Venues and locations
Since its beginnings it has grown quickly in size and scope, the events take place not only in Ljubljana art venues such as the Vžigalica Gallery, the Tovarna Rog, the SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kino Šiška, and the Slovene Ethnographic Museum, but also in Kranj and Novo mesto.
The festival is known for its luminous exhibition objects presented with public interventions (including artists like Aleksandra Stratimirović, Bernard Murigneux, NatanEsku, Benedetto Bufalino, Sophie Guyot, and many others) that take place at several site-specific locations: the Ljubljanica bridges and quays, the French Revolution Square, Tivoli Park, streets and gardens around Ljubljana, etc.
Collaborations and international cooperation
The festival regularly invites local, regional, and international artists and producers. Since its inception, the festival is co-financed with the help of the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Ljubljana. Since 2009 the festival has also received some funds from the French Cultural Institute Charles Nodier and in 2008 the programme of the festival was presented at the Ljubljana Spring Festival.
In 2011, the relation between light and sound is explored together with 16 artists, institutions and producers, adding new dimensions and locations. In the Light and Sound edition new collaborations have been established with: the Koper Grammar School - Ginnasio Capodistria, Cirkulacija 2, the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana. The 2012 edition was dedicated to Movement and produced under the motto: "Art must be defended from the egos of those that govern, from their ignorance, bitterness and fear of the individuals!"
