Fotopub Project Space is set in an abandoned Petrol gas station that had been designed as part of a comprehensive project to develop the northern entry to the Ljubljana city center. It was built in 1968 and designed by architect Milan Mihelič (1925-2021), recipient of the Prešeren Award, the highest decoration in the field of artistic creation in Slovenia. Since the first presentation of the gas station as a project space in June of 2017 with an exhibition by Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs, Fotopub uses the space to explore direct dialogue between space, artist and technician (curator) through site-specific installations. While the space does not focus on a specific form of art or presentation, a search for alternative use of exhibition space is present in all exhibited projects, as well as the aspiration for material, energy and financial efficiency in artistic production. In the era when Berghain is becoming an exhibition space and the square foot is the most valued currency, we believe that our project space can be anything - it can offer its square feet to those in need to form a community/collective in the spirit of the collectivist tradition of our history. Fotopub Project Space is a research facility in search of new processes and approaches to exhibition-making in denial of the contemporary-historical artistic traditions and connected excessities striving for the most efficient path from idea to its materialisation.
