Limited places, drop in early to avoid disappointment
Exhibiting artists from our current exhibitions Futurologia and Russian Utopias
explore what will occupy the artists in the future? And will there be a place
for art in the future? The discussion will be linked to the perception of art
and its position within the utopian ideal. For example, from the beginning of
the twentieth century, artists often gave up their artistic practices for the
sake of utopian projects, becoming architects, inventors, scientists,
sociologists and political activists. This can sometimes be linked back to
classical writers such as Plato, and their distrust in the value of an artist’s
practice.
Irina Kulik is an art critic and professor at the Institute of Contemporary
Art, Moscow.
