Abstract
Abstract: Dutch artist Jonas Staal explores the double character of utopia in his works, which are often political acts. On the one hand he works the issues related to the “totalitarian” aspect of perfect society, as we can see in a fictional tradition since Plato and Thomas Morus. On the other hand he his works are about the possibility of occupying this utopian space, but as the artistic practice understood as experience eminently opposed to any institutional and societal control. In this paper I clain that the idea of utopia are very close of the dystopian one, and the Staal’s work of art are a kind of permanent dystopic way to occupy the non-place of utopia. Key-words: Utopia, dystopia, art, Jonas Staal, politics
