+[[Gulag Institute for Contemporary Arts and Cultures|Gulag Institute]] is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded by [[Zoran Srdić Janežić]], [[Petja Grafenauer Krnc]], [[Jana Putrle Srdić]] and [[Gorazd Krnc]] in [[established::2006]]. The Gulag Institute focuses on development, research and production of contemporary art and culture. Its main activity is co-production of visual art exhibitions of its members and other collaborating artists. They mostly work in the field of sculpture, performing art, public events and round table discussions and publish catalogues and artist's books.
+==Projects==
+A contemporary sculpture project ''Public Sculpture: The Slovenian square, Kranj'' took place in Kranj in autumn 2011. The project aimed to search for new possibilities of sculpture in public space and discuss the role of the public monument in terms of memories. The project consisted of public actions by [[Jernej Mali]], [[Andrej Štular]] and ''Zoran Srdić Janežič'' which established a dialog with public sculptures by ''Lojze Dolinar'' on the Slovenian square in Kranj and a discussion evening in the rooms of the [[Municipality of Kranj]] where many local experts participated including [[Dušan Tršar]], [[Marko Arnež]] and [[Nika Leben]].
+Gulag Institute produced or coproduced many projects by [[Zoran Srdić Janežič]] such as the exhibition and performance ''Corpus Indeterminata'' that was presented in the gallery of the [[Sculpture Association]] in December 2011 and in the [[Alkatraz Gallery]] where visitors could see a sculpture cast of artist's body with a pig head, made from lard and cracklings.
+Gulag also produced [[Zoran Srdić Janežič]]'s art project ''Proteus anguinus Carnium'' (2010) that included sculpture, graphic folders, artist's book and a performance by [[Boštjan Gorenc Pižama]] and a project ''How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood'' in [[Hest 35 Gallery, Ljubljana]] in 2009. The same year Gulag coproduced a painting exhibition by [[Gorazd Krnc]] in [[Nova Gorica City Gallery]].
+''Contemporary Art Tea Parties'' were part of the production of the Gulag Institute from 2006 to 2009. They were prepared by [[Petja Grafenauer Krnc]], [[Jadranka Ljubičič]] and [[Zoran Srdić Janežič]] in co-production with [[KUD Mreža Arts and Culture Association]] and [[Alkatraz Gallery]]. Monthly meetings aimed to promote discussion and constructive dialogue about contemporary art and took place in the [[Alkatraz Gallery]]. There were round tables about various topics such as contemporary art events, writing about art, activism, comic books, street art, presentations of young artists etc. In 2009 the ''Contemporary Art Tea Party'' accompanied the [[Biennial of Graphic Arts]].
+=Publications==
+Gulag Institute publishes catalogues and artist's books which are usually part of an art project that includes different media such as ''Proteus anguinus Carnium'',  ''Kiparski projekt: Javno kiparstvo: Slovenski trg Kranj'' (Public Sculpture: The Slovenian square, Kranj) and an artist's book of 40 drawings of cat-like creatures (2008) by [[Zoran Srdić Janežič]] titled ''Tomislav Vrečar: I'm watching a friend in the morning, how he is playing with a cat'' after a poem by [[Tomislav Vrečar]].
