Skiing in the Museum

Alenka Pirman


Are you looking for sport in a museum? In the case of Slovenia, skiing would be the most ubiquitous of them all. Beyond the stereotype of being a national sport, skiing has also grown into both an internationally successful business and industry and a rather commonplace lifestyle at the same time. But let's start our slalom through the skiing heritage with the fear of winter.

In his book Winter: From Fear to Joy Borut Batagelj, the director of the Historical Archives Celje claims that the tradition of skiing in Slovenia was invented. Until the early 1930s, going outdoors during the winter was strongly advised against for health reasons.

Overview



A Short Historical Overview of Slovene Film

In the context of a divided 20th-century Europe, Slovene film aesthetics clearly reflected the country's borderline characteristics. Whilst the influence of social realism was present in Slovene film from an early stage, film aesthetics in Slovenia have oscillated over the years between entertainment and politics, art and industry, aesthetics and ideology.

Osmo/za


Osmo/za is a collaborative space on the 8th floor of the 1960s' Avtotehna skyscraper at Slovenska 54 in the very centre of Ljubljana. It was set up in 2017 by a consortium of three NGO art/cultural producers with a rich and varied history: Ljudmila, which engages in the development and popularisation of open culture, free licences and software, and in new ways of data distribution; Delak Institute, a production house exploring post-gravity art and outlining a path for space culturalisation; and Projekt Atol Institute, whose activities range from art production to scientific research and technological prototype development and production.
