Line-Up Confirmed
All 40 projects have now been confirmed, and the countdown to create the work is well and truly on. Over the next 5 months the artists involved will be thinking, sketching, experimenting, making, doing and everything in between to come up with their final piece for the exhibition in January.
We’ll see installations, sculptures, moving image, books, posters and lots more besides before we start to fill the gallery at the beginning of 2010. From now on, this blog will document how all of the contributors are getting on, giving you a behind the scenes look at how things are coming together for the grand unveiling.
If you’d like to know more about the project, please drop us an e-mail on [email protected] and you can follow us on Twitter here.

Thorbjørn Ankerstjerne & Tuur Van Balen
Thorbjorn and Tuur are alpha-male-designers. Combining their passion for making things, they’re eager to explore how it feels to lose control over your body, how walking around with an old map can get you lost in the past and if rubbing the roof of your mouth with your tongue can really prevent a sneeze. It’s all about control and in this collaboration, they can’t both be in control all the time…
August 4th 2009
Andersen M Studio & LekaGape
We asked Andersen M (a still from one of their beautiful films pictured above) to be involved in the collaboration project a little while ago and at the end of last week they sent over there thoughtfully considered project proposal.
Andersen M will work with LekaGape, a private non-profit organization which cares about socially disadvantaged people in one of the poorest regions of South Africa. They will be creating posters with children from an orphanage in South Africa, which will be exhibited and sold at the exhibition with all money being donated to LekaGape. A truly worthwhile collaboration.

Fred Butler & No Days Off
Right, we’re down to the final few new pairing announcements… confirmed today is stylist extrodinarie Fred Butler and London design studio No Days Off. Stunningly different practices can only make for interesting outcomes. Above is a print by No Days Off and if you take a peek at Fred’s work you’ll see how different their work really is…
July 27th 2009
Matilda Tristram & Rafael Sommerhalder
Not many introductions to someone’s work involve a balloon attached to a recorder, but Matilda Tristram bucks that trend. I saw her delightfully whimsical work at the Royal College of Art a couple of years ago on the animation showreel and have been hooked ever since. Teaming up with equally gifted animator Rafael Sommerhalder they are sure to come up with something out of the ordinary.
July 23rd 2009
Praline & RSHP Modelshop
Cross-discipline collaborations are the one’s that are whetting my appetite for the upcoming exhibition the most, and here’s one such project proposal. Praline will be collaborating with the Model Shop at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. This experiment will be a coming together of their graphic approach and the Model Shop’s expertise in architectural 3D representation.
July 21st 2009
BCMH & Smith&Wightman;
Little update from Ben at BCMH to let us know that Luke from Smith&Wightman will also be getting in on their project (William Smith was already involved). What a nice excuse to post up a bit more of their fantastic work…
July 20th 2009
Jorre Van Ast & Damien Poulain
We’re getting very close to our final full line-up now and if the remaining ones have as much potential to shine as this one we’ll be very happy chaps.
In their own words product designer Jorre Van Ast from OK Studio and graphic designer Damien Poulain are going to “work on a joint idea we had meanwhile drinking tea at Jorre’s place. Jorre found a book on japanese cut-outs that was, for many years, hiding in his bookshelves. We both were really excited about this book and are sure that this is a good starting point for our collaborative project. Green tea and 3D craziness.”
Let the madness begin.
July 14th 2009
Rob Ryan & Michael Marriott
The pairings that always catch the eye and ignite the imagination the most are where disciplines are crossed. Rob Ryan is a world renowned illustrator and Michael Marriott is a fantastically experimental and natural product designer. So, the idea of them creating something together is always too much to wrap your head around. This one is going to be extra special.
July 13th 2009
Mario Hugo & Micah Lidberg
Another new pairing to announce and there’s nothing we like more than an open proposal…
Mario and Micah are separated by quite some distance - approximately 1760 kilometers. They plan on calling on the aid of the postal service to help them span the distance and create a grand accumulative drawing. The drawing will be pieced together with found paper and will document the ebb and flow of their whims.
