A glimpse on contemporary culture

What is this all about?

Metropolis is a fanzine, a curatorial concept, an artistic hub, a wannabe art gallery.

It’s an ongoing project with no labels nor boundaries. 

Metropolis is a space of freedom where everybody engages with creativity in their own way. 

In our view, the ultimate meaning of the artistic practice is to stimulate critical thinking and foster social progress.
Art must raise questions rather than give answers for it has the power to open minds and inspire people. 

Social engagement through art is our mission. Storytellers and jesters our masters. Beauty our sacred value. Sharing ideas our final purpose.

Do you want to start collecting art? Good idea! Here’s a piece of advice for you DB Waterman is an illustrator, photographer, collage and mixed media artist from Netherlands. She has developed a personal techniques in realising her collages mixing multiple media and languages. She is able to blend together photography, painting and typography and she creates timeless scene where past, present and future intertwined. TBT: I was thinking about my first big exhibition “Selling the shadow” at C-Gallery Milan. I spent the three months period of the show sitting across this amazing work by Tony Gum. I have been so lucky! "The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands must be the Heart". “My work has always a theatrical component. My illustrations are staged tragicomedies for objects performed by actors”. “Choosing to be apolitical in times of political and moral turmoil is a political act rooted in privilege”. Art is a powerful tool that can drive social progress. We believe that artists have the responsibility of addressing societal issues in their work and we, as gallerists, have the responsibility to support them.
