The [[U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts]] was established in [[established::1994]] by the [[Museum of Modern Art]] with the aim to provide a periodic overview of the current situation in contemporary Slovene art through the subjective eye of a curator/selector, drawing attention to works which are, according to the selector, the best and closest to the sensibility of the time. To assure a certain level of objectivity, the selector of every second Triennial is a foreign curator, since this emphasises the purpose of the event: to underline differences in aesthetic concepts as well as in professional, critical, cultural, political, and social positions.

Because of renovations to the [[Museum of Modern Art]] the sixth, most recent, U3 was postponed until June 2010 and entitled ''Idea for Living'' [Kako živeti]. It is curated by Charles Esche, current director of the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and curator and co-curator of many international exhibitions around the world including biennials such as the 2nd RIWAQ Biennial (Ramallah, Palestine; 2007 and 2009), the 9th International Istanbul Biennial of 2005, and the Gwangju Biennale (Republic of Korea; 2002).

The curator of the first U3 was the Slovene art historian and critic [[Tomaž Brejc]] and offered a survey. The second triennial of 1997 was curated by Peter Weibel, a multimedia curator, artist and writer, active at Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe. Themes were dislocation, discommunication, medialisation,  contextualisation, and a critique of the museum institution and art system. His U3 edition stirred a lot of local polemics mostly arguing the potent role of the curator.

The 4th Triennial of 2003 with the title ''Here and There'' was curated by Christine Van Assche, a new media curator from the Musée national d'art moderne at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris. It concentrated on the concept of the museum, based on the supposition that museums have changed tremendously over the last fifty years. The shifting concept of museums was presented in 20 projects: prints were exhibited on billboards throughout Ljubljana ([[Sašo Vrabič]]), a video was broadcast on TV ([[Davide Grassi]], [[Igor Stromajer]] and [[Brane Zorman]]), the exhibition included projections on the façade of the museum ([[Martin Bricelj]]), a music performance in a theatre ([[Random Logic]]), a project on the Internet ([[Andreja Kulunčič]]), and a project involving visitors' cell phones ([[Vuk Čosić]]). Further artists included [[Bojan Brecelj]], [[Tomaž Gregorič]], [[Dejan Habicht]] and [[Tanja Lažetić]], [[Janez Janša]] (formerly and nowadays again known as [[Žiga Kariž]]), [[Borut Peterlin]], [[Franc Purg]], [[Tobias Putrih]], [[Son:DA]] and [[Tao G.

The curator of the 5th edition of U3 (from 28 December 2006 to 4 March 2007) was Jurij Krpan, artistic director of Ljubljana's [[Kapelica Gallery]]. The exhibition was divided into 4 modules: in the first one only the presentations of works comprehended as good practices to draw attention to the unexploited possibilities for improving production capacities in the field of visual practices were shown. The second module featured the exhibition of 11 selected intermedia art projects as [[Viktor Bernik]], [[BridA]], [[Srečo Dragan]], [[Nika Oblak and Primož Novak]] in collaboration with [[Stefan Doepner]], [[Mark Požlep]], [[Sašo Sedlaček]] and others. The third module, featured in the central room of the triennial, dealt with the analysis of the 20th-century production and public presentations. The fourth module consisted of panel discussions, talks and performances. Several representatives of international art institutions, centres, organisations and networks presented their artist-in-residence programmes.

The U3 Triennial of Contemporary Slovene Arts was established in 1994 by the Museum of Modern Art with the aim to provide a periodic overview of the current situation in contemporary Slovene art through the subjective eye of a curator/selector, drawing attention to works which are, according to the selector, the best and closest to the sensibility of the time. To assure a certain level of objectivity, the selector of every second Triennial is a foreign curator, since this emphasises the purpose of the event: to underline differences in aesthetic concepts as well as in professional, critical, cultural, political, and social positions. Up to know the triennial was curated by Tomaž Brejc, Peter Weibel, Gregor Podnar, Christine Van Assche, Jurij Krpan, and Charles Esche.


About editions

The curator of the first U3 was the Slovene art historian and critic Tomaž Brejc and offered a survey. The second triennial of 1997 was curated by Peter Weibel, a multimedia curator, artist and writer, active at Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe. Themes were dislocation, discommunication, medialisation, contextualisation, and a critique of the museum institution and art system. His U3 edition stirred a lot of local polemics mostly arguing the potent role of the curator.

The third triennial of 2000 entitled Vulgata, was conceived by Slovene art historian and curator Gregor Podnar, then the artistic director of the ŠKUC Gallery, and tackled the Slovene national identity based on social constructs. Among others it exhibited the works of Marko Peljhan, Tadej Pogačar, Alenka Pirman, Vuk Ćosić, Marko Kovačič, Damijan Kracina, Darij Kreuh, and Maja Licul.

The 4th Triennial of 2003 with the title Here and There was curated by Christine Van Assche, a new media curator from the Musée national d'art moderne at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris. It concentrated on the concept of the museum, based on the supposition that museums have changed tremendously over the last fifty years. The shifting concept of museums was presented in 20 projects that expanded also through other mainstream channels: prints were exhibited on billboards throughout Ljubljana (Sašo Vrabič), a video was broadcast on TV (Davide Grassi, Igor Štromajer and Brane Zorman), the exhibition included projections on the façade of the museum (Martin Bricelj), a music performance in a theatre (Random Logic), a project on the Internet (Andreja Kulunčič), and a project involving visitors' cell phones (Vuk Ćosić).

The curator of the 5th edition of U3 (2006) was Jurij Krpan, artistic director of Ljubljana's Kapelica Gallery. The exhibition was divided into 4 modules. The first one exposed the good practices, which drew attention to the unexploited possibilities for improving the production conditions in the field of visual arts. The second module featured the exhibition of 11 selected new media art projects by Viktor Bernik, BridA, Srečo Dragan, Nika Oblak and Primož Novak, Mark Požlep, Sašo Sedlaček and others. The third module, featured in the central room of the triennial, dealt with the analysis of the 20th-century production and public presentations. The fourth module consisted of panel discussions, talks and performances. Several representatives of international art institutions, centres, organisations and networks presented their artist-in-residence programmes.

The Idea for Living [Kako živeti], the 6th edition of the triennial was postponed to June 2010 because of the renovation of the Museum of Modern Art. It was conceived by Charles Esche, current director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, who dedicated his research to the reflection on the notion of realism in contemporary art. His selection included the most Slovene artists since the triennial's inception. The exhibition was designed by Bevk Perović Arhitekti and has featured also the carefully selected historical works from the museum's collection as well as the works by some key figures from ex-Yugoslavian film and art scene.
