The utopian desire, the image-ability of possible futures, and the poetics of new social forms and expressions are in a moment of directed experimentation. This research explores whether art and architecture, beyond the production of new forms of capital or building solutions, have the power to re-imagine new forms of collective aspiration. Formica Redux creates alternative vision for the present and future of the New York re-enacting a utopian project from the city’s architectural past. It explores the potential of replicas in architectural production embracing the double meaning that the word bears in Romance languages—both a literal copy and an answer to previous statements. Formica Redux both appropriated an existing design and used it to make a statement. Its value has been attested by its inclusion in the exhibition, Past Futures, Present, Futures, (October 6, 2012 - January 12, 2013), curated by Eva Franch at Storefront for Art And Architecture, New York. The exhibition presented 101 unrealized proposals for New York City, dating from its formation to today with 101 re-enactments by invited artists, architects, writers and policy-makers to create alternative visions for the present and future of the city. With the belief that art and architecture, beyond the production of new forms of capital or building solutions, has the power to re-imagine new forms of collective aspiration, the exhibition presented a past and future historiography of novel ideas in New York to open discussion about relevant actions in the city, their vectors of desire, methodologies, limits, audiences and agents. |
