The works of Tadej Pogačar are included in this last life of artists' publications. The transition from the 1960s to the 1970s saw the emergence of the works by the OHO group and other artists presented in the magazines Tribuna, Problemi (PU and Katalog), a decade later, an array of photocopied books appeared in the fictitious publishing house Pest, produced by Vesna Črnivec, Iztok Osojnik, Issa and Iztok Saksida Jakac and Dušan Pirih Hup, while the beginning of the 1990s set forth a more or less continuous production by artists that entered the art world at that time. The first and isolated example was Red Lights by Veno Pilon before the Second World War.
The history of artists' books and other artists' publications made as a visual and thematic entity in the form of a book or other publication conceived by an artist and/or in collaboration with other artists, took on several lives in Slovenia in the 20th century. Publications and printed matter have always been a vital communication medium and an indispensable means for exchange of information for the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum of Contemporary Art with a new exhibition, featuring a selection of posters, artist books, newspapers, and magazines created in the last three decades. In May, we mark thirty years of P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Up to now, visitors could already explore the conceptual drawings that reflect personal thought patterns of their maker, Lia Perjovschi, and transform the structures of the Walkingstick shelves, tables, and chairs by Tobias Putrih as they have been part of the Semi-Permanent Exhibition in Cukrarna Gallery since its opening in September 2021. We continue our Reading Room programme with art interventions and a series of talks, round table discussions, and workshops.
