The politics of utopia have produced a rich and varied literature, including the work of St. Simon, Martin Buber, Ernst Bloch, among many others. Utopian Pulse explores this tradition from the perspective of art practice and asks how art can engage with and contribute to utopian ideas. This book will be published alongside an exhibition of the same name and will include artwork from the exhibition itself.
            The contributors to Utopian Pulse invoke utopia as an alternative to the status quo, a recognition of something missing that opens up many imaginative possibilities. International artistic researchers, artists, and artists-curators contribute diverse examples of what these possibilities may be from their own artistic practice.
            More than just a theoretical treatise, this photographic and illustrative book, featuring color pages throughout, is a beautifully designed companion to the series of works and projects that Utopian Pulse documents. This book will serve not only as a contribution to the existing literature on utopia and utopian politics, but also as an inspiration to artists seeking to realize these ideas through their work.
