Gucci’s Utopic Exhibition: No Space, Just A Place. Eterotopia
As exhibitions around the world have been blocked in the wake of lockdown and the coronavirus pandemic, South Korea has launched a new exhibition of Gucci, titled No Space, Just A Place. Eterotopia, at the Daelim Museum in Seoul. According to the luxury giant, this project is aimed at supporting the rich cultural landscape and contemporary art scene in Seoul, taking its cues from the “complex history of independent and alternative art spaces” in the South Korean capital.
Through social media and fast communication it seems like anyone could be anywhere, anytime - at least in the world as we knew it up until recently. This potential ubiquity undermines the capacity of thinking “outside the box” as it fosters a type of uniformization. A metaphorical utopian space, that is to say a space that is other, separate from all the spaces that we know, is necessary to form new types of thoughts, new relationships between humans and towards the earth.
