The reflection on this aspect in art has almost always required thinking of architecture as a discipline that mediates between language and the materialization of possible scenarios in which human life unfolds. In this sense, the work of the Utopía group, the artistic collective formed by Fabio Antonio Ramírez, Jorge Mario Gómez, and Ana Patricia Gómez, which introduced the language of architectural projection into Colombian art, has accounted for various historical, sociological, and formal tensions between these two disciplines.
This exhibition sought to help recognize the work that the group of architects carried out over the last three decades and invited viewers to position themselves in the interstice opened by their work, which alludes to possible worlds through plastic speculations inherent to the language of art*.
