	UTOPIA at the Whitechapel

	4-5 December 2005

	

	In our current cultural and political climate Utopia has become a brand

	name, as common on the international art circuit as on the pages of fashion

	magazines. This unique and diverse series of six screening-events, each

	taking place over two days, explores artists’ film and video as an organ of

	social change, questioning Utopia's value, exploring its limitations,

	reinventing modes of engagement.

	

	UTOPIA 1: URSULA BIEMANN / PERFORMING BORDERS

	

	Ursula Biemann's work explores actual, psychological and engendered border

	territories, extending to a redefinition of boundaries by the physical

	movement of women and their daily lives.

	

	Saturday 4 December 2004, at 3pm

	

	Performing the Border, Ursula Biemann, 1999, 45mins

	Remote Sensing, Ursula Biemann, 2001, 54mins

	Europlex, Ursula Biemann with Angela Sanders, 2003, 20mins

	

	This trilogy explores the technological industries of Cuidad Juarez on the

	US/Mexican border, the global sex trade, and the smuggling circuits of the

	Spanish/Morrocan border. Beginning in the Whitechapel auditorium, each video

	will be subsequently shown in venues that take the audience out of the

	gallery and through the streets of the East End, accompanied by a travelling

	conversation initiated at each site by Ursula Biemann, activist and

	collaborator Helena Maleno and a disparate group of politically and socially

	active women based in London. The passivity of viewing becomes a physical

	experience.

	Sunday 5 December 2005, at 3pm

	

	Paralelo 36, José Luis Tirado, Spain 2004, 65mins

	Frontera Sur, Alex Muñoz & Helena Maleno, Spain 2003, 13mins

	

	Frontera Sur examines the economic apartheid and spatial segregation of

	immigrants in the plastic world of Almería, Spain. Paralelo 36 describes an

	astonishing new map of the Southern European border. Radically combining

	fact and fiction, its collection of micronarratives, gestures, words, dreams

	and desires redefines the 36th parallel as an imaginary line and the site of

	clandestine emigration across the Gibraltar Strait.  Programmed and

	presented by Helena Maleno.

	

	

	This event has been co-organised by Emma Hedditch,

	with thanks to Pablo Lafuente.
