Rob Carter’s ‘Metropolis’ is a quirky and very abridged narrative history of the city of Charlotte, NC. Made entirely from images printed on paper, the animation literally represents a speeded-up urban planners’ dream, but suggests the frailty of that dream, continuing the city development into an imagined hubristic future. It is an extreme representation of the already serious water shortages that face many expanding American cities today; but this is less a warning, as much as a statement of our paper-thin significance no matter how many monuments of steel, glass and concrete we build

Jan Švankmajer (born 4 September 1934 in Prague) is a Czech surrealist artist. His work spans several media. He is known for his surreal animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, The Brothers Quay and many others.
Švankmajer has gained a reputation over several decades for his distinctive use of stop-motion technique, and his ability to make surreal, nightmarish and yet somehow funny pictures. He is still making films in Prague.

FLUXO SUPPORTS:

DAHRA (Designers Against Human Rights Abuse), Subism and an editorial team led by Garrick Webster have teamed together to create a new project entitled Memories in aid of Maggie’s Centres, a UK based cancer charity.

Maggie’s centres can be found in various hospitals across the UK and offer advice, support and counselling to those who are suffering from cancer and their families. It is their fundamental belief that the healing process goes beyond that of just medical treatments and it is this holistic approach that led their London centre to win the British Sterling Prize in 2009 (Britain’s best building).
Memories is honoured to support such a worthwhile charity and the work they do through creating a book that comprises of 12 personal accounts of peoples’ experience with cancer and 144 wonderful pieces of art based on these. However, unlike previous projects, 24 of these pieces are being left open to Open Submissions, with the best 24 entries being featured in the book and subsequent exhibition. Those entries that unfortunately do not make it into the book will be featured online as we appreciate all the time and effort you put in, but unfortunately to budgetary constraints we can only select 24.

To enter the open submissions and for a copy of the brief please email: memories@subism.co.uk

For more information on the project, to keep up to date with all the behind the scenes work feel free to check out their blog:
