Nimble, continuously surprising... looking beyond its traditional geographic infatuations, diving into fields too little researched and putting its standard narrative of 20th-century art and design under constructive pressure.--Jason Farago New York Times Above all, the exhibition reminds us that design can be a tool of social progress.--Justin McGuirk New Yorker This exceptionally designed show succeeds in distilling the architectural legacy of a country best known, in and outside of it, for falling apart.--Roko Rumora Hyperallergic The architecture that emerged -- from International Style skyscrapers to Brutalist 'social condensers'-- is a manifestation of the radical diversity, hybridity, and idealism that characterized the Yugoslav state itself.--Blouin Art Info

A manifestation of radical diversity, hybridity, and idealism that characterized the Yugoslav state iself.-- ""Blouin Art Info"" Above all, the exhibition reminds us that design can be a tool of social progress.--Justin McGuirk ""New Yorker"" Abundance of beautifully hung and arranged drawings, photographs, and models of striking, and in some cases downright bizarre, buildings and monuments.--Josephine Minutillo ""Architectural Record"" Astonishing structures surge with unchecked emotions of agony, sacrifice, loss and rememberance.--Julie V. Iovine ""Wall Street Journal"" Documents how buildings and the architects behind them contribute to the modernization and social cohering of a historically multiethnic region.--Theodossis Issaias ""Metropolis"" From housing blocks to a rural mosque, ponder marker of unity and individualism from a now-vanished postwar building culture.-- ""Art Newspaper"" Highlighting a significant yet thus-far understudied body of modernist architecture, whose forward-thinking contributions still resonate today.-- ""The Architects Newspaper"" Highlights architecture's role in creating a common history and collective identity of a socialist state.--Sofia Lekka Angelopoulou ""Designboom"" Tells one of the most underappreciated stories of postwar architecture: the rise of avant-garde government buildings, pie-in-the-sky apartment blocks, mod beachfront resorts and even whole new cities in the southeast corner of Europe.--Jason Farago ""New York Times"" The great achievement of Yugoslavia was in being able to keep collectivism and individualism in some kind of balance.--Justin McGuirk ""The New Yorker"" These otherwordly constructions were instrumental in shaping Yugoslavia's national identity.--Joanna Fu ""Hypebeast"" This exceptionally designed show succeeds in distilling the architectural legacy of a country best known, in and outside of it, for falling apart.--Roko Rumora ""Hyperallergic"" What struck me most about this long-overdue examination was that, despite economic limita-tions and the dominance of Communist Bloc aesthetics, extraordinary creativity and diversity persisted-attributes that feel in conspicuously short supply even within today's increasingly privatized milieu.-- ""Artforum"" Yugoslavia's unique position anticipated the current age of globalism, and studying its architecture will tell us more about postwar modernity than the tired old histories do.-- ""PIN-UP""
