MoTA–Muzej tranzitornih umetnosti je prejela odločbo Ministrstva za kulturo o zavrnitvi sofinanciranja našega programa za obdobje 2022–2025. Čeprav je program MoTE v preteklih štirih letih Ministrstvo ocenilo kot presežno, prijavljenemu programu pa po izkazovanju ustvarjalnosti in izvirnosti pri pristopu in izvedbi dodelilo najvišje možno število točk, je komisija za glasbo odpovedala podporo programu, kljub temu, da smo  presegli prag (dosegli smo 83 točk) za sofinanciranje programa. Tako v pregled nista šla niti ostali dve tretjini programa na področju vizualnih in intermedijskih umetnosti.

Z odtegnitvijo programske podpore se bo močno otežila realizacija:
- Festivala SONICA, vodilnega festivala za sodobno elektronsko glasbo pri nas,
- koncertnih serij SONICA in SONICA Classics,
- koncertne serije Sonica X, ki predstavlja slovenske ustvarjalce na koncertnih večerih v tujini,
- zvočne Galerije Arkade, za katero komponirajo vrhunski glasbeniki sodobne klasične glasbe in smo jo doslej izvedli v Ljubljani, Almatyju, Štanjelu in v Novem mestu.

Na ostalih področjih pa:
- nove galerije MoTA LAB, kjer smo načrtovali predstavitve umetnikov mlajše generacije,
- projektov Nonument Group, prejemnikov Plečnikove medalje,
- premiere nagrajenega projekta Cyanometer v prestižnem Muzeju zgodovine znanosti v Ženevi,
- ter mnogih projektov v razvoju. Ogrožena je vključenost v platforme SHAPE in v ostale nove evropske projekte, s katerimi slovenske ustvarjalce vpenjamo v mednarodni prostor.

MoTA program je izrazito multidisciplinaren. Ne delujemo le na področju glasbe, temveč enakovredno na vseh treh področjih, za katere smo pripravili program. Naš program soustvarjajo številni vrhunski strokovnjaki iz področja glasbenih, intermedijskih in vizualnih umetnosti, v njem sodeluje veliko število raziskovalcev in teoretikov mlajše generacije. Poleg tega smo vpeti v številna partnerstva tako v Sloveniji kot tujini, kjer smo zavezani k realizaciji projektov, ki so v teku, nekatere postprodukcije v evropskih prestolnicah, kakor tudi izven Evrope in nenazadnje sodelovanje s prihodnjimi Evropskimi Prestolnicami Kulture.

Kljub izpadu teh sredstev ostajamo zavezani našemu poslanstvu in nameravamo izpeljati glavne projekte s čimbolj kakovostno. Hvala vsem za dosedanjo podporo in upamo, da se vidimo kmalu!

MoTA-Museum of Transitory Art has received a decision from the Ministry of Culture refusing to co-finance our programme for the period 2022-2025. Although MoTA’s activities over the past four years were considered by the Ministry to be surplus to requirements, the music commission withdrew its support for the programme, despite the fact that we had exceeded the threshold (we reached 83 points) for the programme to be co-financed.

Withdrawal of programme support will make its implementation very difficult. Some of our project that might be affected are:
- the SONICA Festival, the leading festival for contemporary electronic music in Slovenia,
- the SONICA and SONICA Classics concert series,
- the Sonica X concert series, which presents Slovenian artists at concert evenings abroad,
- the Arcade Gallery, which commissions sound compostions from established and prominent Slovenian and international artists;

in other areas (the visual and intermedia art):  
- the new MoTA LAB gallery, where we have planned presentations by artists of the younger generation,
- the projects of the Nonument Group, recipients of the Plečnik Medal,
- the premiere of the award-winning Cyanometer project at the prestigious Museum of the History of Science in Geneva,
- and many projects in development; and our involvement in the SHAPE platform and other new European projects, which are helping to bring Slovenian artists into the international space, are under threat.

The MoTA programme is distinctly multidisciplinary. We are not only active in the field of music, but equally in all three areas for which we have developed a programme. Our programme is co-created by a number of top experts from the fields of music, intermedia and visual arts, and involves a large number of younger generation researchers and theorists. In addition, we are involved in numerous partnerships both in Slovenia and abroad, where we are committed to the realisation of ongoing projects, some post-productions in European capitals as well as outside Europe and, last but not least, cooperation with future European Capitals of Culture.

Despite the loss of these funds, we remain committed to our mission and intend to carry out the main projects with the highest possible quality. Thank you all for your support so far and we hope to see you soon!

Programme coordinators of MoTA, Nonument and Sonica: Luka T. Zagoričnik, Nika Grabar, Miloš Kosec, Gala Alica Ostan Ožbolt, Brandon Rosenbluth, Martin Bricelj Baraga, Neja Tomšič, Barbara Tomšič.

PLEASE SUPPORT US WITH A STATEMENT OF SUPPORT! With them we will be able to appeal to the Ministry of Culture for support for our programmes.
