The exhibition explores a peculiar field of East European urbanity – the world of housing estates, the architectural experiments of industrialized production. These manifestations of the 20th century modernism’s social utopias offer a rich terrain for artistic reflection. Architecture and its cultural-political dimensions more and more often become the subject of contemporary art – our exhibition aims to map the intellectual context created by the dualities of communal cooperation vs. autonomous artistic activity; social-scientific concepts vs. civil uses; political representations vs. spontaneous identities; utopias vs. localities; planned economy vs. personal latitudes in the context of prefabricated housing estates.
