EUKARYOTE is pleased to host “U.F.F.U,” an exhibition collaboratively curated by Manos, Shared Praxis, and {}, on view from Saturday, May 10 to Sunday, June 1, 2025.

Utopia Feeling Feeding Utopia, is an immersive exhibition that delves into the paradoxical nature of community and isolation in con- temporary society. It examines the fluid identities formed in the liminal spaces be- tween sharing and ownership, where authorship and authority are continually re- defined. The exhibition explores how feelings of belonging and alienation coexist within the collective consciousness, mani- festing as both utopian aspirations and dystopian realities.

The exhibition investigates how individuals navigate public identities in communal settings while grappling with personal feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Through Shared Experiences vs. Personal Narratives, the artists highlight the tension between collective experiences and individual stories, illustrating how per- sonal narratives contribute to, yet sometimes conflict with, the communal fabric. Navigating the Present vs. Presence and Temporal Displacement, The artists here assembled explore the distinction between being physically present and feeling truly engaged or connected in a digital age characterized by constant distractions.

Amidst Ephemeral Connections we examine how fleeting interactions and transient connections impact our sense of belonging and presence in shared spaces.

Authorship and Authority is repositioned as Fragmented forces of Authorship (Roland Barthes), Reflecting on how multiple voices contribute to and challenge notions of authority, owDership, and authenticity in art and society.

Through this project we would like to Consider how the balance between authority and personal autonomy shapes public discourse and personal identity as we traverse Liminal Spaces and bare the Thresholds of Interaction.

U.F.F.U. Focuses on the artwork in the context of spaces where community and solitude intersect, such as urban environments, digital platforms, and cultural in- situations.
