    Journal Article

    In 2005-06 an exhibition in New York focusing on Russian art featured the installation work 'The man who flew into space from his apartment' (1981-88; illus.) by Ilya Kabakov. The work can be seen as a commentary on individual aspiration in the age of space travel, and by imagining the work as one piece in an exhibition of works from Soviet Russia all examining the concept of utopia in some way Kabakov's work can be seen as conveying the idea that the utopian is a repeating but unrealizable and unrepresentable historical theme.
