Pogačar/Škufca/Valenčič

Šum journal and "Models of Extinction" (in english)

Šum - a journal and platform for contemporary art and theory-fiction was established in 2013 in Ljubljana by a group of artists and theorists. Three members of Šum's current team will talk about the motivations behind this project, the specific focus it developed in the last couple of years and the ways it operates within the contemporary art field. Last but not least, they will present the newest issue of Šum titled Models of Extinction. Free copies of the publication will be available at the event.
