Tretji simpozij o razstavljanju likovne umetnosti, arhitekture in oblikovanja ter o razstavnih institucijah na Slovenskem: 11. in 12. april 2024, Mestni muzej, Ljubljana S tretjo edicijo simpozija Razstavljanje na Slovenskem nadaljujemo poglobljen razmislek o razstavljanju umetnosti, arhitekture in oblikovanja pri nas. Dober odziv in pestrost z razstavljanjem povezanih vsebin na prvem in drugem znanstvenem srečanju v letih 2019 in 2022 sta pokazala, da strokovno in tudi širšo javnost zanima razmislek tako o samem področju kot o nanj nanašajočih se temah. Veseli nas, da v premišljevanju mednarodno vpetega slovenskega razstavljanja sodelujejo tudi številni raziskovalci in raziskovalke iz tujine in s tem prispevajo dragocen zunanji pogled na našo razstavno dejavnost. Izbrane razstave, institucije in druge fenomene s področja razstavljanja tudi tokrat obravnavamo in presojamo v kronološkem loku ter z najrazličnejših vidikov. Simpozij pričenjamo v času Avstro-Ogrske in se preko fenomena jugoslovanskih razstav, organiziranih še pred letom 1918, pomikamo proti razstavljanju in mednarodnim izmenjavam med obema vojnama. Nekaj predavateljev se posveča razstavljanju umetniških del v neumetnostnih muzejih in kontekstih. Z njimi se časovno premaknemo v obdobje po drugi svetovni vojni in s tem k analizi programskih in političnih usmeritev različnih umetnostnih institucij kot tudi njihovi vlogi pri usmerjanju in določanju likovnega področja na Slovenskem. Vsebine se, tako kot na prvih dveh simpozijih, zgostijo v raziskovanju razvoja pospešene institucionalizacije umetnosti, arhitekture in oblikovanja po drugi svetovni vojni. Z različnih zornih kotov obravnavajo delovanje nekaterih ključnih akterjev na polju umetnosti v takratnem jugoslovanskem kontekstu, med drugim tudi Zorana Kržišnika kot pomembnega promotorja slovenske in jugoslovanske povojne umetnosti. Zaključujemo z analizami izbranih razstav zadnjih desetletij, njihovih značilnih kuratorskih praks in novih razstavnih formatov. S simpoziji si prizadevamo za globlje razumevanje tako samega medija razstave kot notranje logike in principov delovanja slovenskega umetnostnega sistema. Pri tem se sprašujemo, kako in zakaj se določeno razstavljanje pojavlja in uveljavlja, v kakšnem razmerju je do razstavljenih objektov in umetnosti nasploh ter kako se prepleta s političnimi in drugimi neumetnostnimi diskurzi in hotenji.

The excellent response and diversity of topics related to exhibition practices presented at the first and second symposia in 2019 and 2022 attested to the interest of both the professional and lay public in this subject and the issues surrounding it. We are particularly pleased to be again joined in our reflections by insightful researchers from abroad, who bring valuable external perspectives on Slovenian exhibition activity. At this year’s symposium, selected exhibitions, institutions and other phenomena related to exhibiting art are again discussed chronologically and from various perspectives. We begin in the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and progress through the phenomenon of Yugoslav exhibitions, which were organised even before 1918, towards exhibitions and international exchanges between the two world wars. Some papers focus on exhibiting artworks in non-art museums and contexts. With them, we move chronologically into the post-World War II period and on to analysing the programmatic and political orientations of various art institutions, as well as their role in guiding and shaping the sphere of visual arts in Slovenia. As in the first two symposia, the topics converge in research on the accelerated institutionalisation of art, architecture and design after the World War II, discussing the work of certain key actors in the field of art within the Yugoslav context, among others the role of Zoran Kržišnik, an important promoter of Slovenian and Yugoslav post-war art. We conclude with analyses of selected exhibitions, significant curatorial practices of recent decades and new exhibition formats. With Exhibiting in Slovenia symposium series we aim to better understand both the medium of the exhibition and the internal logic and workings of the Slovenian art system. We discuss how and why a certain exhibition practice occurs and becomes established, its relationship with the exhibited objects and art in general, and its interaction with political and other non-art discourses and agendas. The symposium was financially supported by Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) and the ERSTE Foundation.
