Curator: Miško Šuvakovi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/strong> is one of the most important artists and curators in Slovenia in the last twenty years. His artistic and cultural production has developed as an open form of critical art based on appropriations and parasitical approaches, which include specific contemporary artistic practices. Tadej Poga\u010dar has developed numerous projects and conducted extensive research on contemporary ways of life. <\/p>\n The main goal of the current exhibition is to create a “working perspective” of Poga\u010dar’s artistic practice by presenting his major projects of the last twenty years with documents, artifacts, interventions, etc. The exhibition will present about twenty projects developed between 1990 and 2011, occluding photographs, videos, installations, drawings, objects, public space projects and site-specific interventions. <\/p>\n In preparing the exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina Tadej Poga\u010dar has collaborated with a group of young curators completing the World of Art<\/em> course for curators organized by SCCA-Ljubljana. The course participants dedicated this year’s final show, which was on view in Alkatraz Gallery from 13 April to 6 May to Tadej Poga\u010dar and his work Quarter to Two<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n The exhibition will be accompanied by rich illustrated bilingual catalogue with texts by Miško Šuvakovi\u0107 and Ana Vilenica<\/strong>, which will be published by the Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina.<\/p>\n The project and the exhibition were organised in collaboration with Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E., Ljubljana.<\/p>\n The exhibition is organised in collaboration with SCCA, Center for Contemporary Arts – Ljubljana and young curators\/participants of World of Art; School for Curators and Critics of Contemporary Art; 13th year<\/em>. <\/p>\n World of Art; School for Curators and Critics of Contemporary Art; 13th year<\/a> Additional information:<\/strong><\/p>\n Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E.![\"Tadej](\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/2010-11\/pogacar_petnajst-do-dveh.jpg\")
