Background :
Nike have instigated a new creative initiative which is being curated by Nick Knight at SHOWstudio (http://www.showstudio.com/)
It’s to do with artists expressing themselves through football – and producing football inspired artwork. Nick Knight has put together a team of 11 associate artists who will all themselves produce a piece of football inspired artwork – these include AREA3 ( http://www.area3.net), Joel Tettamanti (http://www.tettamanti.ch/) and Dominic Wilcox (http://www.dominicwilcox.com/).
The project will be based around a website where such artwork will be showcased, and where emerging designers, illustrators and visual artists from across Europe will be invited to create their own piece of work inspired by football and upload it to the site. Nick Knight and his 11 associates will then select a shortlist of artists who have created football inspired artwork to have their work showcased at the Art Basel event in Switzerland (http://www.artbasel.com) later this year and as part of a related book. An overall selected creative will then be invited to collaborate with Nick Knight on a limited edition pair of Nike Dunks.
So if you want to have a go, headc over to Nike website : www.nike1-1.co.uk
Anyway, here's my attempt. It's about the polarization of views surrounding football. And yes, I did ask alot of people. Since I know nothing of football!
