Perfect Place/No Place: Re-imagining Utopia Reenie Charriere
Curated by MicroClimate Collective (www.microclimatecollective.com) Opening: Saturday July 9th, 2011, 7-10 p.m. From the time of Plato's Republic to the present, the problem of utopian vision has been its conflation with the impossible and oppressive striving for "perfection." Yet the desire to create a better world is perennial, and as surely as utopian imagination encompasses its alter ego, dystopia, it remains a powerful interpretive force. If the speculative power of utopia has always been most vital at moments of crisis, what is its relevance to the current moment? What are the potentialities and pitfalls of utopian thinking? As creative and critical agents of culture, artists are its symbolic authors. Participating Artists: Matt Cella Reenie Charriere Brett Goodroad Myron Michael Nancy Nowacek Yulia Pinkusevich Sarah Ratchye Allison Rowe Maja Ruznic Ann Schnake Jake Ziemann with The Mobile Arts Platform (MAP), a collaboration project by Peter Foucault and Chris Treggiari Gallery Hours: Sun. July 10th, Sat. July 16th, Sun. July 17th, Sat. July 23rd, 2-5 p.m.
