History

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.
