The International Symposium of sculptors Forma viva with four workstations in Kostanjevica na Krka, Sezha pri Portoroz, Ravne na Carinthia and Maribor is definitely a phenomenon on a global scale. The exhibition presents selected highlights of 50 years of operation; from a shot from St. Louis. Margarethna from 1960 where Vilma Pirkovich and Lado Smrekar are on a tour of the work site, we continue with shorter texts and documentary photographs. The layout is enriched with works of art (drawings, prints, sketches ...), which were left by the participants in addition to sculpting in Kostanjevica, and some preserved posters. Some small plastics are also placed in the room, which served as models or were made as independent works at the symposium. In addition to numerous kostanjevica, five sculptures from coastal galleries and one from Raven are exhibited. The special room features documentary footage of RTVSLO from 1961 to 1988 and a photographic installation by Uros Abram called FOTOVIVA.

Mednarodni simpozij kiparjev Forma viva s štirimi delovišči v Kostanjevici na Krki, Seči pri Portorožu, Ravnah na Koroškem in Mariboru je vsekakor fenomen v svetovnem merilu. Razstava predstavlja izbrane vrhunce 50letnega delovanja; od posnetka iz St. Margarethna iz leta 1960 kjer sta Vilma Pirkovič in Lado Smrekar na ogledu delovišča, nadaljujemo s krajšimi teksti in dokumentarnimi fotografijami. Postavitev je obogatena z likovnimi deli (risbami, grafikami, skicami …), ki so jih poleg kiparjenja v Kostanjevici pustili udeleženci, ter nekaj ohranjenimi plakati. V prostor je umeščenih tudi nekaj manjših plastik, ki so služile kot makete ali pa so jih izdelali kot samostojna dela ob simpoziju. Poleg številnih kostanjeviških je razstavljenih pet skulptur iz Obalnih galerij, ter ena iz Raven. V posebni sobi so predstavljeni dokumentarni posnetki RTVSLO iz let 1961 do 1988 in fotografska instalacija Uroša Abrama imenovana FOTOVIVA.
