Programme
SCCA-Ljubljana produces, stimulates and mediates innovative artistic and interpretative practices, places them within a social framework, encourages international links, and facilitates the professional dialogue between the different art systems in eastern and western countries. It intensively cooperates with numerous national and international organisations, mostly NGOs.
Further, SCCA-Ljubljana provides the protagonists of contemporary art (artists, curators, theorists, critics) with the knowledge, tools and skills necessary for professional operation within the art system as well as for its reflection. Activities and collaborators come from a wide range of sectors and professions, ranging from humanities and social studies, visual anthropology and cultural studies to art history, sociology of culture, philosophy and visual and new media arts. SCCA-Ljubljana's activities are divided into three areas: projects, school and services.
Projects
SCCA-Ljubljana is currently active as co-producer and partner of the new biennial of contemporary arts in the Balkan region entitled D-O ARK Underground, which is starting in May 2011 in Konjic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and is accompanied by a special programme starting in September 2010.
Recently SCCA-Ljubljana has also cooperated with Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab as the co-producer of the workshop of critical writing for new media arts entitled art[click]+ika and is 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 featured occasionally between May 2010 and April 2012.
Since 1994 SCCA-Ljubljana has also been producing exhibitions and presentations. They are usually organised in the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts Project Room within the No Nails, No Pedestals and Studio 6 programmes. Such was the recent exhibition of contemporary feminist art from Slovenia entitled Female Artist - the Art of Survival.
Beside that SCCA-Ljubljana cooperates with plenty other Slovene and international galleries and art spaces. In winter 2009 the Alkatraz Gallery featured a group exhibition Around the world of art in 4.380 days curated by Saša Nabergoj, a complex overview of the twelve-year-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 programme in Slovenia (see more below).
SCCA-Ljubljana 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 in 2008 it featured the video exhibition, presentation and lecture by Barbara Borčić entitled VS_BERGEN that showed works of three curated programmes Videodokument_Presents, Eyedentify Yourself, and Creatures II. These programmes derive from the Videospotting surveys (since 1994) and are rooted in the acclaimed pioneer documentation project Videodokument: Video art in Slovenia 1969–1998 (a catalogue with documentation, a book of essays, a CD-ROM and a website).
SCCA-Ljubljana is occasionally active also in the research field. It engages in reflections and analyses of the themes that contribute considerably to the understanding of contemporary art practice and its context. Such was the Manifesta in Our Backyard project (1999–2002) evolving around the Manifesta, the European Biennial for Contemporary Art hosted in Ljubljana in 2000. SCCA-Ljubljana examined the operation of the contemporary art system trying to avoid passive and uncritical acceptance of the event. A special issue of its (now defunct) Platforma SCCA magazine was published on the subject.
School
SCCA-Ljubljana's school activities comprise the annual World of Art: School for Contemporary Arts, the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts Library with a Videotheque and occasional workshops with Slovene and international mentors, tutors and lecturers like Mike Hentz, Miško Šuvaković, Ivana Keser (since 2000). The World of Art: School for Contemporary Arts is unique in Slovenia and pioneering in the broader region of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. Deriving from the curatorial expertise it offers practical skills and theoretical education in the field of contemporary arts.
Videotheque is a study video and audio archive (analogue and digital) of contemporary arts with a focus on video art of mainly Slovene artists. Since 1994 SCCA-Ljubljana systematically collects, documents, researches, reflects upon and presents the video production in Slovenia (see Videodokument).
Services
SCCA-Ljubljana offers information and manages services in respect to various competitions for artists and cultural organisations (e.g., ArtsLink Awards). All of its service activities complement each other, representing a comprehensive information and advisory support system for arts and culture. The main characteristic of all its programmes is open and free access for all users operating in Slovenia and worldwide.
Beside its own online services Artservis.org and Evrokultura, SCCA-Ljubljana also manages the Cultural Contact Point Slovenia, offering information and administering applications for EU funding schemes such as the Culture Programme. Since 2008 it runs also the Cultural Point ALF for Slovenia (Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation (ALF)).
International memberships
SCCA-Ljubljana is a member of the Culture Action Europe, Brussels (CAE), Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation (ALF), International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art, Luksemburg (IKT), the International Contemporary Art Network (ICAN), the European Forum for the Arts and Heritage (EFAH), the (International Encounters on Arts and Media Network (RAMI) as well as the Asociacija, Association of Arts and Culture NGOs and Freelancers of Ljubljana.
It has been engaged also in the Gateway to Archives of Media Art (GAMA) project, which provides access to a wealth of information about the works of both well-known and emerging media artists from European collections of media art.
