GuestRoomMaribor





Maribor â€" the city of industrial culture

Maribor is the second biggest town in Slovenia, in last 5-6 decades known
for its industry and industrial culture,
renowned technical faculties, textile industry and wine. There is an
active art scene in the city, multimedia, music,
performing, visual, which can compare to the Europe finest and has also
gained its international
acknowledgment. Somehow it seems the specific industrial cultural context
of the city does allow and encourage
innovative art forms: Festival Magdalena, Son:Da, Carmina Slovenica Choir,
Puppet Theatre of Maribor, Tomaž
Pandur, etc.



Pekarna Magdalenske Mreze has, in collaboration with MKC Maribor and
Maribor 2012, established the new

Maribor residency platform â€" Maribor GuestRoom.



Our aims are:

- Opening Maribor for foreign guest artists
- Initiating long lasting connections of the art scene of Maribor with the
international art scene
- Establishing Maribor as a city of research, incubator of new ideas






For the first two years, the topic of the residency program is Maribor,
its culture and its identity. Therefore
the aim of every residency is also presentation of the work â€"
production, work in progress, installation, action, that
rethinks and reacts on Maribor situation: industrial - post-industrial,
rural â€" urban, socialistic â€" post-capitalistic,
intimate â€" political, private â€" public space, hidden â€" visible,
innovation â€" rigidity.



The participants are going to be chosen by a jury of renown Maribor
artists or art producers concidering the
following criteria:

- coherence with the theme and city,

- originality of the content,

- degree of feasibility,

- communicativeness,

- possibility of integration with Maribor art scene.
