THE PERIODIC TABLE OF A FEASIBLE UTOPIA

The Periodic Table of a Feasible Utopia is an artwork by David Goldblatt, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in the United Kingdom. Here, Goldblatt brings together 90 elements that combine to form a vision of his utopia, presented in the format of the more commonly-known periodic table of elements.

Feasible Utopia challenges us to brainstorm and visualize what the elements of a "better" world really look like. The artwork is exhibited at Utopia Chemistry, a shop/gallery opened by Goldblatt in Bristol, UK, where visitors can contribute their personal utopian elements. Learn more at www.feasibleutopias.org.
