Palace of Projects is the artists' utopian archive of ideas and stories told by fictional Soviet citizens. These 65 projects, or visionary plans, include models, paintings, and writings that propose remedies and suggestions for facing the challenges of daily life, and for improving our environment and personal growth. The artworks encapsulate ordinary people's dreams, neuroses, ideals, problems, and obsessions – providing visitors with glimpses of intimate moments that have universal resonance.
