The OHO Award was established in 2005 by the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute in collaboration with the Foundation for a Civil Society and with the support of the New York based Trust for Mutual Understanding. The aim of the OHO Award is to support young visual artists and to take them from a marginal social position to a more central role in society, with an emphasis on a positive context based on openness and creativity.

Ljubljana is again hosting the internationally renowned Belgian multidisciplinary artist, playwright, stage director and choreographer Jan Fabre. Three venues operated by the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana are staging Fabre's exhibitions, presenting his multi-faceted oeuvre as a visual artist. 

The Lifestream project was designed and premiered in 2009 at the Summe (Poletje) exhibition at the Maribor Art Gallery. This is a video installation or a video space – environmentally installed video piece, projected upon unconventional projection surfaces and submerged in an intense lighting environment within a uniform sound ambient, through witch the author reflects her intimate experience of the urban environment, in which she lives.

Fotomuzej.si is a collection of photo cameras and other photographic equipment, collected by an acknowledged photo reporter from Maribor, Dragiša Modrinjak, a master of photography and a FIAP artist.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Penguin Books, Penguin's long-time creative director Paul Buckley chose 75 book covers that represent the best of what Penguin has produced over the course of the last decade, and investigated the design process behind each one. The selection was published as Penguin 75: Designers, Authors, Commentary (the good, the bad...), a book that came out in 2010.

The exhibition is conceived as research into the life of a metropolis, as a large organism, whose image is defined both by structure, as well as the anomalies which disrupt that structure and at the same time establish the grounds for an even more solid construction, thus allowing such a monumental formation to function.

Documentation and archiving of media art materials has become necessary for the reflection of contemporary art practice and media art. The "How to Connect the Contents of AV Archives?" project consists of exhibition, lectures (Steven Kovats, Dalibor Martinis), screenings and workshop on digitization of archival contents.

Stripburger's editorial board is opening the gala program celebrating the magazine's coming of age with an exhibition, showing the dimensions of the comics medium.

Ubermorgen.com is attracted to the surface of Google, Amazon and eBay, the three historical e-giants who have brilliantly managed to survive the dotcom boom and bust. Back then and still today, the three kings form the powerful spearhead of e-commerce (EKMRZ). By creating the third piece – the Sound of eBay – they wrap up the trilogy they have started in 2005 with the killer concept GWEI – Google Will Eat Itself and carried forward in 2006 with the dark Amazon Noir.

Author's comprehension of objects of photography is displayed through an open series of photographs. It presents a spectrum of objects, from ephemeral alluvium of mundane urban life to the artifacts of modernist architecture. In the following step the author takes in consideration the objects of thought – sketches, models and framed pictures which define their own context of performance.

Meta Grgurevič and Urša Vidic are authors, working in the field of visual arts. Both had several independent exhibitions – this time they present their group project, entitled Flowers are Inherently Disgusting.

The study exhibition features a diverse programme in terms of genre and media, showcasing artistic works and projects examining conditions for artistic production.

The exhibition From Above consists of three selected projects by the Swedish visual artist Conny Blom. In his work the artist deals with defining issues of our modern society, our living conditions and the rights of the individual versus the society and the economical forces. 

The exhibition is the work of three artists: cloathing designer Almira Sadar, sculptor Polona Maher and Maja Hawlina, working in the field of visual communications in public space.

What the two artists have in common is the fondness for recycling or reshaping mass media images: events, records, materials, ideas, situations, pictures, objects that are connected with everyday life within urban the environment.
