Run by the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, the annual World of Art: School for Contemporary Arts is the sole programme in Slovenia and a pioneering one in the broader region of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe which offers practical and theoretical education in the field of contemporary art. Introduced in 1997 it is based on a premise that future experts (critics and curators) need and should be taught the necessary skills and methods to gain 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, the first one is more theory oriented, the second one is practical and is dedicated to the conceptualisation and realisation of a student-curated exhibition of contemporary art under the guidance of the programme tutors. The exhibition is also accompanied by a catalogue including texts written by the students.

The thirteenth version (2010/2011) will feature an exhibition at the Alkatraz Gallery, one of partners of the school. The current programme began in April 2010 and contains 11 students working with tutors Nevenka Šivavec and Jože Barši, along 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 20th-century artistic practices, trends, socio-political contexts and key shifts in the understanding, thematisation, analysis and historical positioning of fine arts. Beside paying attention to the lectures on the structure of the art system in Slovenia and its correspondence with the international context, 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 also the workshop to improve and familiarise the students with the history and theory of art criticism and curatorial concepts.

Partners

In addition to Alkatraz Gallery which features the final exhibition of the school in 2011, gallery partners of past editions were ŠKUC Gallery and Kapelica Gallery) in Ljubljana. Additional lectures were also held in Nova Gorica Arts Centre and Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art. In the latest edition World of Art also collaborates with the Department of Art History at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Arts, with 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).
