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 to be involved in the commercial systems of arts with the attendances of the international art fairs.

Programme

Within its international work the programme of P74 Centre and Gallery was in the beginning of the 1990s intensively deducted also to the projects of Slovene artists featuring solo or group shows. Just in 2005 were exibited projects of Tanja Lažetić in 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 2008 the Centre programme turned to be more international following the strategy of including Slovene artists in wider contexts of the group exhibitions like within the project The Renaming Machine (2008), hosted in the Jakopič Gallery and curated by Suzana Milevska. Presented were works of EDNOOKI, Albert Heta, IRWIN, Hristina Ivanoska, Sanja Iveković, Tanja Lažetić/Dejan Habicht, MONUMENT, Oliver Musoviќ, Dan Perjovschi, Tadej Pogačar & P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art, Sašo Stanojkoviќ, Žaneta Vangeli. Three Slovene artists were also 2008 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 artist as Soren Assenholt, Jacob Borges, Asli Çavuşoglu, Lasse Schmidt Hansen, Gudrun Hasle, Cecilia De Jong, Tanja Lažetić, Polonca Lovšin, Olof Olsson, Christodoulos Panayiotou, Tomaž Tomažin and Pernille Kapper Williams.

By guest curator Miško Šuvaković prepared exhibition Hidden Histories of the OHO Group gave 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 of Charles Esche.

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