Utopia: an ideal that has driven mankind since the beginning of time. What will the future bring? What will the world of the future look like? How will we live? These and other questions are the focus of an international series of exhibitions that opened in June 2003 at the much-anticipated Biennale Festival in Venice, Italy. Conceptualized and curated by Molly Nesbit, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rikrit Tiravanija, the UTOPIA STATION project brings together the work of contemporary artists from different genres.
The International Child Art Foundation (www.icaf.org) complements this concept with a project for children worldwide. Under the motto "Utopia - children envisage and paint their future" the question of "What is the future?" will be answered in in�triguing, funny, whimsical, thought-provoking and interesting ways. The future is, after all, what our children make of it. Whether through photos, drawings, texts or collages, each child will record in his own style, his personal vision of the future. The result: an absorbing selection of regional and culturally specific utopias.
A selection of the work created by the children will be exhibited alongside the utopias of contemporary and renowned artists at the Haus der Kunst (in Munich, Germany) from October 1, 2004 till January 9, 2005. Yoko Ono is expected, among others, at the private viewing. ICAF will invite the nominated children to take part at the opening of the exhibition in Munich, Germany.