Pictured is a recent piece of work by Mario for Daniel Ciardi.

Peace and Quiet
Ian and Riitta’s ‘Peace and Quiet’ proposal
We imagine a formalised autumn/winter collection of the time when we admitted that life was hard. We will craft artifacts that are without life yet are not dead.
‘Look at what the cat dragged in’
July 2nd 2009
Update from Jim and Andy
Jim sent over this very exciting sneak preview of the first drawings for his collaborative project with Andy Rementer. Still with about 5 months left and they’re already looking very good indeed.
July 1st 2009
Kam Tang & Wallzo
Two master craftsman make up our thirty-third partnership for the project - Kam Tang and Wallzo. Their proposal is titled ‘Cause and Effect’ and they’re setting out to combine shared influences and channel them through an unexpected medium. Ohhh mysterious.
June 29th 2009
Karlssonwilker & Frank DeRose
I remember seeing KarlssonWilker speak in New york about four years ago and have been a fan of their dry wit and design ever since. We are pleased to have them involved in this year’s project and they will be working with fellow creative Frank DeRose. Frank was born and raised in Queens and has a history in performing hiphop and rap music but also is a designer and has his own studio, Zut Alors, Inc.
In Jan Wilker’s own words “The starting point for us will be a hiphop song that the two of us will create together. Hopefully during the process sound and words will lead to other adventures.”
June 26th 2009
Stefan Kraus & Sebastian Wrong
Sebastian Wrong and Stefan Kraus worked together on the Font Clock two years ago and are seeking a new challenge. They are both directors, Sebastian of Established & Sons, Stefan of Polimekanos and both work as independent artists. They haven’t formulated their concept yet, but their aim is to produce an object, combining graphical language together with craftsmanship.
June 24th 2009
BCMH & William Smith
Welcome to the rosta of artists exhibiting in January BCMH (Bravo Charlie Mike Hotel) and William Smith from design company Smith & Wightman.
Their proposal is called ‘One of one off’ and explained in their own words…
“Inevitably much of the work that both of our practices’ make is made in multiples. This common requirement gives us the opportunity to re-approach use of materials and methods of production in order to make new things, often steering the final outcome and bending it into shape. Our collaboration will look to examine the richness of the multiple through a series of machines and experiments in an attempt make a one off for the exhibition.”
Sounding special already.
June 10th 2009
Marion Deuchars & Margaret Calvert
I’m not sure that there’s anything that I can say that hasn’t already been written about Margaret Calvert - one half of the brains behind all the road signs you see every single day. Master editorial illustrator Marion Deuchars asked her to team up with her for IYC Collaborate and this is their plan:
“The M1, Britain’s first “full-length” motorway, connecting the North to the South, carries over 130,000 motorists a day. The southern section of the M1 from St Albans to Birmingham was opened in 1959.
‘A trip down the motorway’ is a collaboration between Margaret Calvert and Marion Deuchars, utilising the materials used to manufacture the signs. We are honoured to have this as part of the show and are very excited to see their progress!
June 10th 2009
HelloVon & Timothy Saccenti
HelloVon and Timothy Saccenti is a duo that we could have only dreamed on having involved in the project. They will be producing a one off piece combining Tim’s incredible photography (see the pictured portrait of Tricky) and Von’s artwork based on the female nude and we are looking forward to seeing how it develops…
June 10th 2009
Build & Flying Lotus
Switching the traditional role of a sleeve designer and a musician, whereby the designer interprets visually the music of an artist. This proposal aims to switch the role. The designer (Build) will produce a series of images that the musician (Flying Lotus) will react to and interpret into music to accompany the images. The images will be projected in the gallery space with the accompanying music played alongside.
