This site-specific game, designed by the artist collective YKON charts connections between diverse utopian pursuits and practices, with an emphasis on the 'practical utopia'. The workshop, which will be followed by an evening of screenings and conversation, is the first event in a more long-running investigation and pursuit to map, bring together and extend current utopian thought and practice developed between YKON, Electra and Drugo More.

Toxic is a new film installation by Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz co-commissioned by Electra together with Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers and La Triennale (Paris, 2012). The project draws on the artists' ongoing interest in the 'Theatre of the Ridiculous' - performances by Jack Smith, scripts and films by Ronald Tavel, in late 1960s New York which formulated an anarchic and outrageous critique of capitalism and the normalisation of bodies. In the work, Boudry/Lorenz have worked in close collaboration with Ginger Brooks Takahashi and Werner Hirsch in a performative exploration of the toxic, and toxicity. Electra will present the first UK solo exhibition by Boudry/Lorenz, including this new commission at the South London Gallery, Winter 2012/13.
