Urban Farm 4th - 8th October Marjetica Potrc Cardiff Bay, Cardiff The Slovenian artist Marjetica Potrc originally trained as an architect. Potrc shows how local inhabitants come up with and realise solutions that sometimes function better than the plans originating from the urban developer’s drawing board. Potrc’s projects are intended to suggest sustainable possibilities for improving the relation between the individual and society.
Her projects have strong social, political and economic dimensions.

For Urban Legacies, Potrc has developed Urban Farm, an elevated living structure where the walls and roof are used to grow a variety of seasonal vegetables, herbs and fl owers, tended to by the in-house gardener. This produce is then available to buy downstairs from a market stand, providing fresh produce for the local community, tourists and commuters of Cardiff Bay. This project is part of Urban Legacies: Another New Babylon, a series of temporary public art projects commissioned by CBAT, the arts & regeneration agency, Cardiff.
