Run by the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, the World of Art: School for Contemporary Arts is the annual and the sole programme in Slovenia and the broader region of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe offering the practical and theoretical education in the field of contemporary art. Since its introduction in 1997 it is based on a premise that future experts (critics and curators) need and should be taught the skills, methods and gain the knowledge of the critical and theoretical apparatus to self-confidently approach the complex matter of the world of art.


Programme

The annual programme comprises two semesters, first one is more theory oriented, second one is practical: based on the regular weekly meetings under the guidance of tutors is dedicated to the concept and realisation of an exhibition of contemporary art, which is accompanied with the catalogue including also texts of students. The thirteenth version (2010/2011 ) will feature the exhibition at the Alkatraz Gallery, one of partners of the school. The actual edition visit 11 students working with tutors Nevenka Šivavec and Jože Barši, further with Zemira Alajbegović Pečovnik, Branislav Dimitrijević, Neven Korda, Petja Grafenauer, and Suzana Milevska as workshop tutors and Jana Intihar Ferjan, Alenka Pirman, Branka Stipančić, Miško Šuvaković, and Rebeka Vidrih as lecturers.

Within lectures of the spring semester (April-June) the latest edition in 2010 offers also an overview of the 20th century artistic practices, trends, socio-political contexts and key shifts in the understanding, thematising, analysis and historical positioning of fine arts. Beside paying attention to the presentation of the structure of art system in Slovenia and its placement in the international context lectures, the World of the Art also opens topics of video as a tool and strategy of artistic expression. Beside visits of exhibitions and artists studios the school offers as well the workshop to improve and familiarises students with the history and theory of art criticism and curatorial concepts.


Partners

Beside the Alkatraz Gallery featuring the final exhibition of the school (partners of the past editions in this sense were as well the ŠKUC Gallery and Kapelica Gallery in Ljubljana, lectures were further presented in other locations such as the Nova Gorica Arts Centre and Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art) the World of Art cooperates in the latest edition as well with the Department of Art History at the Faculty of Arts, Croatian curator Sabina Salamon and Labin City Gallery (Croatia), and with the ECM, educating, curating and managing studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (Austria).
