Background
The BOKS Society was established in 2010, when it was first and foremost meant as an organisational entity, under which the Projekt BOKS (initiated in 2009) would be run. Conceptualised by students of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and the Faculty of Architecture, it was meant to create an autonomous venue for artistic production and presentation. Due to the differences in how autonomy was viewed by the academy and the initiators, the project was prematurely terminated and instead resulted in a symposium, entitled 'How to think autonomous structures within educational systems of formal education and within art system' and organised together with the The Workers and Punks’ University.
Activities
Later, in 2012, BOKS produced the so called "Reading evenings" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (MSUM), reading and discussing relevant texts on the issue of history, art and documentation. This was followed by the 'Politics of exhibition' project, meant to acquaint students with the basic workings of the art system and also (unsuccessfully) set up a temporary gallery space for students.
Another such educational endeavour was called 'Youth on the juncture between art and society', and involved meetings and discussions about 6 select art pieces from Slovene national museums and galleries. Co-funded by the EU, its resulting publication led to the founding of the Šum Magazine.
=Šum Magazine
Most of BOKS activities happen under the 'brand' of Šum Magazine, a journal that is being funded by a consortium of mostly public art institutions, among them being Moderna galerija / Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana plus Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, City Art Gallery Ljubljana, Maribor Art Gallery, the International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, ŠKUC Gallery, Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts and the Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art.
Besides publishing texts, other activities include seminars on theory of contemporary art, on curating of contemporary art, and on analysing contemporary art; live presentations of new journal editions; and other lectures, talks and debates that relate to art, theory and politics.
