City Gallery Nova Gorica, Trg E. Kardelja 5

We are informing you about participation of Saša Nabergoj, head of the World of Art, School of Contemporary Art.

The lecture entitled The Praise of Laziness is a part of the program Encounters with contemporary visual arts of the City Gallery Nova Gorica. The lecture will argue for the right to be lazy and will try to redefine the (predominantly negative) concept of laziness. In the world and in the world of art.

Saša Nabergoj works as a curator, writer, editor and lecturer in the field of contemporary art. She studied art history at the University of Ljubljana. She is an assistant director at the SCCA, Centre for Contemporary Arts in Ljubljana, which is a non-profit production, research and educational organization. Its main objective is to produce, encourage and communicate innovative artistic and interpretative practices and to link them internationally.  The centre provides those engaged in contemporary art (artists, curators, theoreticians, critics, and public) with knowledge, tools and skills for an independent and expressive performance in the world of art. She works as the head of World of Art, a school for curators and contemporary art critics, which is the only program in Slovenia as well as in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe intended for practical and theoretical education in the field of contemporary art. She is a member of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) in Paris and the International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art (IKT) in Amsterdam.  
Saša is a mother of two preschool girls. She is a keen cyclist, traveller and a promising runner (who just lacks a tiny bit of self-discipline). She enjoys cooking, reading fiction, conquering mountain peaks, playing tarot and spending time with her friends.
