Grundriss New Babylon über Slotermeer, ca 1961

OltreCittà: Utopia and Reality From Le Corbusier to Gerhard Richter

The exhibition at Villa Bardini explores the macro-theme of the city amid visions both utopian and dystopian.

This intensely experiential journey narrates urban dreams, utopian cities, metropolises and urban landscapes imagined by artists of the 20th and 21st centuries in multiple art forms ranging from painting and sculpture to architecture, photography, video and contemporary music. Curated by Lucia Fiaschi, Bruno Corà, Silvia Mantovani and Claudia Bucelli.

Constant’s Grundriss New Babylon über Slotermeer (1958) is featured in the exhibition.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Fondazione CR Firenze and Generali Valore Cultura, in conjunction with the Fondazione Parchi Monumentali Bardini e Peyron.
