Part of the acclaimed Documents of Contemporary Art series of anthologies which collect writing on major themes and ideas in contemporary art.

Utopian projects aspire to a better world but their forms may only ever live in our imaginations. Furthermore, we are as haunted by their failures as we are inspired by the aspiration to repair the failed and build the new. This anthology contextualizes art's current engagement with the utopian in relation to political thought, viewing the utopian as a key term in the artistic lineage of modernity. It illuminates how the exploration of utopian themes in art today contributes to our understanding of contemporary cultures and the possibilities for shaping their futures.

Gentle Moisturizing Toner
Scent: Original, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I rely on bed baths for staying clean, due to severe physical disability. This product is a mainstay in my grooming routine. I use it on my face and all over my body. It is very gentle and provides moisturization, as well. The scent is quite subtle, and does not bother my chemical sensitivities.

I’m enjoying it!
I’ve really been enjoying this moisturizer so far. It feels lightweight, comfortable, and absorbs nicely into the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. I also love that it is fragrance free. My skin feels hydrated throughout the day, and it layers well with the rest of my skincare products. I also use the matching face wash and toner from this line, and together I’ve been very happy with the overall results. My skin has been looking smoother, healthier, and more balanced since incorporating these products into my routine. One important thing to note is that this moisturizer does not contain SPF or sun protection, so make sure to apply a separate sunscreen during the day if that’s important for your skincare routine. Overall, I think this is a great everyday moisturizer and I’ll continue using it.

Lightweight moisturizer, worth it.
Love it! Its lightweight and silky. Makes my skin feel hydrated and smooth. I apply after cleansing my face..can't say if it actually provides 80hr moisture. So far so good. Would repurchase.
