"Art of Football" by Nike


We at Unite cannot help the fact two out of three of us love "football." Soccer, not pigskin chucking.

With the recent beginnings of the 2008 European Championships, most of the world regardless of geographic location is most likely tuned in to watch some of the best national talents outside of the World Cup. In accordance with the belief that art and football go hand in hand, Nike 1/1 was created to converge football and art together in a series of visual presentations. Providing the power of curation in the hands of Nick Knight, Knight and 5 other artists would becoming the founding members of the Nike 1/1 project which debuted in Milan back in April. The debut also included 11 new contributing artists. However, a sense of interactivity was brought in as budding artists from around the world contributed their own visions of football and art with a further 11 artists chosen. Now showing in Paris, the Art of Football Exhibition features 26 pieces of football inspired art in a showcase wrapping up on the 17th of June.
