[[KiBela Art Space]] is one of several sections of Ace Kibla. Since its establishment in [[Established::1996]] Aleksandra Kostič, its main curator of the show room and nowadays the president of Ace Kibla, together with colleagues Peter Tomaž Dobrila, curator Maja Vuksanović and others creating very defined programme of Slovene and international art or "transnational" art, as they do not like to classify art by nationalities. The programme-oriented gallery goes beyond traditional exhibiting boundaries, it connects various visual media ventures with audio communications, telecommunications, interactive technology, even with contemporary dance and theatre – what is extraordinary for Slovene dimensions and is bringing KiBela to its international success. 
 
 
The famous Australian artist Stelarc has said about Kibla "this is the best cyber space in the world", artist Eduardo Kac, who works at the Art Institute of Chicago, "something like this doesn't exist in United States" and Joseph Tabby, university professor and writer, "I came to visit Slovenia, because I'd heard about KIBLA."

==History==
 
KiBela Art Space has been developed within [[KIBLA Multimedia Centre]] together with KiBar, an Internet café, Kibela.Tif graphic studio, and [[Za:misel Bookstore]]. In the second half of the 1990s plans for KiBela began to take form with the help of experience and common knowledge – in a time when the emergence of new technologies and artistic approaches had already become self-evident and necessary when planning a contemporary gallery.

{{Teaser|
KiBela is on the ground floor of Narodni dom in Maribor and was renovated in January 1999 with the purpose of installing visual and other forms of art. Often KiBela is cooperating with other spaces and institutions, sometimes is preparing site-specific outdoors projects.

==Concept==
+
KiBela Art Space has an exclusive approach to installing art in the space: various art aesthetics in space being such by content or by media that artists use in a creative way. KiBela archive includes  social art openings, performances, presentations and other art events, that are installed in a classical way or as high technological settings and architecturaly challenging projects.
The fundamental concept of KiBela Art Space is that of liberating and connecting traditional and electronic art media, presenting artistic (non)messages and artist+ (ir)responsibility, integrating art with science and technology and establishing new aesthetics and an ecology of the mind. The concept is contemporary, multimedia and intermedia related.  
 
  
KiBela has worked towards establishing links between alternative and established art and culture, between young and older generations, between the domestic and foreign art scene, between classical and electronic media, between art, technology and science and between different aesthetics and thinking.
 
  
==Programme alias Exhibitions and Events==
+
In KiBela, space for art, hundreds of exhibitions, performances, presentations and other artistic events have taken place since 1999, in both traditional, as well as advanced technological set-ups.
In more than 10 years of operation KiBela has released more then 200 social art openings, performances, presentations and other art events with the exclusive approach of installing art in the space: various art aesthetics in space being such by content or by media that artists use in a creative way. Since 2004 all of KiBela's events – more than 100 – are superbly visually and textually documented on KiBela's online archive.

==International cooperation==
Through KiBela distribution channels many of Slovene artists have been presented over the years in different art spaces around the world. Thus KiBela as an art space is known as a partner of many international projects of similar organisations from Graz, London, Zagreb, Belgrade and the United States, having the aim of presenting new approaches through intermedia as well as classic fine arts.
+
As Kibla is extensively involved in international cooperation projects, KiBela Art Space also participates internationally by providing an exhibition space for presentations – and has been attending international art fairs.  
 
 
One of the recent projects '''X-OP - eXchange of art operators and producers'''. It goes about gradually growing network of artists, researchers, operators, producers and centres with the aim to establish a European platform for creation of art and exchange. By long-term cooperation the partner centres are establishing and further developing infrastructural and information supportive environment in relation to information technology, digital culture and art creation in wide aspect from art production and presentation to research and education. Alongside Kibla and KiBela are in the partners consortium Museum Lapidarium (Novigrad, Croatia), Media in Motion (Berlin, Germany), Egon March Institute (Ljubljana, Slovenia, MoKS – Kunsti ja Sotsiaalpraktika Keskus, Center for Art and Social Practice (Mooste, Estonia), CIANT – International Centre for Art and New Technologies (Prague, Czech Republic), Politechnic of Tomar (Tomar, Portugal), MAA – Taidekoulu, Art School (Helsinki, Finland), Apartment Project (Istanbul, Turkey) and Rahmenwerk – Transforming Freedom (Vienna, Austria).
 
 
 
In 2009 they held sessions in Berlin, Novigrad and in the Philippines on the Asia-Europe New Media Art Symposium. As it goes about the project from Ace Kibla, the role of the KiBela Art Space is to give its exhibiting place for presentations – like the improvisational audio-video performance between Tengal (Manila), Marko Batista (Ljubljana), and Ana Pečar (Maribor), what happened in November 2009.

KiBela Art Space has an exclusive approach to installing art in the space: various art aesthetics in space being such by content or by media that artists use in a creative way. KiBela archive includes social art openings, performances, presentations and other art events, that are installed in a classical way or as high technological settings and architecturaly challenging projects.


In KiBela, space for art, hundreds of exhibitions, performances, presentations and other artistic events have taken place since 1999, in both traditional, as well as advanced technological set-ups.

Otherwise the KiBela programme has been running since the year 1996 when Multimedia Center Kibla has been established. In the second half of the 90's plans for KiBela have begun to take form with the help of experience and common knowledge-in a time when emergence of new technologies and art approaches has already become self-evident and necessary when planning a contemporary gallery.
