The exhibition displays art projects produced by authors that have cooperated with us over the past six years within the framework of the residency and gallery programme CC Tobačna 001. The presented artists and creators explore the urban environment and translate their observations into works that tackle the notions architecture, city and territory. City, its architecture and restricted areas thus persist as a significant iconographic and conceptual source of contemporary art.

Utopia / Dystopia: Architecture, City, Territory unveils strategies that artists employ in dealing with urban architecture and range from investigating the construction process, researching architectural structures and materials to analysing the relationship between man and architecture, and space mapping. Some artists delve into the balance of power, which is manifest in thematizing the boundary between the private and the public or in questioning the laws, rules and prohibitions – that which represents the dividing line between what is allowed and what is forbidden. Others contemplate the European reality at a time marked by the removal of former “monuments” and border controls, but also a time in which boundaries still very much persist, with systematic control merely being moved to the external Schengen borders. These are merely some of the projects which reveal that utopia and dystopia are two sides of the same coin. The said concepts therefore interact in a relationship that is open to change – the more utopia is rendered impossible by reality, the more it becomes real or rather utopian, until it ultimately transforms itself through reality into the opposite, dystopia.
