About The Artwork

Pregnant Diotima from Delphi is made as 30 slices of gel which scientists use for analyzing a DNA or proteins (it is called electrophoresis). These slices of gel are put on glass plates and also her head is in a glass box. But unlike the other parts of body, head is made of clay. Figure is life size and made as reminder of the debt to our ancestors and at the same time we carry that information in the genetic code as something that we give to our descendants. Diotima is carefully chosen as a "cultural" DNA carrier, who gave knowledge about the love to the Socrates, one of the key figures of our civilization.

I was born in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia, 4th of Oct. 1966. Graduated at Academy of Visual Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1991 with thesis "Site Specific Sculpture". Master of Arts degree with thesis "Sculpture in the Duration", 1993. I work as the professor for design and decoration at the High school for the Interior Decoration in Ljubljana and from 2005 to 2012 also as assistant professor at the Maribor University- Faculty for Art Education. One of my biggest achievementswas re-definition and adaptation of 100 years old military prison into the artistic youth hostel named Celica (opened 2003) with group Sestava http://www2.arnes.si/~jkocic/Eng/sestava.htm The other biggest project was my installation in the new building of "National Chemistry Institute" in Ljubljana, 2013, titled "Sign of Science": http://signsofscience-eng.weebly.com/ My work deals with wide range of contents because I'm interested in so many different things- from almost classical concepts of stone carving to conceptual texts, which I fixed at the entrances of few galleries in New York (95 Theses on Art: http://www.culture.si/en/File:95_Theses_on_Art_2012_Jiri_Kocica.jpg ) I participate in theory of art with articles in different specialized magazines and books. My artistic "In my artistic activity I’m interested in relation, authenticity and communication. Art for me is based in ethics."
