Projects
Since 1996 the Sculpture Institute has organised the Slovene Sculpture Exhibition based on a public call but with invited Slovene and international artists. Each year it has been curated by a local guest-curator (among them Milček Komelj, Milena Zlatar, Petja Grafenauer) and presented in the Magistrat Gallery with occasional transfer to another venue in Slovenia such as the Kosovel Culture House Sežana. The 2010 edition tuned in with the World Book Capital Ljubljana and followed the themes associated with books.
Since 2004 the Institute has run also the Grosuplje Sculpture Symposium, which evolved in a brand Grosuplje – Town of Sculptures [Grosuplje mesto kipov]. During the 5 days-workshop a few sculptors create artworks for public space in this town, 15 km south of Ljubljana.
International projects
The Institute was the official Slovene partner in the Sculpture network that in 2010 prepared the exhibition European Sculpture: Diversity and Differences in Practice in Grugliasco near Torino (Italy), running also parallel to Turin art fair Artissima. Approximately 30 to 35 sculptors from all over Europe and their small scale sculptures were selected by the international jury and curated by Patrizia Bottallo (Curator of Martin Arte Internazionale, Italy) and sculptor Rob Ward from Great Britain.
