We are pleased to announce the appointment of Tevž Logar as the curator of the 10th edition of Triennial of Contemporary Art U3, which will take place from June to November 2024 in the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana.

 

The Triennial of Contemporary Art U3 was established in 1994 by the Moderna galerija with the aim to provide a periodic overview of the current situation in contemporary Slovene art through the subjective eye of a curator/selector, drawing attention to works which are, according to the selector, the best and closest to the sensibility of the time. So far the triennial has been curated by Tomaž Brejc, Peter Weibel, Gregor Podnar, Christine Van Assche, Jurij Krpan, Charles Esche, Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez, Boris Groys, and Vít Havránek.
