"Lion VS Gorilla, in partnership with the Hairpin Arts Center, is proud to announce the opening of the group show for 'Crystal Palaces in Cockaigne,' an art show and mini-exposition on utopias. In the spirit of the medieval myth of Cockaigne, which imagines an ideal land of endless ease, luxury, health, and hedonistic pleasure, this show features work by established and emerging artists on idiosyncratic, futuristic, transhuman, and personal visions of utopias."
