The Modern Art Archive of the Moderna galerija (Museum of Modern Art) Ljubljana was established in 1971 by the curators Ljerka Menaše and Eva Gspan with the objective of systematically collecting and organising data on exhibitions in Slovenia as well as exhibitions of Slovene artists abroad. By systematically collecting, evaluating, and updating its database, the department has thoroughly documented the development of the contemporary Slovene fine arts sector (in the broadest sense as revealed through its authors as well as writers, curators, venues, and owners). A portion of the database, including biographies and bibliography references of some artists, is available on the Internet. The Modern Art Archive is also a part of the platform European Art Net (EAN).

Services

Since 1989 invitations, catalogues, posters, press clippings and other materials related to exhibitions of Slovene artists have been digitised using the special Razstava (“Exhibition”) software programme. The department has also built an archive and press clipping service of articles containing biographical and bibliographical and also other data on Slovene 20th- and 21st-century artists. Since 1993 this data has been accessible via the Umetnik (“Artist”) computer programme. Both of these databases may be browsed in-person at the department.

A selection of the two databases is available online through the Raz_Ume database. It currently contains over 13,500 artists, more than 8,300 exhibitions and 170 photographs. (Interestingly, Raz_Ume is a play on words using Raz from Razstava, "exhibition" and Ume from Umetnik, "artist" to create the Slovenian expression "He/She understands".)

International co-operation

From 2000 to 2003 the department co-operated with similar European institutions as a partner in the framework of the project VEKTOR – European Contemporary Art Archives, which received funding from the Culture 2000 programme of the European Commission. The VEKTOR project has since developed into the European Art Net, initiated by basis wien – Kunst, Information und Archiv in Vienna and the art magazine Kunst-Bulletin in Zurich, which offers a comprehensive search engine of various archival databases from European institutions of art.

Other resources

Collecting and organizing the documentation photography is the domain of the autonomous department Moderna galerija Ljubljana Photo Archive. Another autonomous department of the Moderna galerija (Museum of Modern Art) helpful for researchers to obtain further resources is the Moderna galerija Ljubljana Library.
