In Summer 2008 SHOWstudio partnered with Nike to challenge established and emerging artists, designers and creatives to devise new work inspired by the relationship between art and football. A team of 11 selected artists from around the world, including Gareth Pugh, Sølve Sundsbø and Rebecca & Mike created new work, alongside 11 finalists selected from world-wide competition entrants.
Finalist: Danielle Mudd
A massive part of football is the team spirit. An array of completely different characters coming togther in support of the same thing.
My idea would see the creation of a team of different characters, made up of a mixture of handmade plush toys and cardboard character cut-outs, posing together for their team photo.
The variety of characters illustrates how football does a fantastic job of bringing together a diverse mix people and characters from all walks of life, all working towards the same goal.
