A selection of works from Moderna galerija's Arteast 2000+ and national collections plus special projects
Arteast 2000+ was the first museum collection conceived with a focus on Eastern European postwar avant-garde art in a broader international context. Since its inception in 2000, the collection has become well known for providing a comprehensive overview of art in the region. Similarly, it is recognized for the insight it provides into certain shared sociopolitical issues that are or were of central concern for artists in the formerly socialist countries. In 2011, the Arteast 2000+ collection came to form the core of the newly founded Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (+MSUM), which operates as part of Moderna galerija in Ljubljana.
