One of our favourite graphic artists Anthony Burrill, is exhibiting this month in Shoreditch as part of the annual If You Could Collaborate exhibition. The exhibition aims to provide a platform for the finest creatives from all over the world to work with a partner from any profession and produce something a bit unexpected. There is no brief to answer, or format to honour, and a liberal 12 month deadline. Anthony chose astronomer John Griffiths, and the combination has led to a set of perspex “abstract representations of celestial bodies in conjunction”, or graphical representations of chance encounters in space to you or me. Other collaborations featured in the exhibition include a flatpack rocking chair by Rob Ryan and furniture designer Michael Marriott, and a new world in the form of an oversized flag co-created by Cheap Monday’s Karl Grandin and Dutch fashion designers And Beyond.