June 10th 2009
George Hardie & Leonardo Sonnoli
As well as some emerging talent we’ve also got some of the best in the business taking part in this year’s project. None more so than Hipgnosis legend George Hardie, designer Leonardo Sonnoli and children’s illustrator Sara Fanelli
They propose to play a game of Consequences stemming from a visit George took to see Leonardo in Rimini in 2003. While he was being shown around the city George noticed a set of rubber number stamps, but unfortunately could not find the alphabet set of the same type. A couple of years later George suggested that he and Leonardo might play a game of consequences with the alphabet. The first making an A and the second following some theme in the first’s work to create his own B and so on. George also suggested that Sara might make an excellent third (or perhaps first) partner.
So, what better excuse than this to make the project a reality, and watch this space for updates. Pictured is one of Leonardo’s many brilliant posters to whet your appetite.
June 10th 2009
Jacob Dahlgren & Johan Löfgren
Jacob Dahlgren has made compelling, colourful work for a range of galleries and shows and it’s an honour to have him showing his work as part of our exhibition in January. Alongside Johan Löfgren they will be making a film about abstraction, incorporating both moving pictures, animations and still photos.
June 10th 2009
Michael Moloney & Daniel Eatock
We’re thrilled that Michael Moloney is involved in this year’s project and equally as excited that he’s chosen Daniel Eatock to work with him. They are going to explore the idea of emptiness/nothing/voids, developing a video piece based on all the things that can go wrong with a projector during a presentation.
June 10th 2009
Job Wouters & Roel Wouters
Our only family pairing to take part this year are the brothers Wouters. Amsterdam based Job and Roel have been seen on numerous stages including exhibitions, adverts, personal projects, workshops and beyond, but what you can always count on is that their work is of the highest standard out there. Unsure of what to do at first they’ve settled on making a movie about a machine Job made last year, ‘The Rainbow Gun’. It’s a tool that uses seven spraycans at the same time and the rest we’ll levae to your imagination for now…
June 10th 2009
With Associates & Anthony Dickens
With Associates have been producing slick site and systems for many years, and in-keeping with the diversity of this year’s show we asked them to be involved to bring their thoughts and ideas to the table.
They have chosen to collaborate with industrial designer Anthony Dickens (note his brilliant Anglepoise lamp pictured) who’s made some fantastic products and will help them explore the theme of ‘time’.
Their goal will be to have a physical object at the end, that combines technology with product design. Yes please.
June 10th 2009
New Partner!
Hvass&Hannibal have had a change of heart on who they’re going to work with for the project. They’re now set on Anne Werner who is a Danish artist, educated from the Islandic School of the Arts and from the Technical College of Copenhagen studying tecnical pattern cutting. She collects old crafts and DIY books from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s and a lot of her work draws on tecniques she finds in them.
They’ve known Anne for a long time, and we really love her colorful, crazy work. So they are looking forward to getting started on this and seeing what’s inside her head and how it will melt together with their own ideas.
Their plan is to make is a giant wall carpet or drape, using different colours and materials. Experimenting with textures and compostions in a huge hand-sewn image. The fabrics will vary, from pieces of old clothing to hand dyed or woven bits.
They hope “it will look like a mix between the remains of a tablecloth after a wild 17-hour party, and a more saturated version of the bayeux carpet.” If it’s half as good as it sounds it’s going to be spectacular.
June 10th 2009
Sandy Suffield & Fiona Woodcock
We met Sandy when she came in and blew us away with her stunning emroidered work. Unfortunately she doesn’t have a site to show us it online, but take our word for it being fantastically intricate and satisfying. We asked her to be involved in this year’s project on the spot and she has chosen Fiona Woodcock to be her partner.
Fiona and Sandy’s project was prompted by the press reaction to the budget, with broadsheets shouts of ‘Armageddon’, The Sun countered with a headline – ‘At least it’s sunny’. Fiona and Sandy will produce a series of images using cover headlines from the paper, they’re interested in the poetry and wit of the copy, the potentially short-lived period in which people understand the meaning/context of a headline and how this is further obscured by our treatment of them – stitching and painting the words and embellishing them with drawings.
