lecture by: Marko Pogačnik, artist
The author of the survey exhibition Art Descending upon the Earth Marko Pogačnik and Maribor Art Gallery invite you to a cycle of three lectures and a geomancy workshop with the Maribor area. The cycle of lectures and the geomancy workshop take place during the set up of the exhibition executed by the artist and his team, and are considered as an introduction to its opening on 4 April 2013.
The world based on the intellectual view is losing its future. A system of synchronous worlds of the Earth is being formed. How can we get in tune with the new dimensions of being?
Marko Pogačnik (1944, Kranj) was a member of the Conceptual group OHO (1965-1971). He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana (1963-1967). In 1971, together with his friends he began joining art and life (land art) and established a commune in Šempas in Vipavska valley. With his wife Marika and daughters Ajra, Nike and Ana he has developed a new artistic practice called »lithopuncture«. This involves positioning stone pillars on selected landscape points to balance the flow of energy in selected area. Special signs (called cosmograms) carved in the stones act on the consciousness of the space with vibrations of the carved information. Pogačnik has raised his lithopunctural points in Slovenia and abroad. For his 1991 retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana he was awarded with the Prešeren Fund Prize.
