UTOPIA - an exhibition on the architecture of perfection
Utopia - an exhibition on the architecture of perfection
6 May 18:00 - 10 May at 18:00
Nolia's Gallery (60 Great Suffolk Street, SE1 0BL)
The exhibition Utopia explores the union of two entwining elements: utopia and architecture. The exhibition can be described as a fresh perspective of an enormously debatable concept: Utopia -as applied within the context of the exhibition, of architecture, and of our society. The exhibition will be one that intrigues as it will require one to dispel any presumed knowledge surrounding the term; artists seek to challenge, distort or elucidate the idea of utopia. Each artist takes on the topic on different levels of involvement, some experiment within the confines of a neighbourhood, within the gallery itself, or even with product design. What would be on display would be a fresh outlook of utopia in the subtext of architecture - made valuable by each contributor's background and vocation.
Utopia is also a premier of the collaborative efforts between ASEAN
students from distinctive European Art and Design Universities;Goldsmiths University of London, Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design, , Slade School of Fine Art, Architectural Association, Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL).
Goldsmiths participants: Sze-Yenn Cheong, Xie Shangyi, Mana Yamaguchi, Joyce Yeo.
