Established in 1997, the P74 Centre and Gallery is an open platform for presentation, promotion and education of contemporary visual, new media and time-based arts founded by international recognized Slovene artist Tadej Pogačar. Since 1999 it operates under the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute.

The P74 Centre and Gallery is housed in the dislocated premises of the grammar school Gimnazija Šentvid on the periphery of Ljubljana. Since 2008 the P74's activity is complemented with another branch of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute – the Kapsula Project Space, located in the very centre of Ljubljana.


Mission and programme

The centre fosters knowledge, encourages the exchange of new ideas, and promote innovative and challenging models in contemporary art and culture, what is achieved with the P74 programme of solo and group exhibitions as well with other visual, new media and experimental music projects (Sound Explicit) of national and international character.

Artists' books

Since the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute began in 2003 with the public competition for artists' books for artists of all nationalities living and working in Slovenia and since it in 2005 started with the production of artists' books, the venue became the home of its growing Artist's Book Collection. In early summer 2009 the P74 was also the venue of the practical oriented workshop for artist books.

Exhibitions

Since the beginning the P74 Centre featured the projects of emerging Slovene artists featuring solo or group shows. Some of the artists that have started here are Sašo Vrabič and Žiga Kariž as well as Tanja Lažetić, Dejan Habicht, Miha Knific, Nika Zupančič, Tobias Putrih, Metka Zupanič, Lada Cerar, Vesna Bukovec, Jure Engelsberger, and Tomaž Tomažin. Each year one of the solo exhibitions is dedicated to the winner of the OHO Group Award.

In the recent years the P74 increased the cooperation with guest curators to include work of Slovene artists within international context. The international research and curatorial project The Renaming Machine curated by Suzana Milevska featured a symposium, exhibition in the Jakopič Gallery in 2008 and a book (published in 2010). The project dealt with the "construction and destabilization of the memory of national, cultural and personal identities in the former Yugoslavia and South-Eastern Europe over the past two decades."

In 2009 Miško Šuvaković prepared exhibition Clendestine Histories of the OHO Group focused on the notion of neoavantgarde excess in the context of the socialistic society. In the same year P74 celebrated the 15th anniversary of P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art with the exhibition This is not America.
