Discovering Utopia: Lost Archives of Soviet Design

The film DISCOVERING UTOPIA tells the previously untold story of the VNIITE – the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Technical Aesthetics. Formed in the USSR in 1962 it brought together most progressive Soviet designers and became the head organization for the nationwide design system. But more than fifty years later, the organisation is all but forgotten. Until now, that is. Thanks to the efforts of the Moscow Design Museum the story of this remarkable organisation is being pieced back together.

A loft is the space between yesterday’s party and tomorrow’s exhibition. Today, it seems as though time has stopped. Anything can happen. Any incident could become an artistic or near-artistic statement. A rave, an event, an exhibition, even a party, for example for a birthday, can have the spirit of an artistic event if properly decorated and advertised in social networks. Even the absence of events, just hanging out in the creative space, can also be classed as some kind of «creative procrastination» or critical of the world of doing nothing. Modern art — performance, installation, video, becomes part of fashionable leisure time, part of a lifestyle. A kind of «psychedelic» pastime, in which the boundaries between everyday reality and artistic gesture are blurred, becomes commonplace.
