Utopia/Dystopia

 - Utopia/Dystopia
Companion book / reader to the eponymous exhibition at MAAT, Lisbon. It features previously unpublished essays on the ongoing transition from the notion of utopia toward its mirror image: dystopia.
The book Utopia/Dystopia is a companion to the curatorial project by the same title that opened at Lisbon's MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. It is not exactly an exhibition catalogue, but rather a reader containing previously unpublished essays on the ongoing transition from the five-hundred-year old literary notion of utopia, toward the pervasive, everyday imposition of its mirror image: dystopia.
Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon, from March 22 to August 21, 2017.
