The establishment of Škuc Gallery in 1978 as part of the alternative programmes of the ŠKUC Association offered an important foil to the dominant exhibition policy of the established national galleries and institutions in Slovenia.
History
The Gallery was launched with a retrospective presentation of work by the conceptual art group OHO. In the 1980s the Gallery became the centre of alternative (sub) culture in Ljubljana, presenting various multimedia projects. Its programme continued in the 1990s with solo exhibitions by young, hitherto unknown Slovene artists, solo exhibitions or public projects by established Slovene and international artists, thematic and group exhibitions organised by guest curators, and socio-cultural documentary exhibitions.
