Marko Pogačnik

Marko Pogačnik (born 11 August 1944 in Kranj, Slovenia, Yugoslavia) is a Slovenian artist and author.

Background

Pogačnik studied at the Academy of Arts of the University of Ljubljana where he graduated in 1967. Between 1965 and 1971, he was part of the neo-avantgarde artistic movement OHO (in which Tomaž Šalamun and Slavoj Žižek also participated). From the 1980s he embraced a holistic vision of art. He claims to have developed a method of earth healing similar to acupuncture by using pillars and positioning them on so called 'lithopuncture' points of the landscape[1].

In 1991, he designed the official coat of arms of the newly constituted Republic of Slovenia. In the year 2006, he joined the Movement for Justice and Development led by Janez Drnovšek, the President of Slovenia at the time.

He lives and works in the village of Šempas in the lower Vipava Valley. In the last decade, the town of Nova Gorica, in which municipal territory he resides, has commissioned a number of public monuments from Pogačnik, most notably the monument to the 1000 years of the first mention of Gorica and Solkan, which stands in the town's central public square.
