.abeceda Institute
Concept
In its own words, the institute's activities are aimed at combining the potentials of contemporary artistic and social practice to generate a new creative space between the fields of artistic practice, theory and research. As such, it is designed to attract young musicians into a research environment into which they can feed their own individual and collective work, to generate infrastructural models capable of fostering self-reflection and performance. One such model is that of the artist-in-residence.
The institution's work centres on four areas: education, publication composition and performance.
Education
Moderated by Hočevar and supported by the Slovenian Embassy in The Hague, precept.concept.percept is an international interactive and virtual workshop, part of the institute's centre for research in .meta programme, that aims to produce new infrastructural frameworks via solo compositions submitted by the participants. These compositions are then documented and performed by members of .abeceda new music ensemble, among others.
The ensemble is a creative unit, led by an artist-in-residence, that meets virtually to develop compositions through a series of 'monthly transactions', the first of these being Hočevar's Σ[ ]_composition for .meta (2020). The composer-in-residence for 2020 was Neža Zupanc.
