The Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory was founded in 2008 by Zabel family members and ERSTE Foundation. The association’s objective is to work with the heritage of Igor Zabel (an influential Slovene curator and art historian, 1958–2005), highlight and evaluate the importance of his work, especially the work he performed in the field of visual arts, as well as to put Zabel's work in a dialogue with current questions and phenomena in the field of contemporary art, specially by supporting art history and theory as well as curatorial practice in the Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and beyond.
