Pekinpah Association

Simultaneously being an organisational vehicle for dancers, designers, architects and musicians, the Pekinpah Association is a rather curious production house. Established in 2007 and based in Ljubljana, its main activities feature contemporary dance production; publishing and presenting theoretical and practical reflections on design; and managing the musical band Silence. The association produces performances and exhibitions, organises lectures and congresses, and publishes research into new media and information practices.

It is an eminently international enterprise in all of these respects, regularly performing, lecturing or collaborating abroad. Among its many activities is the Spider project, not only an annual festival but also a transnational artistic network.

Bevk Perović Arhitekti

Founded in 1997 by Matija Bevk and Vasa J. Perović, Bevk Perović Arhitekti is a multiple-award winning architecture office based in Ljubljana. Well known for its big public housing projects as well as for its broad-mindedly designed private houses located around Slovenia, the office also garnered international recognition by gathering awards and winning several competitions and commissions abroad. The works by Bevk Perović often sport a slightly reserved feel, though paradoxically this doesn't prevent them from usually being very outspoken buildings.

Of their more notable recent ventures, one might mention their plan for the upcoming National and University Library building, the 2017 constructed Islamic Centre in Ljubljana and the Situla Building, a striking mixed-use block built near the main railway station in Ljubljana. Besides designing buildings, they occasionally collaborate with the contemporary lighting manufacturer Vertigo Bird. This particular enterprise also got them praise as well as awards.
