PCA Faculty Silvia Potočki's solo exhibition at Cité Falguière
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Atelier 11, L’AiR Arts former resident artist and PCA faculty member Silvia Potočki returns to Cité Falguière to prepare a solo exhibition, “Transmissions”, reflecting on Atelier 11’s rich legacy as a historic hub for artistic reflection and creation.
The collaboration between SofijaSilvia and L’AiR Arts began in 2022, when the artist participated in a residency at Atelier 11 to prepare her solo exhibition Pendulum, which was presented in April 2023 in Zagreb, Croatia. Commissioned by the Art Pavilion Zagreb and realized at the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science in Zagreb, the exhibition was originally conceived within the context of the botanical garden. It now “returns” through its organic evolution to Atelier 11 — a space that inspired and nourished the artist’s thoughts, further enriched by a series of coincidences linking the three locations.
“This exhibition was born in my thoughts in this very place and then manifested itself in physical form at the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science Zagreb, titled Pendulum. Now, evolved and morphed like a living organism adapting to a new environment, is coming back and shifts from speaking about relationships between people and nature, to contemplating the relationships between places, architecture and cities with nature and man.” – by SofijaSilvia
