DESCRIPTION:"5 Factories–Worker Control in Venezuela"\n\nKaren Bennett, Clif Ross, 
 and Christene DeJong from the Berkeley Art Museum will be on hand to 
 discuss the presentation of Oliver Ressler's work there in 2006.\nPlus Ann 
 Robertson and Gabriel Cabrera of Hands Off Venezuela\n\nOliver Ressler is 
 an artist doing projects on various socio-political themes. Since 1994 he 
 has been concerned with theme specific exhibitions, projects in public 
 space, and videos on issues of racism, migration, genetic engineering, 
 economics, forms of resistance and social alternatives. The films 
 "Venezuela from Below" and "5 Factories–Worker Control in Venezuela" made 
 with political analyst Dario Azzellini, will be screened on consecutive 
 evenings, with his most recent video "The Fittest Survive", accompanying 
 "Venezuela from Below" on January 31. \n\n*5 Factories–Worker Control in 
 Venezuela*\n*video – 2006 – 81 min.*\n*Dario Azzellini & Oliver 
 Ressler*\n\nIn their second film regarding political and social change in 
 Venezuela, after "Venezuela from Below" (67 min., 2004), Azzellini and 
 Ressler focus on the industrial sector in "5 Factories–Worker Control in 
 Venezuela". The protagonists portrayed at the five production locations 
 present insights into ways of alternative organizing and models of workers' 
 control. Mechanisms and difficulties of self-organization are explained as 
 well as the production processes. The portrayal of machine processes could 
 be seen as a metaphor for the dream machine of the "Bolivarian process", 
 and the hopes and desires it inspires among the workers. The situation in 
 the five factories varies, but they share the common search for better 
 models of production and life. This not only means concrete improvements 
 for the workers.\n\nFor more information on Oliver Ressler's work visit
