JOSÉ LUIS CUEVAS WINS HONORABLE MENTION: BLURB INTERNATIONAL PHOTO BOOK COMPETITION
Sà sÃ. José Luis Cuevas won Honorable Mention at Blurb’s International Photo Book Competition. There were almost 2,500 entries from all over the world, and so we are celebrating at Tóxico… José Luis started working his fabulous “Average Man” series into a book during the Tóxico Workshop by Amy Stein, and it was Amy who let us all know about Blurb’s competition.
Take a look at the rest of his series here and here.
(And a few new projects to come between José Luis and Tóxico. Updates soon, on the Toxi-blog.)

Información de la conferencia pública muy pronto.
AMY STEIN IN MEXICO CITY! (INFO FOR PEOPLE LIVING ABROAD)
The fantastic photographer Amy Stein will be giving a Tóxico Workshop in Mexico City from June 17 – June 23, in English.
Today we received a couple of emails from photographers and artists from living in other countries, asking if it is possible to attend.
Yes! We always have a couple of places for international guests; quite a few people have flown in for different Tóxico workshops.
And flights to Mexico City and hotels are cheaper than ever, and the city is as delirious and fantastic as always.
If you require more info please write to info@toxicocultura.com. We will also be glad to help with hotel arrangements, depending on your budget.

OVERHEARD AT TÓXICO: CHRISTOFFER BOE

On cinematic desires
“The internal dynamic of film always start with a hint of desire: something is wanted. Even if it is the faintest wanting, or even if it is the need of a want. Because some of the greatest movies are based on characters that don’t desire anything, but do want to desire something. Or they wanted something once and don’t want it any more. The presence of a desire is essential to movies, and to each scene, and to a character. It is also the way I work best with actors: in our mutual understanding of the desires that drive each moment. Instead of telling an actor to be funny you tell him: you want to make her laugh, you want her to love you with her laughter. It is a completely different thing, giving concrete wishes to people instead of generic instructions. In this there is also contrasts, and undercurrents. In every scene there is a desire, and a contrast to the desire: something is working against it, underneath it. The movie also wants and desires. The movie wants to portray a beautiful woman. We need a desire for the movie, a desire for the camera, and then we need to invent obstacles for them visually, to keep the need for enigma and the need of discovery playing with one another.”
TÓXICO WORKSHOP AND LECTURE AT INSTITUTO EUROPEO DEL DISEÑO, BARCELONA
Arriving in Barcelona. In one of those weird states of absurd happiness from both extreme jet-lag and giddy other-placeness, everything slightly (nicely) unhinged.
The Tóxico Workshop goes on for all of next week and, in brief, will be about multidisciplinary and slightly intoxicated creative processes. The lecture will be about our projects, plus the ideas and beliefs that move us. This last one is open to the general public: do come by if you are in town.
