70 Years of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts. A Reader
Reader, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, is the principal publication with which the International Centre of Graphic Arts (MGLC) marked the Biennale’s jubilee year. Its purpose is to complement the existing body of literature on the Biennale and to encourage new ways of reflecting on this enduring event – its past, its present, and its future. The authors of the texts place the Biennale within broader theoretical contexts, draw attention to pivotal events and significant figures, and trace the transformations in the exhibition’s development from 1955 to its most recent editions. Alongside the essays, two further elements form an essential part of the publication: the visual material, which documents events at and around the Biennale exhibitions, and the chapter Biennale in Infographics, which presents intriguing insights derived from statistical analyses of the Biennale’s rich history.
