Established in 2000, SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts (a successor to the Soros Centre for Contemporary Arts, 1993-1999) is a non-government and non-profit organisation dedicated to production, research, education, information and consultancy in the field of arts and culture.

Programme

SCCA intensively cooperates with numerous national and international organisations, mostly it works with NGOs. It produces, stimulates and mediates innovative artistic and interpretative practices, places them within a social framework, and encourages international links between systems of western and eastern countries. Further, SCCA provides participants and users of contemporary art (artists, curators, theorists, critics, audiences) with the knowledge, tools and skills necessary for optimal operation within the art system. Activities and collaborators come from a wide range of sectors and professions, ranging from humanity and social studies, visual anthropology and cultural studies to art history, sociology of culture, philosophy and visual and media arts. SCCA activities are divided into three areas: projects, school and services.

Projects

Besides complex projects as Platforma SCCA, Videodokument and [[Videospotting] and some further projects as Artservis Collection, Internet Portfolio, No Nails, No Pedestals and Studio 6, the SCCA is active as co-producer and partner of projects as the new biennial of contemporary arts from the Balkan region entitled D-O ARK Underground, which is starting in May 2011 in Konjic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and is accompanied with the special programme starting in September 2010. In this field the SCCA cooperated in July 2010 with Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab as the co-producer of the workshop of critical writing for intermedia arts entitled art[click]+ika that happened at KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association in Ljubljana. SCCA is also one of partners of international programme On-AiR, a European tool for artists offering seminars, mobility workshops and training programs on artist-in-residence opportunities between May 2010 and April 2012 to name just some of activites from the fieeld cooperations.

Since 1994 the SCCA is active as well as a producer of exhibitions and presentations. Beside presentations in the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts Project Room as it was in March organised exhibition of contemporary feminist art from Slovenia entitled Female Artist - the Art of Survival, the SCCA cooperaties in the field of exhibitions with plenty other Slovene and international galleries and art spaces. In winter 2009 it featured by Saša Glavan curated group exhibition Around the world of art in 4.380 days in the Alkatraz Gallery that was the complex overview of a twelve years history of World of Art: School for Contemporary Arts assembling selected art works and documentary material from video and audio archive of numerous events, exhibitions, workshops and lectures from this unique educational program in Slovenia. SCCA occasionally also prepares exhibitions in the Vžigalica Gallery or Škuc Gallery, internationally it exhibits and prepares projects for spaces as The Foundation & Gallery 3,14, Bergen (Norway), where it features in 2008 the video exhibition, presentation and lecture by Barbara Borčič entitled VS_BERGEN that showed works of three curated programs Videodokument_Presents, Eyedentify Yourself, and Creatures II.

SCCA is occasionally active as well in the field of researches preparing reflexions and anaylses focused on the themes that contribute considerably to the understanding of contemporary art practice and its context as it was the project Manifesta in Our Backyard (1999-2002) that was hosted in Ljubljana in 2000, where SCCA examinated the operation of the contemporary art system trying to avoid passive and uncritical acceptance of the event.
