since 2007
UTOPIA esquina con Calle de Magdalena is a three-folded project consisting of 3 strategies: Mail Art, Blog and temporary installations in disused shops.
During rambling through the neighbourhood Lavapiés, where I lived in Madrid, I’ve found this empty, disused space called UTOPIA.
As a “country of nowhere” utopia is mentioned in a dictionary. Nevertheless for this country exists endless concepts that are possible to differ of a plain impossibility, as Robert Musil argues, because one can dissolve a possibility of the contemporary, prevented complications and grant its development.
Beginning of 2006 I’ve decided to print 500 photopostcards, that were distributed in its neighbourhood and mailed to people attempting to trigger thoughts about utopia.
The blog got created end of 2007: All the answers, that I received are presented and interested people can react on them and blog their own ideas.
UTOPIA is part of Gallery Evolution de l’Art
