OPOLIS: A Comix Fluxture

“A street plan of Opolis, an imaginary city, will be laid out on the floor of the Flux main space. Individual city blocks will be assigned to individual cartoonists. These cartoonists will design the buildings and environments that will fill the city blocks (apartment buildings, libraries, factories, zoos, museums, slums, prisons, etc), and will invent characters to populate these environments. Cartoonists will be expected to create the work in such a way that as the viewer walks around the block, the buildings (or images in or on the buildings) will function as panels that resolve into a story. Additionally, cartoonists must designate at least one of the characters from their story as available for common use, thus creating a community of characters that will reappear in various stories all over Opolis…”
