Potrc's online project and New York workshop bring together diverse communities from developed and developing nations that share the active participation of individuals in designing and building their architecture and infrastructure systems. These communities are challenging the ways we think about city planning, local self-sufficiency, alternative energy sources, and architectural aesthetics. On September 28, 2002, the discussion and themes generated on Potrc's website will inform a one-day workshop, in which she will explore models of participatory urban planning with local and international contributors, discuss possible implications for their communities, and consider future scenarios for applications in New York City. Potrc's project can be found here. Artist : Marjetica Potrc Marjetica Potrc is an internationally exhibited Slovenian artist/architect whose work addresses the shifting terrain of the contemporary city and how its inhabitants adjust to its continual reinvention. In 2000, Potrc received the Hugo Boss Prize from the Guggenheim and exhibited Kagis: Skeleton House, an examination of subsidized housing models provided by the South African government. Potrc represented Slovenia at the Venice Biennale in 1993 and has participated in group exhibitions, such as the Bienal Internacional de São Paulo (1996); Skulptur. Projekte in Münster (1997); Do It, SKUC Gallery, Ljubljana (1998); Urban Visions, Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts (1999); and Manifesta 3, Ljubljana (2000). Most recently, Potrc's solo exhibition at the Max Protetch gallery in New York City examined the vernacular architecture of India's Barefoot College. http://www.potrc.org |
