Frequencytriennial

The first International Ceramics Triennial Unicum kicked off in 2009 with the central exhibition in the National Museum of Slovenia. Established within the Union of Slovene Fine Arts Associations (ZDSLU) the triennial is dedicated to contemporary ceramic arts and strives to popularise this medium among the Slovene and international audience. Its core event is the exhibition of the works selected on the basis of an international competition. The call is released a year prior to the triennial. The programme also includes an exhibition of selected works by the students of art schools and academies and accompanying curated events on various locations throughout Slovenia. The main exhibition in 2012 will take place in the Betnava Mansion on the outskirts of Maribor.

From 133 received works 76 were selected for the 2009 exhibition by an international jury: Nadja Zgonik, professor of art history and theory in the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana; Darko Golija, academic sculptor and professor for sculpture on Faculty of Education in Maribor; Velimir Vukičević, academic painter, master of ceramics, member of the International Academy of Ceramics AIC, and professor in Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade; Waltraut Geschiel, member of the International Organization for Contemporary Ceramics ICCA with headquarters in Vienna and the director of International Biennial of Ceramics in Kapfenberg; and Emidio Galassi, academic sculptor and ceramist who taught at the Art Institute for Ceramics in Faenza.
