Established in 1997, P74 Centre and Gallery is an open platform for the presentation, promotion and education of contemporary visual, intermedia and time-based arts founded by artist Tadej Pogačar. Since 1999 operates under the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art (PMCA).

Mission

Mission of the P74 Center and Gallery is to foster knowlege, encourage the exchange of new ideas, and promote innovative and challenging models in current art and culture, what resulted solo and group exhibitions and projects of national and international visual, intermendia and experimental music artists. It supports also nonprofit programmes and collaboration between artists, art centers, and galleries both locally and international. Since 2005 the gallery began to produce and exhibit artist books (an open call for proposals for the realization of artist books is announced each year). Each year, in co-operation with Foundation for a Civil Society, New York, a young Slovene visual artist under the age of 35 is presented with the OHO Group Award.

Venue

The P74 Center and Gallery is since the beginning housed in the branch of the Gymnasium Šentvid on the perifery of Ljubljana. Since 2008 is its activity combined with another branch of the PMCA Kapsula Gallery, located in the very centre of Ljubljana (Podhod Ajdovščina) which was opened after the gallery P74 start attendaning international art fairs and so become involved in the commercial systems of arts.

Programme

The Centre prepared last two years approximately 5 projects, what is the half less than years before, but the part of its activities were brought to its satelite in the centre of Ljubljana. Within its international work the programme on the venue of P74 Centre was in the beginning of the 1990s intensively deducted also to the projects of (young) Slovene artists featuring solo or group shows. Just in 2005 there were exibited 14 artists having solo or being included in the group projects: Tanja Lažetić and Dejan Habicht, Marija Mojca Pungerčar, Emil Hrvatin and Peter Šenk, Maja Ratajc, Miha Knific, Nika Zupančič, Tobias Putrih, Metka Zupančič, Lada Cerar, Vesna Bukovec, Jana Fak, Jure Engelsberger, Blaž Križnik, and Tomaž Tomažin.

Since last years the increase of already used strategy of inviting (international) curators preparing group shows including Slovene artists is to notice. One of such recent projects was The Renaming Machine, hosted in the Jakopič Gallery and curated by Suzana Milevska in 2008. Works of IRWIN, Tanja Lažetić/Dejan Habicht, and Tadej Pogačar & P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art amalgamated with art of i.e. Sanja Iveković, MONUMENT, Oliver Musoviќ, Dan Perjovschi, and Žaneta Vangeli to re-define the residues after the renaming overwrites the old references on the historic »mystic pad«. On the end of 20009 Milevska organized also the first solo show of filmmaker and author Hyto Steyerl. Further, three Slovene artists were in the same year integrated into the project Obviously, it's not obvious / GIFT, curated by Lotte Juul Petersen, currently the curator at Wysing Arts Centre (Cambridge, UK). In the artist book she pointed out mostly Danish and Slovene artist as Soren Assenholt, Jacob Borges, Polonca Lovšin, Olof Olsson, Tomaž Tomažin and Pernille Kapper Williams.

By the guest curator Miško Šuvaković prepared exhibition Hidden Histories of the OHO Group gave in 2009 the new light to the problem of the character of neo-avant-garde excess and the experimental work of the famous Slovene OHO Group. In the same year P74 celebrated the 15th anniversary of P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art with the show This is not America supplemented by the discussion entitled About the Museum with the guest Charles Esche.

Since last years pays the Centre huge attention on the artists books. Presentations and acquisition runs as well (mainly) in the Kapsula Gallery, the satellite of P74.
