This is a text about the art show Utopolis, which took place in Caracas shortly after Hugo Chavez fired the directors of 18 cultural institutions
Concebida como la primera edición de un evento de confrontación, promovido y patrocinado por Movilnet, le corresponde a Utópolis estrenar el arribo oficial de la “revolución” a los museos y quedar atrapada en la turbulencia de aquellos días.
Such a strange phrase: "oppositional" "contrarian"??
