When friends move to london and put the call out to come and Bomb their house, how can you resist. Had a lot of fun yesterday painting a felix’s flat, even got the sickboy out to join in the fun.
Sickboy had a shot a little film of this throw up, you can probably see it here when its finished.
Thanks to every one who came to the sovereign yesterday, it was great fun and we raised a stack of cash…final figures are not in…everyone was a bit tipsy in the end. The money will all go to help fight this ludicrous court case.
Just a reminder that i have some new original works and some older works being raffled on:
SUNDAY 12th FEB FROM 2.30pm THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN, CLAPTON 64 Northwold Rd, E5 8RL.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago here that we are holding a fundraiser for a friend Patrizia, an Italian activist’s legal fees fighting a proscecution for seeking the truth about a death in the cells in Peruga Italy.
They will be stalls selling second hand stuff, kids stuff, collectables and general tat as well as a raffle where you can win original works.
Slag opens tonight, an anti Valentine show with Carrie Reichardt at the wheel, backed by various Mutoid associates , Nick Reynolds et al. The event will be held at Carrie Reichardt’s studios ……. 199 Acton Lane, Chiswick W4 5DA.
If you didn’t make it down before Christmas…You got to see this shop! Mental nick-nacks sit next to twisted dolls in an anarchist shop in… Chiswick, yes, I know, trust me its a weird afternoon out with a lot of affordable stuff for sale. Heres a sample of what the press said: ” Jesus christ what a whopper of a shop” Daily Mail on Sunday. ” Fuck me i couldn’t believe the bargains” The Sunday Times.
One of a number of new works made for the valentines show “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, on Friday the 3rd of February 6pm – Late.
Half the Jackson 5 edition left Dotmasters HQ this morning, so if you bought one expect it in the coming days. There are still 19 left so if you were left short by the excess of Christmas there is still some time to get one. You can get them here. Response to the Funny Money series has been amazing and i thank you all for your continued support. This will be last one for a while as i am working on a new body of work for a show coming later in the late spring as well as a new print release that people have been requesting for some time, stay tuned for details…may even manage to make it coincide with valentines day.
Raffle prize
In repressive regimes (usually the regimes western governments convince us to invade) the first loss of liberty is the freedom of speech. The first signifiers of a repressive regime are deaths in the cells.
My friend Patrizia Cirino has been accused of slander over the italian police’s detention and the subsequent death of Aldo Bianzino in Perugia. She has not accused anyone, she has only asked for information concerning the events that led up to Aldo’s death. She is being prosecuted over this request for information, a lone woman of limited means against the state. Of course this means she will have to fight the case through their machine, the courts. This will cost a large amount of money and it is for this reason we are holding a fund raising event on the:
SUNDAY 12th FEB FROM 2.30pm THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN, CLAPTON 64 Northwold Rd, E5 8RL
I have donated several works for the raffle, unique works on aluminum. There will be all sorts of prizes and stalls, hopefully we can raise some funds to fight this case and get justice for both Aldo and Patrizia.
Raffle prize
A good friend of mine has recently been accused of slander by the italian prison guards authority (italian state). Her crime? Asking for information about the death of Aldo Bianzino
In 2007, Aldo Bianzino a carpenter in Perugia Italy was arrested for growing a few marijuana plants, he was taken into custody, where 2 days later he was found dead in his prison cell. NO, EXPLANATION, OR DETAILS HAVE EVER BEEN RELEASED! My friend, Patrizia Cirino an artist and activist, has been campaigning for information about Aldo’s death and is being accused of slander by the Italian authorities . Her crime? Simply wanting the truth. Help her get it and fight a possible 3 year sentence and win justice for Aldo.
Some like minded friends are putting together a fund raising event, i will be donating several items of art for the raffle and trying to get other artist friends to do the same. If you want to donate something or enter the raffle or simply find out about our cause come down to THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN, CLAPTON SUNDAY 12th FEB FROM 2.30pm 64 Northwold Rd, E5 8RL
