The P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute is the roofing institution for many ideas and activities of the internationally renowned Slovene arist Tadej Pogačar and adherents of him. It runs nowadays two inependant spaces in Ljubljana: the P74 Centre and Gallery and the Kapsula Gallery and it is the holder and the organizer of the OHO Group Award. Beside that it is conspicuously focused on the artist books with the aim not only to produce, present, dispose and sell them on the international art fairs, in both exhibiting spaces, and per internet, but it also forms the collection of those formats, so called Collection of the artist book of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute. Last but not least, the Institute is the ground for the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art (PMCA)-- Pogačar´s variegated and rich art production, which core is internationally known under the method called the new parasitism.


History

The historical base for the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute was the seria of Tadej Pogačar´s art projects entitled the Museum of Contemporary Art realized in the beginning of 1990s, what was in 1993 renamed and officially esablished as the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art (PMCA).

PMCA became renowned for the reworking of the logotype of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the theft of the introductory speech of the director of the Guggenheim from its homepage. Numerous interventions into the other museum collections followed, including Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, Museum of Contemporary History, Ljubljana, Naturmuseum, Rotterdam, Museum of Modern Art, Mucsarnok, Budapest, and Moderna Museet, Stockholm.


PMCA received wide media attention and fame with the organisation of the 1st World Congress of Sex Workers at the 49th Venice Biennale and of New Parasitism at the Padiglione dei Sex Worker in Giardini. In recent projects PMCA has conducted research and analysis into parallel information strategies and parallel economic models in selected urban areas.

PCMA runs the P74 Centre and Gallery at Prušnikova 74 in Ljubljana, which was established in 1999 and presents and produces visual arts and intermedia projects and exhibitions and also engages in sound and music projects.
