When did the project start and why?

LARC was conceived as an idea by a group of friends in early 1999. Most of us had a history of involvement in direct action from the anti-roads movement, through Reclaim the Streets, to the Carnival against Capitalism June 18th 1999 and we had come to feel that the one-off spectacular actions weren't enough to build the 'creative alternatives' we often talked about in our agit-prop. Along side this we were increasingly fed-up with relying on meeting in, or being chucked out from, rooms in pubs or community centres and having our offices in someones spare room.

Many of us also had a history of squatting, both for social centres and to solve our own housing needs, and as the police repression following demonstrations escalated and squatting became increasingly difficult, we wanted to create a safe space and resource for London's direct action groups.

Because of London's size, we've always faced the problems of having a social movement that is very dispersed. Therefore we hoped that LARC could go beyond simply being a building with resources, to being a catalyst for the different direct action groups in London to meet face to face, to discuss ideas and strategies together and to build up new affinity networks. It was (and still is) our aim that LARC would contribute to strengthening Londons and UKs direct action networks.

As LARC is legally owned and seen as 'respectable' (or at least harder to evict), one aim is also that it will work as a gateway for people into direct action politics.

The Cube is a Microplex Cinema and venue in Central Bristol. UK.

The Cube Microplex, for the past 9 years has played host to an astounding set of entertaining activities and is run by a crack group of voluntary artists-workers-enthusiasts. It once was a theatre, avant garde 70's art centre and second run family cinema. It now occupies a place of it own making.

The Cube Cinema, founded in 1998, at 4 Kings Square, Kingsdown, Bristol, England, was originally a hand built theatre and DIY amateur dramatics are its life blood still. It's run by a proper left field oddball crew, against the odds (and the bland), with a near continuous stream of films, events, activities and music pouring out of every nook and cranny. The Cube works hard at presenting cinema (35, 16, Super 8, Video and Digital), music (acoustic, electric and half amped), Burlesque in full 3D, discussions, secret and overt community groups and the full on ARTS.

The Cube monthly programme is a big old pig-bag of nearly everything you can cram into a small cinema. 5000 of these colourful and coded leaflets spread around the world. You might not know of the Cube, as it is a little venue, on the other-hand you might be aware of its bad reputation (!?!) or rumours of its open creative struggles. You might want to know how the Cube defines 'cult cinema' or how to get involved or if The Cube might book your band. What does go on in the microplex? Well everything kind of lies together, snugly or disarmingly nonsensically.

LUX 28, at 28 Shacklewell Lane, Dalston is a new temporary LUX exhibition space presenting a year-long investigation into how artists’ films and videos are made, discussed and collected. LUX 28’s programme will be focused around a series of hosted collections, in which other organisations and artists will present their own archives onsite in the form of video libraries, screenings, talks and other events. The aim is to explore not only the works these collections contain, but the rationales which have brought them together in the first place.
