The Utopian City Project:
Presented by the Museum of Latin American Art
Preoccupied with the idea of building an improved society, many architects throughout history have developed projects with the aim of creating the ideal city. Using Long Beach as a model, this exhibition proposes a new exercise in imagining the perfect utopian city of the future. Architect Giacomo Castagnola and Urban Planner James Rojas will collaborate to create an interactive and inhabitable model of Long Beach that will allow the visitors to propose their own ideas for the future of the city. This project will push the boundaries of the conventional architectural model, giving visitors the opportunity to view the city conceptually as well as experience it physically through the senses. By interacting, the visitor’s body becomes an integral piece of the architectural installation.
The Arts Council for Long Beach and the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) are partners at The Collaborative providing curatorial and administrative oversight for this innovative space. The Collaborative engages visitors through a series of non-traditional exhibitions and site- specific installations. Each organization is responsible for planning two exhibitions a year. The Utopian City Project is made possible through a special collaboration between MOLAA, the Arts Council of Long Beach, the City of Long Beach Redevelopment Agency, and Lyon Management Company.
