WHAT are the elements of a truly happy life? A new art installation in Bridgwater aims to help people consider the problem…

Utopian Chemistry is a unique pharmacy and pop-up art instillation that will be taking over a shop at the Angel Place Shopping Centre from May 15 to 17 and 22 to 24.

Features the art piece, A Periodic Table of a Feasible Utopia, created by David Goldblatt, the installation asks, ‘What are the elements of the good life?’

The periodic table consists of more than 100 A4 framed elements, including Lo (Love), Ce (Clean Energy) and Rk (Random Kindness).

Visitors taking it in are asked – by pharmacy workers in suitable white coats – if they think anything is missing.

Should they say yes, they can add their suggestion to a second ‘people’s’ periodic table, created by visitors throughout the installation.

Everyone who suggests a missing element receives a print out of their suggestion, which is also added to the evolving people’s table.

Utopian Chemistry was first created in November 2023 at an empty shop in The Galleries in central Bristol, running for 15 days and visited by more than 1,000 people.

The installation will be open from 11am to 4pm from May 15 to 17 and again between May 22 and 24.
