Talking House - Theory Open I - The Shirt of Saint Francis installation by Barbara Novakovič Kolenc at Museum of Modern Art, 2003

Established in 1995, the Muzeum Institute is a non-for-profit institution for art production, mediation, and publishing. The organisation developed out of Muzeum Theatre (1993), a conceptual theatre company under the direction of Barbara Novakovič Kolenc; theatre production remains the core of the organisation's activities. Muzeum has produced a dozen performances conceived and directed by authors coming from non-theatre fields (architecture, dance, light design, art history, visual arts) investigating theatre language anew.

Muzeum has been also involved in different visual art and multidisciplinary European projects. Muzeum was also a partner in the 3-year project ECLAP (European Collected Library of Artistic Performance) which endeavours to create a digital library of performance-related material linked to Europeana, the European Digital Library.

Theatre production

Between 1993 and 2000 Barbara Novakovič Kolenc conceived and directed five stage performances: Cricket in the Fist [Čriček v pesti], Lo Scrittore, Emilia [Emilija], The Girl and the Double Bass [Deklica in kontrabas], and Paracelsus & Frankenstein, each of them exploring individual fields of art, namely fine art, architecture, dance, music, and movement. The subsequent synthesis performance All Together Now [Vse najboljše] was staged at the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana, featuring a cast of actors from an old people's home, and was presented at the Manifesta 3 in Ljubljana (2000). Barbara Novakovič Kolenc directed Racine's Berenice in the framework of the Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana repertory in 2000.

Cricket in the Fist by Muzeum Theatre, staged at the VIBA Studio, St. Joseph's Church, 1994. "The image simbolizes theatrical and art historical iconography as a time machine travelling back into middle age, to the gesture of the written word." Performing: Barbara Novakovič and Ivan Peternelj

In the period 2000–2004 Muzeum produced a series of performances under the title Project 1–5, which investigated theatre language through the input of architects, dancers, theatre theoreticians, light designers or art historians, who were involved in stage direction for the first time (Matej Filipčič, Rok Oman, Primož Jesenko, Majda Gregorič Trost, Lela B. Njatin, Rok Vevar).

Barabara Novakovič Kolenc's 2006 performances Molière and the Rodin II received excellent reviews; especially Rodin II installation with performance in collaboration with the Sonček - Cerebral Palsy Association of Slovenia was presented yearslong at several festivals and venues in Slovenia and abroad. In 2007–2009 the Winter's Uncle trilogy was conceived: A Winter's Tale [Zimska pravljica], based on the play by Shakespeare, which was staged at Križanke, while in 2008 Uncle Vanya and the 12 bouquets [Striček Vanja in 12 šopkov] based on Chekhov.

The performance The Repository WUST (Winter's Uncle and Summer Tale) [FUNDUS ZS PP (Zimski striček in Poletna pravljica)], created by B. Novakovič Kolenc and Sanja Nešković Peršin (2009) featured artefacts from the City Museum of Ljubljana and selected contemporary visual art as a set (Zora Stančič, Polona Maher, Damijan Kracina, Katarina Toman Kracina, Nataša Skušek, Mladen Stropnik, Sašo Vrabič, Matic Sonnenwald and Živa Žitnik). In performance tourings, artefacts were site specific – in 2010 the performance was presented at KiBela Art Space in Maribor and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina in Novi Sad.

International visual and performing arts projects

Muzeum Theatre productions have been presented in Austria, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Mongolia, Croatia, Albania, Armenia, Serbia, Italy, Macedonia, Israel and Montenegro. The Museum Institute is a member of the Informal European Theatre Meeting (IETM).

Muzeum has also produced various international visual arts projects, notably Map to Paradise from Ljubljana (2000), a site-specific installation at Ljubljana Castle by Peter Greenaway, and the accompanying Peter Greenaway film retrospective.

In June 2005 the Ljubljana events within the international project The Gesture in the Cultural Heritage of Europe took place, while in Autumn 2005 the Muzeum Institute participated in the international co-curatorial and multidisciplinary project Continental Breakfast [Kontinetalni zajtrk]. The Ljubljana component of the project was entitled Memory (W)hole and comprised an international symposium, a site-specific exhibition, and art performances at Ljubljana Castle. New variants of the Memory (W)hole exhibition were subsequently presented at the Skopje Museum of Modern Art in Macedonia and at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

In 2007 an international exhibition entitled Paperwork was presented at the City Museum of Ljubljana.

In the period 2010–2011 the Muzeum Institute was one of co-organisers of the EU Culture supported project Focus on Art and Science in the Performing Arts: European contemporary production. In April and November 2010 the residencies and presentations of international authors were organised in Ljubljana, while Miha Erman, author of a selected Slovene production for the project Focus, participated in a residency in Italy and presented his work at Fabbrica Europa Festival in Florence, Italy. In May 2011 Muta Imago and Masque Teatro presented their recent production to Ljubljana audience within Muzeum's ŠIFT TEATER II platform.

Besides theatre and visual arts projects the Muzeum Institute has initiated and been involved in a number of international cultural policy projects (e.g. Mobile Theatre Network and MTN Loops, 1999–2001).

In 2015 and 2019 Barbara Novakovič Kolenc curated the Slovene section for the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space (PQ). More details see at Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space chapter.

ECLAP

Together with 20 partners comprising leading national performing arts institutions, universities and research institutes from 13 European countries, Muzeum Institute is a member of the ECLAP consortium. ECLAP is co-funded by the European Union ICT Policy Support Programme as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme, Theme CIP-ICT-PSP.2009.2.2.

ECLAP aims to create a considerable, and hitherto missing, online archive for all the performing arts in Europe and to provide solutions and tools to help performing arts institutions to enter the digital Europe by building a network of important European performing arts institutions and archives and publishing content collections on Europeana. Through ECLAP portal users will not only be able to see the work of Dario Fo, Odin Teatr, and Jerzy Grotowski online, but be also able to enrich, contextualise, annotate and aggregate that content; and even distribute and access all content via different devices such as PCs, tablets and smartphones. ECLAP also intends to provide an important digital tool through the usage and exploitation of e-learning facilities.

ECLAP also organises workshops and conferences, to actively foster networking and strengthen links among the performing arts institutions throughout Europe and at an international level. ECLAP is also developing best practice guidelines which can be a model for future projects funded through the European Commission. All interested institutions and stakeholders are invited to register, to use and to be an active part of the ECLAP programme and collaboration framework.

Muzeum publishing

Since 2000 Muzeum has published the Muzeum Newsletter. Other publications have included Mobile Theatre Network Calendar 1999, Mobile Theatre Network – Strategies for Establishing Distribution Networks for Independent Performing Arts in Central and Eastern Europe (a symposium in 1999), Peter Greenaway's Book (a book of theoretical texts by Slovene authors on the work of Peter Greenaway), Peter Greenaway: Map to Paradise from Ljubljana (a book of the event documentation) and the Memory (W)hole - Continental Breakfast Ljubljana and Paperwork exhibition catalogues.
