SUBISM, DAHRA (Designers Against Human Rights Abuse) 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 | Follow the project on Twitter | More information on Maggies
During the 2004 biennial in Liverpool, Banksy put up a large scale mural painting of his infamous rat on the exterior wall of a run down pub in Liverpool.
In December 2008, when the pub owner decided to put the property up for sale, it was valuated by real estate agents to have it’s original estimated sale value doubled (from £495,000 to approximately £1 million) due to the Banksy Rat painting on the exterior wall (view our post on this here). Two years later, this building has finally been sold to a property developer for £114,000. With no interest in art, the property developer now intends to remove the large scale mural.

What would you do with this blank wall? Have your say and spark debate. If you’re a street artist, aged 11-25, and would like to paint this space as a part of the Counted project, The Roundhouse want to know. You can peep the brief after the jump…
As Eelus gears up for his show ‘The Colour Out of Space‘, here’s a sneak peek at one of the works entitled ‘Firestarter’ heading into the exhibition. We like.
