IVA KNOBLOCH
AMERICAN UTOPIA AND EUROPEAN REALITY: EXPO 39 IN NEW YORK
The World’s Fair in New York, subtitled The World of Tomorrow, concluded the pre-war exhibitionist euphoria. It was the most expensive and grandest exhibition endeavor that aimed to dazzle the world with an American vision of prosperity, technological advancement, and social harmony against the backdrop of expanding Nazism and Communism. The Czechoslovak pavilion, which involved Ladislav Sutnar, became the first crack in the American utopia, as did Salvador Dalí's subversive pavilion Dream of Venus. Iva Knobloch, an expert on Ladislav Sutnar from UPM in Prague, will include new findings from American archives in her lecture, made possible by a Fulbright scholarship.
