Utopia
is a non-place, a good-place. Utopia is defined as an idyllic society
with a legal system and socio-political ideals, a society living in
harmony, between geographical dislocation and intellectual positivism.
Many have been and will be, the failed attempts to reach that model.
Utopias
are for Birds is based on a collection of utopian projects:
architectural ideas that could not be carried out because of financial
or constructional unfeasibility, leaving only drawings and diagrams for
posterity.
The different birds' nests are reproductions of
drawings by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Archigram, Superstudio, Yona Friedman
and others. Placed amongst the architecture of the building where the
gallery is located, the works create a path from the street outside to
the courtyards.
