About The Artwork
Pregnant Prophetess is from the series "Prophetesses". These sculptures are approximately 17 cm high and are made with three different materials: one is the plastic in the core of the sculpture- this is figurine, made with 3d printer. The other material is gel, similar to that one, which scientists are using for electrophoresis- that is DNA- sequencing and analyzing. At the back of the sculpture (please check also other photos in collection) there are few gels with dye and the sequencing of DNA is clearly visible. But there is also another gel, which is wrapped around the 3D figurine and around sequencing gels. This gel forms a palm print so finger prints and palm lines are clearly visible. Three of these figurines are standing on a glass box and below there are letter ACTG which represents letters of nucleobases that form DNA. Letters are parts of tombstones, which were abandoned and destroyed. Sculpture connects contemporary materials and concepts of being helped with new technology to the destroyed remains of our ancestors who gave us (and so determined us with) their genomes.

Slovenia
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."
