Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E.

Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. is an independent non-profit cultural producer and publisher, operating for the past 29 years in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In 2004 we launch a program focused on artist books and editions and collaborate with known international artist and artist-groups.

The working philosophy of the Zavod P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. was based on ideas and strategies of adaptability, flexibility, intersections of disciplines and discourses, collaboration, exchange and critical approach. In last years a number of research projects that we have prepared have dealt with the topics of locality, language and ideology, participation, alternative energy sources, informal models of economy, transformation of public space, and overlooked art artistic phenomena from the history.

Our mission is to exchange new ideas, promote innovative and challenging models in current art and culture locally and internationally.
