Svankmajer blends the perverse, the macabre and the child-like into an ammusingly unapetising soup of irrationality. He is a Czech surrealist animator, famous for bringing Alice and the Jaberwocky to life through Stop Motion, but rarely do we get to see his superb shorts on the cinema screen. Tonight, as part of Catriona Maddock's art preview, we show 5 of them including Ossuary and Food. Catriona Maddocks show in the bar delves into surreal anthropomorphic transformation through some weird genetically modified furniture.
