In Slovenia, a forma viva () is an open-air sculpture gallery or museum set in a park, displaying contemporary sculpture from around the world. It also refers to Forma Viva, an annual symposium on the subject of sculpture. The symposia take place annually at different locations in Slovenia. The main venues are in Portorož on the Seča peninsula (for stone), and Kostanjevica na Krki (for wood). Other locations are Ravne na Koroškem (for steel) and Maribor (for concrete). The symposia are the world's oldest active of their kind. ==History== The project was started in 1961 by Slovenians Janez Lenassi and Jakob Savinšek. They first met in 1959 at the ドイツ語:''Bildhauersymposion St. Margarethen'' in the quarry at Sankt Margarethen im Burgenland. In proposing the name ラテン語:''forma viva'', they meant exploring living sculpture in ever new directions; the meaning became extended to mean the symposia themselves, and later to describe any outdoor collection of sculpture. Soon after came parks at Ravne na Koroškem (1964) and Maribor (1967). From their symposia, the curators of the Littoral Galleries at Piran, who are in charge of the park, collected over 300 pieces of sculpture for the park at Portorož alone. These are now distributed around the several parks on the Slovenian coast, as originally planned over fifty years ago, although there are no plans for expansion. The symposia use some of their proceeds as grants to their exhibitors, in exchange for a donation of one or more works to the parks, such as Jose Ramon Villa Soberon's celebrated work ''Regatta'' in the marina of the port of Koper, where the mariners probably wonder what it is, while the few art-lovers passing by cannot even enjoy the view, it being rather in a blind spot. In its first year (1961) there were 22 international participants. The symposia in Seča have continued without exception every two years, with sculptors from 30 countries so far participating, creating over 120 works, and up to 30,000 visitors attending. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Forma viva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
