“The exhibition is pivotal in two ways,” said Kulić.“First, it intervenes in the canonical history of modern architecture by demonstrating that highly innovative achievements were not limited to the Western world. In that sense, the exhibition exposes the U.S. audience to a little known alternative modernity with its own architectural masterpieces."

“Second, the show also draws attention to architecture’s social responsibility and its potential to shape public space and collective memory – questions that are highly relevant in today’s political climate.”

It is the first major U.S. exhibition to study the remarkable body of work that sparked international interest during the 45 years of the country’s existence. “Toward a Concrete Utopia” will include more than 400 drawings, models, photographs, and film reels culled from an array of municipal archives, family-held collections, and museums across the region, introducing the exceptional built work of socialist Yugoslavia’s leading architects to an international audience for the first time.

“Dr. Kulic’s participation as co-curator of this important MoMA exhibition is a great honor for ������ý,” said , dean of the College for Design and Social Inquiry at ������ý. “His curatorial contributions around the world continue to raise the bar of professional and scholarly achievement, which adds immense value in the classroom and among fellow faculty.”

Kulić joined ������ý in 2008 and teaches courses in architectural history, theory and design. He specializes in architecture after World War II, modernism in Central and Eastern Europe, the global exchanges of architectural culture, and contemporary criticism.
