New York Public Library - Utopia
2000
New York, New York
The “Utopia” exhibition, which was co-sponsored by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, was organized into thematic units: Sources, Other Worlds, and Utopia in History. Our installation represented the theme of Utopia as a journey without a specific end. Instead of displaying the valuable first editions of utopic literature, we chose to have contemporary copies of the books in open shelves for anyone to pick up and read, presenting a cultural transparency of literature, compared to the political and social utopias represented by the rest of the exhibition.