June 10th 2009
Sam Messenger & Ben Holt
Sam Messenger makes some beautiful pieces of art and for the exhibition he’ll be working with a carpenter named Bart Long. They are going to produce an artwork using materials usually used by carpenters & builders to be hung on the wall and measure approximately 4” x 4”
Pictured is some previous artwork by Sam, made from chalkline, ink and household gloss on birch ply…

4D Glasses
Not just content with being one of the finest children’s illustrators in the business, Oliver Jeffers has decided to turn to excellent jewellery designer Aaron Ruff to help him make something physical. To be more precise, a set of 4D glasses.
They will provide the opportunity to observe not only all 3 dimensions, but time as well, the fourth dimension. Thus making it possible to observe the future and the past in glorious techni-colour, from the comfort of your own living room. Their appearance will have the taste of an over elaborate set of binoculars, a pair of goggles and the multi filtered optometrists eye test machine, in the style of Jules Verne meets Jacques Cousteau, inside a 60s textbook. They’ll be sweet.
Pictured is another one of Oliver’s contraptions built in 2007…
June 10th 2009
Max Lamb & Gemma Holt
Max’s furniture has been exhibited all over the world and his work is directly influenced by the materials and process used to create them - form follows material and process.
Artist Gemma Holt’s work comes from objects, materials and ideas of the everyday. The things we live with and use on a daily basis, yet so often take for granted and has taken particular interest in stationery items and patterned floor surfaces, and recently has combined the two into interior-specific installations - floors using subtly edited stationery equipment and geometric patterns composed from the shapes found in mathematical stationery sets.
The two will collaborate with the notion ‘furniture as an extension of the floor’. and pictured is a photograph taken by Max in Milan a few years ago, where the floor has become ‘three dimensional’.

Let Your Freak Flag Fly
Having come across Karl’s work through a flag he created on his own, his proposal with And Beyond is going to continue on a very interesting thread… “A flag is a piece of fabric with a symbolic meaning, used for signaling and identification. The term is also used to refer to the graphic design employed by a flag, or to its depiction in another medium. The flag is a powerful icon with ever-changing connotations. It represents the history, the future, the collective, individuality, hope, terror, peace and war.
The flag is worshipped and burnt, forced upon you and banned. It is a symbol of freedom and identity, it is your good old home, the revolution and it doesn’t belong to you. And still, it’s a piece of fabric. Let your freak flag fly.”
June 10th 2009
Dance / Danse (working title)
Julien and Nicholas have come up with a great proposal… in their own words: “Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they donʼt interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time?
We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths. This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. The scene would be interactive. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time.
This experiment is based on the short film ʻTangoʼ from Zbigniew Rybczynski. During the exhibition, we will invite people to interact with these objects. They can randomly press any button, or even spell some words, their name, and see how the space will react.”
June 10th 2009
Jon Klassen & David O'Reilly
Take two fantastic motion directors who have set themselves the open task of creating a looping 3D animation sequence and you’ll no doubt end up with something of note. Jon and David have total freedom to do exactly what they want, and we hope they do.
June 10th 2009
Jesse Auersalo & Jesse Pietilä
Jesse Auersalo makes incredible illustrations, Jesse Pietilä is a talented spatial designer and holds a masters in the subject. Together they’re looking to explore how posters could be exhibited in more interesting way (pictured is some of Jesse’s previous work). To do so, they’re keeping the plans tightly under wraps but aim to “create a series of posters.. with a new perspective”. Intriguing.
June 10th 2009
James Gilpin & Helge Fischer
Young interaction designers James Gilpin and Helge Fischer seem to have ideas to spare. To add to the already diverse range of proposals for projects, the two Royal College of Art students will be working together to produce a reactive sound piece.
Post rave pop oddballs “My Toys Like Me” (http://www.myspace.com/mytoyslikeme) have approached they to initiate a design process capable of bringing an intelligent new audience to their music. They felt that the white gallery space presents an interesting set of design constraints as anything audible will need to have its own voice in a visually rich space.
June 10th 2009
Fontaine Anderson & Deanne Cheuk
We are pleased to welcome to the line-up illustration duo Fontaine Anderson and Deanne Cheuk.