Drugi simpozij o razstavljanju likovne umetnosti, arhitekture in oblikovanja ter o razstavnih institucijah na Slovenskem: 21. in 22. april 2022, Mestni muzej, Ljubljana Na simpoziju smo obravnavali izbrane razstave, umetnostne institucije in druge fenomene s področja razstavljanja v kronološkem loku ter z najrazličnejših vidikov. Zanimali so nas razstavni fenomeni 19. stoletja, kot so prve stalne razstave Deželnega muzeja za Kranjsko ter dejavnosti umetnostnih društev, ki so od sredine 19. stoletja prva pri nas skrbela za rednejše razstavljanje sodobne umetnosti. Posvetili smo se izbranim primerom razstav in tudi oblikovanju trajnejših razstavnih politik do 2. svetovne vojne. Številni prispevki so obravnavali vprašanja, ki jih odpira intenzivnejša institucionalizacija umetnosti, arhitekture in oblikovanja, zlasti v prvih desetletjih po 2. svetovni vojni, in obenem pričajo o velikem raziskovalnem interesu, tudi med tujimi strokovnjaki_njami, za to obdobje. Simpozij bomo zaključili z analizami sodobnih kuratorskih praks in novih razstavnih formatov, vključno z razstavljanjem performativnih praks, na spletu ter v javnem prostoru. S simpoziji Razstavljanje na Slovenskem si prizadevamo za globlje razumevanje tako samega medija razstave kot notranje logike in principov delovanja slovenskega umetnostnega sistema. Pri tem se sprašujemo, kako in zakaj se določeno razstavljanje pojavlja in uveljavlja, v kakšnem razmerju je do razstavljenih objektov in umetnosti nasploh ter kako se prepleta s političnimi in drugimi neumetnostnimi diskurzi in hotenji. Simpozij je nastal v sodelovanju Muzeja in galerij mesta Ljubljana, Društva Igor Zabel za kulturo in teorijo, Koroške galerije likovnih umetnosti in Galerije Božidar Jakac ter Umetnostnozgodovinskega inštituta Franceta Steleta ZRC SAZU in Oddelka za umetnostno zgodovino Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani v sklopu raziskovalnega projekta Likovno in arhitekturno razstavljanje med umetnostnimi in ideološkimi koncepti. Primer Slovenije, 1947–1979 (J6-3137 ). Simpozij finančno podpirata Javna agencija za raziskovalno dejavnost Republike Slovenije (ARRS) in ERSTE sklad. /ENGLISH/ Second Symposium on the Exhibiting of Art, Architecture, and Design, and Exhibition Institutions in Slovenia: 21–22 April 2022, City Museum of Ljubljana, Ljubljana At symposium, selected exhibitions, institutions, and other phenomena involved in exhibiting art are again discussed chronologically and from various perspectives. We begin with an important topic – the oldest permanent exhibitions of the Provincial Museum of Carniola – and continue with mid-19th-century art societies, which were the first to advocate and provide for more regular exhibitions of the art of their day. Introductory papers also discuss one-off and short-term exhibitions that took place before World War II; they are followed by reflections on the more stable thematic, programmatic, and political orientations of institutions and their role in directing and shaping the visual arts domain in Slovenia. As in the first symposium, the topics converge in research on the accelerated institutionalisation of art, architecture, and design after World War II as well as on how and why this trend soon resulted in a wave of recurrent events, primarily biennials. We conclude with analyses of selected exhibitions, significant curatorial practices of recent decades, and new exhibition formats. In the last section we look at practices in the exhibiting of performative work, as we move from standard exhibition venues to virtual platforms and the public space. We are particularly pleased to be again joined in our reflections by insightful foreign researchers, who bring valuable external perspectives on Slovenian exhibition activity. We intend to maintain the same approach we outlined with the first symposium: an in-depth reflection on exhibition activity in Slovenia that involves critical introspection and seeks to elucidate effects of exhibition practices that are harder to trace. Our explorations into how and why a certain exhibition practice occurs and becomes established, its relationship with the exhibited objects and art in general, and its interaction with political and other non-art The symposium was being organized in cooperation with: the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, the Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Koroška, and the Božidar Jakac Art Museum as well as the France Stele Institute of Art History (the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, ZRC SAZU), and the Department of Art History, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana as part of the research project Exhibiting of Art and Architecture between Artistic and Ideological Concepts. Case Study of Slovenia, 1947–1979 (J6-3137). The symposium was financially supported by Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) and the ERSTE Foundation.
