GuestRoomMaribor
GuestRoomMaribor artist-in-residence program was established in 2011 by Pekarna Magdalenske mreže (henceforth PMM) – a non-governmental organization focused on independent cultural production in Maribor, Slovenia. PMM is established as a creative and emancipatory physical and mental space used for production, promotion and and informal education in the fields of art, culture, youth work, civil society and active citizenship. The organization’s activity is defined by the conceptual field of informal culture, subculture, deinstitutionalized culture, counter-culture, independent culture and urban culture, as well as social movements. In the context of contemporary art practices, PMM represents an important generator of non-institutional and independent art practices; it encourages socially engaged art, hybrid and experimental artistic expressions and approaches.
The GuestRoomMaribor artist-in-residence program has a strong professional network, which includes local independent curators, cultural producers (individuals or organizations) and alternative production spaces. It is also well connected with the emerging scene of art theorists, art critics from Maribor and Ljubljana.
