We would like to inform you about the exhibition project of Petra Varl, an artist taking part in SCCA-Ljubljana project Internet Portfolio.

The exhibition is the result of cooperation between the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna, the UPM – Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, and the MGLC – International Centre of Graphic Arts in Ljubljana. To familiarize a broader public with the multi-faced genre of artist’s books, the institutions have joined forces to launch Artists‘ Books on Tour. Artist Competition and Mobile Museum, a EU-funded project. One major objective of the competition was to gain a better view of the Europe-wide creative work in the field of artist’s books. To this effect, Europe’s (book) artists were invited to deal with the subject of artists‘ books and their multiple forms of aesthetic expression. The present exhibition features the five winning projects and 45 other selected competition works.

Petra Varl is participating with the project VSAKDAN/COMMONPLACE (domino, 1996).
