Born in 1956 in Ljubljana. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where he completed postgraduate studies in sculpture (M.A. in Fine Arts) in 1988. He was active in various art groups: Ana Monro Theatre (1981–1991), R IRWIN S group (1983–1985), Zlati kastrioti music & multimedia group (2000–2005). His artistic practice is characterized by a prominent interdisciplinary approach and a distinct taste for poli-media. He is using methods, strategies and procedures deriving from various artistic practices as well as the tools and languages of several media and means of expression, thus establishing a Gesamtkunst work. He is exploring and linking performance, sound, video and installations, in addition to his sculptures. In a direct or media situations he is prone to establish a symbolical space of communication in which the spectator plays an active role of decipherer of meanings, a connector and trigger of events. The levels of significance of this entire artistic practice evoke multi-facetted references and associations that are connected to preceding attainments - chiefly those of (historical) Avant-gardes as well as the individuals that stubbornly persisted in their own utopian projects. The artist brings together the old and the new - something we might call the past and the present and even the potential future. If our consciousness is the result of interactions between the present and the past, then Kovačič's artefacts tell us that our future is also an unmistakable actor in this world of fragmentary perception and crumbling relations. The past memories might fill in our holes whereas the future expectations might make our lives more bearable.
