Andreja Borin, curator of Marko Pogačnik's survey exhibition, will present artist's 50 years work. The exhibition's initial concept presents different ways discovered by Marko Pogačnik in the past 50 years, how to incorporate the artistic potentials into various life processes. It all started with his collaboration with the OHO movement and art group (1965-71), followed by the foundation of the farming and artistic community Šempas Family. At the present, this orientation is reflected in collaborations with the VITAAArt Group and with LifeNet groups around the world in setting up Geopuncture Circles. Also documented are Pogačnik's interactions with political processes, such as his resistance against the Vietnam War (1966) and his contribution to Slovenia's independence in the form of the state coat-of-arms.
