Don't miss out — “Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980” is making its debut at MoMA in New York this Sunday, July 15. “Toward a Concrete Utopia” is the first major U.S. exhibition that examines the distinctive works of Yugoslavia's architects that attracted global interest during the country's 45-year lifespan.

Showcasing Yugoslav architecture's hybridity and its range of styles, the exhibition will have over 400 drawings, models, photographs, and film reels, including works by prominent architects like Bogdan Bogdanović, Juraj Neidhardt, Svetlana Kana Radević, Edvard Ravnikar, Vjenceslav Richter, and Milica Šterić. 

The works explore themes of large-scale urbanization, technological experimentation and its application in everyday life, consumerism, and monuments and memorialization. They also highlight the different modes of production and the global reach of Yugoslav architecture. 

In case you missed our first preview, here's another sneak peek of the exhibition right below.

    MoMA seems to reflect the current dark age of the present--modernism not as progressive present but a historical lost past.