They are planning to create a zine/artist’s book together. The format for the zine is undecided too but they imagine it to be A5 bound, and the spreads will also be exhibited as posters.
The theme for their piece is ‘costumes and nature’ and this theme will flow through each spread. Due to geographical limitations Deanne and Fontaine will be collaborating solely via email and the postal system…
June 10th 2009
Calligraffiti
Sadly design superstar Paula Scher has had to pull out of this year’s project due to a mountain of work that’s not getting any smaller. In her place Craig has kept the bar very high, choosing two collaborators in the guise of lettering geniuses Sean Freeman and Alison Carmichael. Having grown tired of street after street of the same old tagging, Alison, Sean and Craig will be bringing an altogether more beautiful form of typography to the streets of our capital. Largescale, outdoor, beautifully realised typographic compositions. What could be better? Pictured is some of Alison’s hand rendered work…
June 10th 2009
Chrissie & Marie's Proposal
Chrissie and Marie have let us in on their plans for their final piece… they are working towards creating a performance of sorts, which will be documented as photographs and moving image. The content will take the form of a garment, doll, installation, prop, theatre set, costume, machine, collection of artifacts or all of the above. With a list of references as long as your arm including folk art, painted doll shoes, Alexander Girard, talismans, quilts, the oversized, Eduardo Paolozzi, guatamalen knitted face hats I think we’re in for a bit of a treat.
June 10th 2009
Bryan Dalton & A Nice Idea Everyday
We love Bryan’s work and we also had no idea that he knew the guys at A Nice Idea Everyday. The idea of them teaming up is a very exciting one and they will be making two short 20-30 second films for the show in January.
June 9th 2009
Jim and Andy's Proposal
After having a few different ideas of what to do, Jim has decided to team up with Philadelphia based illustrator and designer, Andy Rementer. They are hoping to produce a collaborative collection of drawings, to be presented as a zine. There will also be a full colour drawing to work alongside the zine and all of the work produced will be based on the theme of living in the future. They want to “experience first hand, the environment and cultural swathes that the far distant future have in store.” Some of Andy’s work is pictured to give you a taster.
May 10th 2009
Julien Vallée & Nicholas Burrows
Berlin based Julien Vallée has been making beautiful things for some time now, but we’ve never quite managed to find the opportunity to have him involved in and IYC project. Until now that is, as he’ll be combining forces with Nicholas Burrows from Nous Vous in Leeds, UK. Above is a 3D piece recently exhibited by Julien in Zurich.
March 31st 2009
Anthony Burill & John Griffiths
We are excited to welcome back to our If You Could project one of the good guys of the design world, Anthony Burrill. He’s reached for the stars (sorry) and has decided to create a piece of work with astronomer John Griffiths. When we launched If You Could all those years ago I don’t think we ever expected to be working with an astronomer… but we’re very pleased to welcome John on board. Pictured are some star charts they’ve produced before… more soon.
Anthony Burrill
John GriffithsMarch 31st 2009
James Houston & Johnny Kelly
Moving image is a discipline we’ve somewhat neglected in previous years, but we are looking to change that for this year’s show. What better way to break our duck than to invite two of the most exciting young talents from the genre to work on something extra special together. Please welcome James Houston and Johnny Kelly. Above is some of James’ recent music video work

Change of Plan
There’s been a little change of plan on Jim Stoten’s project, and here’s why in his own words: My friend Bill Williams originally had the idea to make a giant breakfast using giant ingredients. When this project came up, i thought it would make a good film if i documented bill making his dream come true.
We were going to use gammon as bacon rashers, field mushrooms as button mushrooms, beef tomatoes as fried tomatoes. we were even going to get a scaled up sausage made especially. the icing on the breakfast cake would have been a fried ostrich egg.
Last weekend, we set out with the camera and our shopping list, but alas, we fell at the first hurdle. the ostrich does not lay eggs willy nilly. We couldn’t find one anywhere and we both knew that without the egg, there wasn’t much point. So, i had to change my submission for the project.
