Utopie Radicali: Florence 1966–1976 addresses the idea of utopia as a tool for social critique, by bringing together the projects and archives of Florentine protagonists Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, and Zziggurat, whose radical work are on view together for the first time in North America. The exhibition explores how the work of these iconoclastic practitioners on redefining the concepts of ecology and territory, studying contemporary nomadism, dissecting the ambiguous and increasingly fluid relationship between leisure and productivity, investigating the application of behavioural theories to shape domestic space, and testing new relationships with objects as extensions of the body, made Florence into a focal point for new developments in architectural thought.
