Tõnis Vint’s Vision for Naissaar Island: An Extraterritorial Utopia Zone of the Transition Era

Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on a conceptual vision for Naissaar Island (1992–1996) by Tõnis Vint in the context of the public sphere in the making. The project may be seen as an intersection of a conceptual utopia and a pursuit of actual social intervention. The article considers the project in the context of the artist’s creative output in general, as well as in relation to contemporary international economic policies and trends, and the New Age ideology, highlighting the incoherence and ambivalence characteristic of the transition period.
