In this video, Vivien Greene, Curator of 19th - and Early - 20th - Century Art at the Guggenheim Museum and curator of «Utopia Matters» talks
about her motivation to conceive this exhibition, the reason why utopian groups
flourished throughout the 19th century, and contemporary movements with utopian
aspirations.
Any fruitful discussion of what to do
about climate change — however serious a problem it turns out to be — must first recognise that it is this background of degraded political
aspirations that has provided the ground on which environmental politics has been able to
flourish and onto which the science of climate change, resource use, and biodiversity has been superimposed.
