| description | The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) in the 1980s was crowded with collectives, organisations and individuals who fought for autonomous spaces in larger cities where they created thinking hubs brimming with creativity, comradeship and progressive exchange of thought. In Ljubljana, one such location existed at Staritrg 21, a space which the Student Cultural Centre (ŠKUC) acquired in 1978 and where the ŠKUC Gallery currently still operates as part of the same organisation. As various sections (visual art, music, publishing, etc.) operated at the same premises, exhibition-making itself was intertwined with various events and art forms, through which the people behind the ŠKUC also addressed current social issues. The following paper focuses on the work by artistic directors Barbara Borčić and Marina Gržinić during the years between 1982–1985. Gathering their intentions mainly through their writing and selected projects, we clearly see that as artistic directors they created a playground for younger generations to collectively create and produce multifarious forms of artistic expression rooted in social criticism, which is something we can surely learn from even today. |
