Founded from the ashes of Hard Core Kolektiv (HCK) in 1989, Strip Core primarily functions as the comic arts production arm of Forum Ljubljana. It creates Slovenia's only comic art magazine, publishes comic books and frequently presents Slovene comic art at numerous international events and exhibitions, from the Salao Lisboa Biennial to the prestigious Frankfurt Book Fair. Alongside its publishing activities, Strip Core organises workshops, lectures, exhibitions, multimedia projects, and, since 2008, the Lighting Guerrilla Festival.

Uniting various fields of art – visual art, video, music and live performances – since its inception, Strip Core regularely collaborates with other protagonists in the cultural field, among them the Animateka Festival, Rdeči revirji!, ZARŠ Records and galleries and venues all around Slovenia.


Background

The circle of hard core aficionados, gathered around FV Music and ŠKUC Forum, established the Hard Core Kolektiv in 1986. Besides organising and promoting music gigs, they've also been delving into visual arts, at that time especially graffiti, poster design and video. After a few years, these activities got separated and the booking and promotion part was mostly taken over by HC BUBA.

The newly founded Strip Core still handled some musical production and multimedia events, mainly for 2227, a hardcore band that got disbanded in 1999. Besides taking care of the bands's extensive touring, the Strip Core collective also occupied itself with organising various graffiti exhibitions, but this gradually drifted out of its focus with the second half of the 1990s. Parallel to that, the comic arts magazine/project Stripburger (founded in 1992) became more and more important, and the first international exhibitions of its works were undertaken already in 1994.

Stripburger

With around 70 editions under its belt, Stripburger is still the only Slovene magazine covering news about comics, theories on comics, and works by Slovene and (often very prominent) foreign authors. Being an important resource for comic fans and artists in the region, it publishes comics in Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian and English, with some issues in English only.

Currently, circa two editions of the magazine get to be published annually. They are complemented by the so-called Editions series, which feature new pieces by Slovene authors (the Republika Strip series), translations of comic classics (the Ambadsada Strip series, presenting translation of comics by foreign artists like Kim Deich in Simon Deitch, Gunnar Lundkvist and Max Andersson), comic works for the younger generations (the Minimundus series) and various other projects that merge with poetry, music and the like (O Editions). Most of these works are in Slovene, though some Minimudus pieces also come as bilingual.

Exhibitions and international appearances

Strip Core has been presenting Slovenian comic works at festivals and galleries abroad since its beginnings. In just the last few years, Strip Core has been present by way of stand-alone exhibitions, festival appearances, workshops, screenings and lectures at Maison de la Culture de le Tournai (BE), L’An Vert, Liege (BE), the Helsinki Comics Festival (FI), Galerija SC (HR), Nextcomics Festival (AT), KomiksFEST! (CZ), Treviso Comic Book Festivalu (IT), Le Garage L. (FR), The Millionaires Club (TMC) (DE), Galerie 1er degre (DE), Festival Anim’est (RO), International Alternative Press Festival (UK), Berliner Comics Festival (DE), etc.

International projects

The publication Greetings from Cartoonia! (2009) presented 6 Slovene cartoonists alongside authors from Italy, Finland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, and Romania. It has evolved into an exhibition that toured from Ljubljana to Bologna, Helsinki, Sardinia, London, Prague, Linz, Liege, and Bucharest. In 2011, the web portal from Netherlands (called Stripster) issued a piece titled Slovenia Special, putting in focus a selection of 9 comic art authors, chosen in collaboration with Strip Core.

A very important Strip Core activity is the Viva i Fumetti! / Živel strip! (Long live comics!) project, which has been running since 2001 in collaboration with the Vivacomix association. It is an annual public call and competition for comics (and, as of recently, animated features) created by primary and high-schoolers from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia.
