Libido and revolution are not so strange bedfellows in New York-based Edinburgh expat Beloff’s first solo show in Scotland, in which imaginary worlds collide in two complementary takes on utopia. In ‘Dreamland’, Beloff mines the archive of the Coney Island Psychoanalytic Society and Its Circle, reimagining its founder Albert Grass’ extravagant vision of a Freud-inspired theme-park for the mind that the Brooklyn-based fun palace could have become if its own pleasure principle had been unleashed. Beyond comic books and assorted ephemera, films of the Society’s members’ dreams are shown, while a model of Grass’ proposed design incorporating a giant figure of a young girl as Libido is at its centre.

Upstairs, ‘The Days of the Commune’ finds Beloff putting Brecht’s 1948 play about the Paris Commune on the streets and in the moment via a series of filmed stagings involving a non-professional public that included supporters of the Wall Street Occupy movement. Both sections are glorious flipsides of a dream-state Shangri-la that both reclaims hidden histories and looks to brighter futures in what really is another world.

Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, until Sat 16 Feb.
