Šum Magazine is a biannual journal for for critical examinations of contemporary art. It strives to produce both theory and theory based criticism of art, as well as reflect on the mechanics involved in artistic production. As such, it is delving into topics of working conditions, discursive systems, the role of intermediaries in the field (i.e. museum, galleries, curators, etc) and the related questions of self-organisation and autonomy. Currently still focused on Slovenian speaking readers, it accepts articles written in English language as well.

Aside from dealing with written works, ŠUM also frequently organises live events such as seminars, discussions, lecture and live presentations of the published content. These activities are often done in collaboration with various institutions and media organisations.

A collaborative model

Mostly publishing mostly works by the younger generation of often self-employed cultural workers, the magazine runs a specific model of financing by way of creating a co-production network of partner institutions (public and NGOs).

Current institutions that financially back Šum – and also provide it with the infrastructure for distribution and various public activities – include Moderna galerija and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, The Municipal Gallery of Ljubljana, Art Gallery of Maribor, The International Center of Graphic Arts Ljubljana, ŠKUC Gallery, Art Gallery Slovenj Gradec and the Center for Contemporary Art Celje.

Writers and topics

The editorial team, members of which also contribute articles, is fluid and currently consists of Tjaša Pogačar, Domen Ograjenšek, Andrej Škufca, Kaja Kraner, Izidor Barši and Tomo Stanič.

Some of the texts published up until now have examined: the relation between politics and aesthetics with regards to the theory of Walter Benjamin; the work of the performance artist Sanja Iveković; the umestitev of Die Antwoord into the artistic context; translations of the work of Chantal Mouffe and Hito Steyerl; and the relation between the triad of Jacques Rivièr (critic) - Vaclav Nižinski (dance) - Antonin Artaud (poet).
