  • 'Jutaek gogeupwareul wihan yesul' : hawimunhwa yesul gongdongchereul siui gyeongjejeok, dosijeok hwalseonghwaui sudaneuro iyonghagi = "Gentryfing art" : using subcultural art communities as a meand for a city's urban and economic revitalisation
    Uršič, Matjaž, 1975-
    The article examines the attempts made at economic revitalisation of Ljubljana's inner city and the consequences or "collateral damage" of this process. A lot of attention is given to the wider ... socio-cultural context, in which artistic practices are embedded in the city, and to the Slovenian population's perception of such practices. Artistic groups and their practicesare in this sense used as part of an 'interim development' strategy, i.e. temporary guests (non-statutory tenants) are warmly welcomed because their (sub) cultural capital happens to cultivate the area, making it "cool" and attractive, but when the value of the area's real estate begins to rise their low-income status does not grant them any tenant protection. Regardless of the social role they played in revitalising the city, these groups are therefore gradually ousted from neighbourhoods, which quite ironically are often advertised in the real estate market as the city's "Bohemian" or "cultural" quarters. This makes us aware of the lack of unique alternative or informal spaces, venues for alternative art movements and practices in the cities. 111ese issues are presented on the cases of the alternative spaces of Metelkova and the Rog Factory, both located in Ljubljana's inner city.
