| Interview with Laura Huxley by Bruce Eisner |
 >
Laura Huxley, wife of the late Aldous Huxley, for whose novel Island Group is named was interviewed by Bruce Eisner. It was a crisp day in late November 1993 that I made my way up the maze-like roads to Laura Huxley's house, perched high in the Hollywood hills. I spent a delightful three hours there and I believe that the following interview is of utmost significance for members of Island Group. Laura Huxley is the founder of Our Ultimate Investment. She wrote: You are Not the Target (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), Between Heaven and Earth (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), This Timeless Moment (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Mercury House), and The Child of Your Dreams with Pierro Ferucci (47.00) |
| Utopia: The Search for the Ideal Society in the Western World |
|
“The notion of an ideal society, one organized in ways that guarantee the felicity of its members, has been a staple element in human experience through all of recorded history. The details of this society - where and when it exists, how one gets to it, how it is governed, who lives in it, the ramifications of its existence - can, and do, vary radically, producing the broadest possible set of answers to the question of what constitutes the ideal.
This exhibition traces how women and men have, over the
space of several thousand years of Western culture,
imagined, depicted, described, and created new versions of ideal societies. It seeks to show as well that the history of these places is inseparable from the histories of the people, cultures, and periods that gave birth to them. For each individual dream is really the refracted image of a specific moment in time, an imaginary construct in which specific problems of the concrete world are resolved and happiness - that most elusive of goals - is attained.
