Greece: “Our Present Is Your Future”! Special pre-tour screening in CARDIFF, Tuesday, May 15 2012

As we move closer to finishing nearly two hours of films on the Greek resistance sending shockwaves around the world, we present a special pre-tour screening in Cardiff on Tuesday, May 15th.

This is your first chance to see footage from the occupied workplaces that have been on strike all year, from the occupied hospitals where doctors and other health workers are taking militant action to stop the destruction of the health service, from the neighbourhood assemblies self-organising in the communities and from the many other groups taking direct action against austerity.

The final versions of all the films will be ready by the start of June – as will details of the tour in June and July. If you want to arrange a screening in your locality, get in touch.

Tuesday May 15th, 6:30pm

Slag – New show opening at The Treatment Rooms Collective HQ

SLAG!!!

Following its uber successful Xmas show (Taking Liberties), The Treatment Rooms Collective HQ, is proud to announce its new valentines special exhibiton ‘SLAG.’

The event will be held at Carrie Reichardt’s studios ……. 199 Acton Lane, Chiswick W4 5DA, every Fri/Sat/Sun 12-6pm until Feb 26th.

The usual suspects from Mutoid Waste, Mutate Britain and The Treatment Rooms Collective will be exhibiting their work, alongside some surprise guests.

A female heavy show, the window display is an amazing piece of outsider art. Made by a ‘Recycling Fairy’, it is a composition of hundreds of found objects, toys and dolls made to create the Goddess Kali with babies gushing from her blood red vulva. Not your typical shop window for Chiswick! But then The Treatment Rooms HQ is getting used to visits from the local law enforcement officers for causing a visual disturbance.

This show (as ever) gives art enthusiasts the rare opportunity to view eclectic and original artwork made by some of the top underground/outsider/lowbrow artists. Chances like this rarely come along, so make the effort to come down.

All artwork can be bought direct from the artists. 80% of the profits go direct to them; the other 20% is donated to REEL NEWS. Big thank you again to all the artists for helping us generate some much needed cash.
