GVR - institute for contemporary arts is an institute for contemporary multimedia, visual, and performing art established in 1992 by Vlado Repnik. A vehicle for the work of the theatre director and multimedia artist Vlado Repnik, the institute recently increasingly focuses on the production of internet and intermedia projects. GVR's most recent production is the performance Evergreen - Comments on Media [Evergreen - komentarji o medijih] (2009), co-produced by the frequent collaborating institute Intima Virtual Base, Bunker Institute, and Eẋ Ponto International Festival, which aimed to reflect on the paradoxical layers of our perception and different understandings of media translations.

Background

Together with the theatre director Bojan Jablanovec and the architect Aljoša Kolenc, Vlado Repnik set the ground for his later theatre research oriented projects in the project THEATRE (GLEDALIŠČE), which in 1988 produced the performance Helios, based on Bertolt Brecht's Galileo Galilei, with the students of the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT). Repnik's subsequent theatre production is marked by continual conceptual shifts, while the projects move along the edges of the visual arts and theatre. In 1990, Repnik created the acclaimed performance Brigades of Beauty [Brigade lepote], which was presented also at the Evrokaz Festival, and Gertrude Stein (1994), shown at the Pula Festival, Croatia, at the Prague Quadriennal in 1995, and directed the performance I tempi passati (1999) at the Mladinsko Theatre, etc.

 ==Background==
-Together with the theatre director Bojan Jablanovec and the architect Aljoša Kolenc, Vlado Repnik set the ground for his later theatre research oriented projects in the project ''THEATRE'' (GLEDALIŠČE), which in 1988 produced the performance ''Helios'', based on Bertolt Brecht's ''Galileo Galilei'', with the students of the [[Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT)]]. Repnik's subsequent theatre production is marked by continual conceptual shifts, while the projects move along the edges of the visual arts and theatre. In 1990, Repnik created the acclaimed performance ''Brigades of Beauty'' [Brigade lepote], which premièred at [[Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre]] and featured the acclaimed Slovene painter Jože Tisnikar, who performed an autopsy within the performance, thus functioning as the token for the 'intrusion of the real', which later prompted Repnik to call his theatre GVR (Gledališče vdor realnega; in English Theatre the Intrusion of the Real), and ''Gertrude Stein'' (1994), shown at the Pula Festival, Croatia, and at the Prague Quadrennial, as well as directed the performance ''I tempi passati'' (1999) at the [[Mladinsko Theatre]], etc.
