About The Artwork

Figure out Statues from collection Figure Out are little artworks, which deals with questions about the relationship between art and taste. Is taste “hardwired” within the genome? Or is it accustomed? Do we instantly know what is good or we have to learn about the difference? Miniature silver sculptures, representing children in different poses (at the photography you can see child sleeping on fingerprint) jut out of the bigger wooden box, kind of pedestal. It’s also obvious, that there are two parts of this wooden box. If the box is opened, spectator is surprised with its content: namely the bigger part of the sculpture is hidden inside and it reveals that statue is just a part of the silver spoon. So the figure is literally “out” (of the box)… We all know the saying that someone is “born with silver spoon in his mouth”. Here we have the situation, where art brings analogy as a platform, as a holder of contents, which brings the taste to the experience in the same manner as the spoon brings the taste to the tongue…

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."
