A collaboration between artist Sophie Warren, architect Jonathan
Mosley and writer Robin Wilson, "Beyond Utopia" looks at the
practicalities of utopian thinking in urban planning and
administrative culture. Submitting a utopian architectural proposal
for a real site in London to city officials, the trio enacted a
form of playful provocation as a basis for exploring the systems
and languages of planning, architecture and city development.
Though fictive, the utopian proposal gained credence as it was
discussed and shared among planning officials and reviewers,
ultimately becoming a springboard for dialogue about possibilities
and even actualities in the sphere of public space. Centered on a
screenplay for an unrealized film, which restages the process and
exchanges of the original proposal, "Surface Tension Supplement No.
5" also includes texts and projects by leading theorists, artists
and academics who debate the roles of spatial practice and politics
today.
