf (DE) and Samo Škoberne (SI/DE) in 2008. The entire list of participants is accessible on the website of the Božidar Jakac Gallery, Kostanjevica na Krki, the organiser of the event.
