    @ Bianca - Ljubljana hat viel zu bieten, eine kulturelle und vielseitige Stadt.


    ALERT FOR METELKOVA

    This Wednesday, June 14th 2006, at 6 in the morning the government
    Inspectorate for the Environment and Spatial Planning brought an excavating
    machine to the Autonomous Cultural Zone Metelkova, Ljubljana, to tear down
    one of the buildings of the converted ancient army barracks which they
    consider to have been erected illegally. The cultural workers and
    supporters of Metelkova prevented the action. This attempt to destroy one
    of the liveliest cultural and intellectual locations in Ljubljana was the
    third one in the past few months. Various inspections have recently
    intensified their interventions during cultural events at Metelkova.

    The government of Slovenia is acting in accordance with a recently passed
    law on catering industries. Under the cover of its strict provisions
    regulating commercial activities, which cannot be fulfilled by the
    non-profit associations and NGOs of Metelkova, the executive might as well
    put an end to the large st agglomeration of alternative cultures in the
    country.

    Metelkova provides 40% of the non-commercial music events in the city. Its
    attendance can favourably be compared with that of the established
    Ljubljana Festival. It is the second largest provider of cultural events in
    Ljubljana. Metelkova is the only location in the city, and one of the few
    in the country, where youth cultures and alternative cultures are
    systematically produced and presented to a large and active audience. It is
    also a forum of impressive intellectual irradiation. During each academic
    year, it organises the Workers\' Punkers\' University where the most urgent
    dilemmas of the contemporary world are discussed by competent international
    speakers. Metelkova recently hosted the annual meeting of
    TransEuropeHalles. During the 13 years of its existence, projects at the
    Autonomous Cultural Zone Metelkova have been supported by the Ministry of
    Culture and by the City of Ljubljana, as well as by many international
    sponsors.

    Producers from Metelkova have been participating to Documenta, Manifesta,
    Sao Paolo Biennial, Venice Biennale, Wiener Festwochen… Many
    international festivals held in Ljubljana locate part of their activities
    at Metelkova: The City of Women, The Other Music, Jazz Festival Ljubljana,
    Trnfest… Metelkova has been presented as an outstanding phenomenon by
    international media: ARD, Arte, BBC, Belarus\' State TV, Die Zeit, Falter,
    Feral Tribune, Los Angeles Times, ORF, Russian State TV, Seattle Times,
    ZDF…

    Metelkova is a squat initiated in 1993, when a group of alternative
    producers and activists occupied the ancient barracks of the army
    headquarters near the centre of Ljubljana in order to prevent its illegal
    destruction, which was launched by still unknown agents presumably led by
    speculative real-estate interest. Although it has never succeeded in
    achieving a proper legal status, the location was registered as national
    cultural her itage in 2005.

    ACZ Metelkova is under attack. Its people are ready to defend it. They need
    support. Please circulate this information. If you want to express your
    support, please write to the Prime Minister:
    Janez.Jansa@gov.si
    And to the Minister of Culture:
    vasko.simoniti@gov.si

    For supporters of Metelkova:

    Narcisa Deskoviè, Sabina Dogiè, Žana Fabjan, Damjan Kocjanèiè,
