KOLEKTIVA is an art group of 3 contemporary visual artists: Vesna Bukovec, Metka Zupanič and Lada Cerar who have been working together since 2003 and formally established a group in 2008. The group often works incomplete and all its members are active as individual artists as well. They understand the process of art making as a means of negotiation, exchange and cooperation.

Their projects are researching inter-personal relationships, everyday life and the art system.

The group performed at the 11th Biennial of the Young Artists of Europe and the Mediterranean in Athens in 2003. The next year they started to work on Special Place in the City, a platform for artistic research concerning people, stories and places. The project aims to mark, preserve and render visible a collection of personal stories and histories for the future generations. It was in presented various ways and exhibited on KOLEKTIVA's solo exhibitions in Škuc Gallery, Maribor Art Gallery, Galerie Centrum (Graz, Austria), MedienKunstLabor (Graz, Austria) etc. Secret Heart, exhibited in Program Gallery (Warsaw, Poland) is also part of the Special Place in the City platform. Their work includes video Visions (2006) and their recent project Lost in communication which was exhibited in A+A Gallery in Venice in 2011.

Kolektiva Institut programme

Kolektiva collaborated with Photon Gallery when it produced Video in progress 2: City Perspectives and Video in progress 3: Fields of the Performative which was curated by KOLEKTIVA. In 2011 Kolektiva Institute and Photon Gallery produced fourth edition of Video in Progress which has grown into a festival. It was entitled Feelings of Distress and curated by Metka Zupanič, Vesna Bukovec, Silke Schmickl (DE/FR), Masayo Kajimura (JP/DE) and Stéphane Gérard (FR). The festival included solo exhibitions of Joshua & Zachary Sandler (US) and Aldo Giannotti (IT/AT) in Photon Gallery, a group exhibition of young Slovenian artists Pain with the Thousand Teeth in Vžigalica Gallery and cinema screening of Pain (a selection of videos from Human Frames program) in Kinodvor Cinema.

Kolektiva Institute is also organizing Video Evenings in Photon Gallery in Ljubljana. Video Evening is a monthly event with screening video selections prepared by various invited artists, curators, institutions, associations and festivals. The first video evening was organized in December 2010 when due to previous correspondence between ADA Rotterdam (NL) and KOLEKTIVA, ADA Rotterdam presented a collection of videos Press Play_Taking on Performance that was made in response to KOLEKTIVA’s selection of art videos entitled Fields of the Performative. So far video evenings included selections of videos from the archive of international Simultan Festival from Timisoara, Romania, a selection of videos from the online moving image gallery Outcasting from Cardiff, United Kingdom, videos by Austrian artist Nina Höchtl and many others.

Exhibitions

In 2010 Kolektiva Institute presented two exhibitions in the Photon Gallery: In May there was RED: The Gendered Color in Frames, curated by Evelin Stermitz who wanted to show different aspects of female connotations and narrations of the color red. For example a woman in a red dress is foregrounded in the work Flux by Kika Nicolela and blood in Ana Grobler's video Superultra. The exhibition also included work of Duba Sambolec, Michelle Handelman and others.

Later that year there was Bosnia & Herzegovina Video Art: namaTRE.ba Project. The video exhibition was curated by Igor Bošnjak and included a third selection of videos of namaTRE.ba project, an independent platform for contemporary art. Among others there was Borjana Mrdja's Almost Perfect Work and Mladen Bundalo's Simulation of Dualism.
