Overview

Marjetica Potr (pronounced [ma rjetitsa p tr t ]; born 1953) is an artist and architect based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her interdisciplinary practice includes on-site projects, research, architectural case studies, and series of drawings. Her work documents and interprets contemporary architectural practices (in particular, with regard to energy infrastructure and water use) and the ways people live together. In June 2011, the Newsweek art critic Blake Gopnik named her one of The Ten Most Important Artists of Today, noting, She's taken the idea that art can change the world and made it come true. Potr was born in Ljubljana, capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, which was then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Her parents were both writers. Her father, Ivan Potr, was a well-known Slovene social realist novelist and playwright from Lower Styria, and the main editor of the publishing house Mladinska Knjiga. Her mother, Branka Jurca, was a teacher and magazine editor and also a famous author of children's literature, who was born in the Kras region of western Slovenia but moved to Maribor, where she met Marjetica's father.
