New generations
The “New generations” project aims at providing scope for manoeuvre for the new generations of artists who are completing their studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice and the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, or who have just finished their training and are gradually emerging in the world of art. This project organizes monthly events, i.e. one evening during which every author illustrates his/her work with a performance or showing a video. Two events are envisaged for every author; in Venice they take place in the A+A Gallery, and in Slovenia they are held in Ljubljana - Škuc and Modern Galleries - and in the Coastal galleries of Piran - Pirano. At the end of the programme, an exhibition gathers the best authors of the two countries, first in Venice and then in Piran - Pirano, and a round table is organized with artists, editors and chairmen of several institutions to debate the problems of the young authors in the two countries. The project aims at fostering cultural exchanges which involve young artists in particular, but also the institutions operating in this cultural sector in the two countries, in order to provide the new generations with wide scope for manoeuvre and to create longlasting relationships.
