Letošnji trienale smo začeli z javnim pozivom umetnikom za predloge za razstavo projektov, ki jih imajo v delu in jih bodo razvijali še v naslednjih letih. Tako smo se izognili predstavljanju že videnih del in s tem dali poudarek delom v procesu nastajanja. Ob predpostavki, da je potrebno slovensko umetniško dejavnost internacionalizirati, smo v dogovoru z na natečaju izbranimi umetniki in s pomočjo tujih ambasad v Sloveniji organizirali udeležbo na artist-in-residence programih. S tem smo opozorili na enega izmed najlažjih načinov za vstop na mednarodno umetnostno sceno, hkrati pa vzpostavili stike z organizatorji rezidenčnih programov, ki jih nameravamo vzdrževati tudi po trienalu. Z njimi ali njihovo pomočjo želimo nagovoriti večje število uporabnikov kulture in vzpostaviti okoliščine za koprodukcijske povezave, ki bi slovenskim umetnikom omogočile dodatno financiranje in trajnostno/procesno delo. Tako delo omogoča natanč nejše projekte in večje (ne le fizične) formate ter vsebine, ki niso hermetično lokalne, temveč primerljive na mednarodni ravni.
Zasnova razstave je razdeljena na štiri module: predstavitev dobrih praks, predstavitev umetniških del, analize produkcijske situacije v 20. stoletju in javne predstavitve, okrogle mize, predavanja in performansi.
Glede na to, da je namen letošnjega U3-ja opozoriti na neizkoriščene možnosti za izboljšanje produkcijskih razmer na področju vizualnih praks, želimo predstaviti nekatere primere dobrih praks, ki so vsaka na svoj način dosegle raven, na kateri je mogoče zvezno in načrtno razvijanje umetniškega opusa. Teh primerov ne bomo predstavili kot razstavo artefaktov, temve bomo z njihovo prisotnostjo na letošnjem U3-ju le poudarili dejstvo, da je tak način razmišljanja možen in nujen.
V drugem modulu bomo predstavili enajst izbranih umetniških projektov, ki bodo postavljeni v razdelkih kot enajst samostojnih razstav. Ločenost projektov je potrebna predvsem zato, da ne bi z izborom umetniških del lažno namigovali na skupne poteze med projekti, saj vsak izmed njih izhaja iz povsem samosvoje poetike.
V centralnem prostoru bodo postavljeni elementi, v katerih se združujejo izhodiščne teme letošnjega U3-ja: produkcijski pogoji na področju vizualnih praks, internacionalizacija, veliki formati, družbeno odgovorne teme V tem prostoru se bodo odvijale tudi vse dejavnosti iz četrtega modula.
Četrti modul ni postavljen v prostor, temveč v čas: realiziral se bo v teku trajanja razstave. Od januarja do začetka marca bodo izbrani umetniki predstavili svoja dela (tako tisti, ki razstavljajo, kot tisti, katerih prispevki bodo objavljeni v zborniku), organizirali bomo okrogle mize, gostje iz tujine bodo predstavili rezidenčne možnosti, izvajali se bodo koncerti in performansi
Po koncu trienala bomo izdali zbornik, v katerem bodo objavljene teme, umetniški projekti in posebej za trienale narejeni prispevki. Vanj bomo vključili tudi vse uporabne transkripcije iz četrtega modula. Zbornik bo predstavljal projekt U3/2006 in tudi situacijo, ki je pripeljala do prav takega trienala. Zbornik bo povzetek stanja na področju vizualnih umetniških praks danes v Sloveniji in izhodišče za razprave o izboljšanju produkcijskih možnosti na področju sodobnih vizualnih dejavnostih.

This year’s triennial began with a public invitation to artists to submit proposals to exhibit projects they are currently working on and which they expect to continue developing in the next few years. In this way we have avoided a presentation of previously seen works and shifted the emphasis to works in progress. In the belief that Slovenian artistic activities should be internationalized, we enabled, with the help of foreign embassies in Slovenia, the selected artists to participate in artist-in-residence programs of their choice. This served to draw attention to one of the easiest ways to enter the international art scene and at the same time to establish contact with residential program organizers; the aim is to network with them also after the triennial, to address through them, or with their help, a larger critical mass of consumers of culture, and create a foundation for co-production associations which would provide Slovenian artists with additional funding and allow them sustained, processual work. Such work makes possible larger projects and formats (not only physical), and contents that are not hermetically local, but comparable on an international level.
The exhibition is divided into four modules: a presentation of good practices; a presentation of art works; an analysis of the 20th century production situation; public presentations, panel discussions, talks, and performances.
As the aim of this year’s U3 is to draw attention to the unexploited possibilities for improving production capacities in the field of visual practices, we wish to present a number of examples of good practices which have attained, each in its own way, a stage where the artist can develop his or her oeuvre in a continuous and planned manner. These examples will not be presented as a display of artifacts; their presence in this year’s U3 will emphasize the fact that this way of thinking is possible and, indeed, imperative.
The second module will present eleven selected art projects, displayed in separate compartments as eleven solo exhibitions. It is necessary to separate the projects in order to avoid false allusions to any supposedly common features between the chosen projects; they, on the contrary, derive from very distinct, individual poetics.
The central room will be dedicated to elements on which the principal topics of this year’s U3 converge: production conditions in the field of visual practices, internationalization, large formats, socially responsible themes Furthermore, all the fourth-module activities will also be held in this room.
Rather than in space, the fourth module is actually situated in time: it will be realized in the course of the exhibition. From January through early March the artists selected for this module (both exhibiting artists and those who will be presented through their contributions to the forthcoming proceedings) will present their works, panel discussions will be organized, the possibilities of residential programs will be presented by foreign guests, and concerts and performances will all take place within the framework of this module
Following the conclusion of the triennial, the proceedings will be published, comprising the themes and art projects presented at the exhibition and papers written expressly for it. All constructive transcripts from Module 4 will also be included in it. This compilation will serve as a summing up of the current situation in the field of visual art practices in Slovenia, and as a point of departure for debates on how to improve production capacities in the field of contemporary visual activities.