Recently, i have been in touch with american illustrator/artist Andy Rementer. we have a mutual appreciation of each others work and have collaborated a couple of times on a zine called BOING.
I had just mentioned to Andy that I would like to collaborate with him again for something, and he suggested an animation at some point in the future. Now we are at the present day, and if I could do anything tomorrow I would collaborate with Andy Rementer on an animation.
Welcome Andy, and keep your eyes on the blog for updates.

Project Launch
We are very pleased to announce that If You Could collaborate has officially launched with our first ten participants. Here you can follow the progress of all of the projects right up until the exhibition in January 2010. For now there are only 10 pairings, but we will be confirming a list of nearer 50 by the time the exhibition opens it’s doors so watch this space for updates.
March 18th 2009
Chrissie Macdonald & Marie O'Connor
As well as some unexpected collaborations we’ve also got some great pairings who have worked closely together before. A good example of one of these duos is Chrissie Macdonald and Marie O’Connor . They are both part of the scarily prolific Peepshow Collective and owners of incredibly talented hands, so we’re very happy to let them get on with things and see what they come up with. Above is some of Chrissie’s personal work, and if you’ve got a few moments have a browse through the rest of her impressive folio.
March 18th 2009
Craig Ward & Paula Scher
I didn’t think we’d ever get the opportunity to work with one of our all time heroes, but after we asked Craig Ward to make a piece of work for us, the doors were opened. He appraoched Pentagram design legend Paula Scher and the rest is history. They’re currently coming up with a proposal for their project but with two fantastic typographic sensibilities I get the impression this could be something extraordinary. Pictured is a piece Craig recently did for the Economist
March 18th 2009
Hvass&Hannibal; & Tove Nielsen
Having admitted defeat on trying to get Phil Collins to work with them, Danish duo Sofie and Nan na, who go by the name of Hvass&Hannibal have settled with someone much closer to home. Sofie’s grandmother is an excellent knitter and the makings of a bespoke knitwear collection are on the horizon. Pictured is a recent record cover they have designed for Turboweekend. More knitting soon.
March 18th 2009
Ian Wright & Riitta Ikonen
Mr Ian Wright has been a supporter of the If You Could project since day one back in 2006. Since then we’ve worked on many projects together and we’re pleased to have him involved in the collaborate project this year. When we heard he’d arranged to work with If You Could debutant Riitta Ikonen, not even we could hazard a guess at what they might come up with. Pictured above is Riitta, and no more words are needed.
March 18th 2009
Jim Stoten & Bill Williams
Jim Stoten is famed for intricate felt-tip drawings created over many hours all by himself. For If You Could Jim will be working in a totally different way, with the help of his scientist and writer friend Bill Williams. Only time will tell what they’re conjuring up.
March 18th 2009
Jody Barton & Nick Arnold
Witty, in your face communication twinned with a great mark making ability is what Jody Barton is all about. He’s decided to step well outside of his comfort zone and work with a drummer on a project that is TBC. What we can guarantee is it’s not going to be a classic illustration project.
March 18th 2009
Karl Grandin & And Beyond
Karl Grandin is the brains behind the brilliant ‘Animal Sweater’ pictured above, so given the chance to work with another talented creative who knows what he’ll come up with. Choosing to work with the brilliant dutch fashion designers And Beyond can only lead to great things.
March 18th 2009
Kim Hiorthøy & Ben Drury
Kim Hiorthøy is undoubtedly one of the most influential creatives working in the industry at the moment. So when he said to us that he was going to create his piece for the project with record sleeve design legend Ben Drury we were honoured. We wait with bated breath to see what they come up with, the above drawing by Kim should whet your appetite.
March 18th 2009
Oliver Jeffers & Aaron Ruff
What do you get when you cross a children’s illustrator with a furniture turned jewellery designer? Welcome to IYC Collaborate Oliver Jeffers and Aaron Ruff who will put their heads together to produce a product for the show. More updates very soon, but in the mean time have a look at one of Oliver’s drawings above.
