	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.
