In Slovenia on December 3 cultural organizations are celebrating arts and culture within the scope of events entitled Ta veseli dan culture / This Cheerful Day of Culture. SCCA-Ljubljana is joining with the open day event at SCCA Project Room.

Visitors will be welcomed by programs Videospotting, archive DIVA Station and Artservis’ Suitcase. They will be invited to take a look at SCCA Library, a collection of Slovene and international books, catalogues and periodicals on contemporary art and art theory.

Kindly welcomed!

Videospotting is a series of curated programs of video art in Slovenia produced and presented by SCCA-Ljubljana in solo screenings, exhibitions, lectures, and at international festivals, exhibitions, meetings (Basel, Moscow, Los Angeles, Tallinn, Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Almaty, Oslo, Prishtine, Cairo, Beijing, Luxemburg, etc.)

DIVA Station is a physical and web archive of video art which has been developing since 2005, and is one of SCCA projects, which is focused in the research, documentation and archiving of video / media art materials. DIVA Station is a partner in the GAMA (Gateway to Archives of Media Art), international internet platform, which brings together European video / media archives to make them more visible and easily accessible.

Artservis’ Collection is a thematic project on production conditions in culture. The Collection includes artworks that refer in a critical, analytical, witty, personal or any other manner to the conditions of creation, presentation, marketing and survival with culture and within culture – to those aspects of artistic creation that usually remain concealed. The collection found its “resort” also in the form of mobile suitcase meant for public presentations and individual viewings.

SCCA Library is a collection of Slovene and international books, catalogues and periodicals on contemporary art and art theory. It is focused on curatorial practices and media & video art and holds a lot of publications from the Region (Central and Eastern Europe and Asia). A more comprehensive collection of books, catalogues and referential texts on media & video art is planned in near future.

SCCA-Ljubljana program is supported by Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, Municipality of Ljubljana.
