“Radicalising the Community since 2002”
The Treatment Rooms HQ is the working studio for one of the UK’s leading
eccentric anarchic artists Carrie Reichardt; along with a multi-talented
group of artistic friends, collaborators and creative associates.
A stolen door sign from Hackney Mental Asylum 20 years ago gave birth to
a small and slightly unhinged family of like-minded artistic individuals
who fused together a passion for expressing activism through art. This
rebellious band of renegade siblings eventually came to be known as… The
Treatment Rooms Collective
Ten years on, they have a diverse group of committed Treatment Room
Members, each radicalising their own communities, ranging from
incarcerated political prisoners in Louisiana to Street Artists in
Argentina.
Their previous projects include:
The Tiki Love Truck
A mobile mosaiced mausoleum made as a shrine to their friend, executed
Texan prisoner John Joe ‘Ash’ Amador
402
A thought provoking exhibition following one Man’s journey onto the Gurney.
Death Row Peep Show
A surreal and emotionally stimulating art installation at Glastonbury
Festival
And lest we forget, the world famous ‘Ceramic House of Resistance’ the
amazing ancestral birth place of The Treatment Rooms, Carries very own
intricately mosaiced home.
Be warned, however taking a trip into The Treatment Rooms HQ may change
your life forever!
The artwork produced in the studio thrusts into view a reality which
some may find difficult to digest – it's contentious, subversive and
specifically designed to promote the viewer to rise up against corrupt
establishment activity.
