Forma viva

The main venues are in Portorož on the Seča peninsula (for stone), and Kostanjevica na Krki (for wood).

The symposia use some of their proceeds as grants to their exhibitors, in exchange for a donation of one or more works to the parks, such as Jose Ramon Villa Soberon's celebrated work Regatta in the marina of the port of Koper, where the mariners probably wonder what it is, while the few art-lovers passing by cannot even enjoy the view, it being rather in a blind spot.

[2] The symposia in Seča have continued without exception every two years, with sculptors from 30 countries so far participating, creating over 120 works, and up to 30,000 visitors attending.

The park at Portorož, in the Slovenian Littoral region, sits atop the small peninsula of Seča.

Istrian stone is favoured for its hardwearing quality, especially against water erosion (among other things it is used for the historic fountains in Venice).
