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.
