Interns visit the Amex

Our interns took a visit to the upper East concourse yesterday to have a look at the new space.

We're not sure if they are smiling with the joy of seeing the area for the first time or the choice of jackets they were given.

Ron Mueck opening at Hauser and Wirth

We experienced a fantastic level of detail at last nights opening of the Ron Mueck private view.

The sense of scale and wonderful curation of the space was superb. We enjoyed the man on the inflatable positioned centrally on a massive wall, allowing the viewer to feel as if you had a birds eye view of him floating in water. We'd like to go back and experience that space without so many people. see hauserwirth.com for more Ron Mueck

Favela

We were taken in to some of the biggest favelas in Brazil and given very personal tours of peoples homes, peoples spaces and the vision they have to create a better and safer environment for everyone. It was a very powerful day in so many ways and Corridor was proud to be invited with some very talented thinkers that want to change the way these spaces think and do. The cable car ride in to the favela was a journey we won't forget.

Corridor in Brazil

Corridor is back in Brazil for a three week period to look at strengthening some of our collaborative projects with a range of media organisations, brands and community based groups.

Some exciting meetings are taking place and we have met lots of new faces, so we hope to have exciting news upon our return to the UK.

Blue and White Stories

We recently installed 14 large fence panels at the Amex. The graphics cover up a range of equipment used by the maintenance team and were designed as pairs with different stories.

We like the painter finishing off the 'Albion' word. More images to follow soon.

Hats and Tales and Illustration

While at the launch of the new A Book of Hats and Tales, Corridor met with Jan Irvine who was capturing the live event with paper and charcoal. Our very own Inky would have been right at home...

Creative Review

This months Creative Review has a 4 page piece about our work with over 150 people from the city of Brighton and Hove. The opening image was photographed by our very own Stephen Cummiskey, who captured the whole process over 12 months.

The CR Photography Annual is full of some great articles and wonderful imagery.

Corridor attends Qubique in Berlin

It was great to attend Qubique last week in Berlin. An amazing space at the Templehof Airport had been transformed with some great workshops showcasing wallpaper manufacture to Thonet's classic wood steam bending machines and formers. Corridor met some new manufacturers and some new designers who we hope to be working with in the near future.

Corridor talks in Brazil

While on a flying visit to Rio at the start of last month, we caught up with a school of talented young people who live in the favelas around the city, and showed them the projects we'd like to partner with them on. The Corridor team will be working with them in the coming months. More to follow.

Youth Centre images

90 mins and 79 people, it wasn't easy trust us!

We had fun and the end result has made a huge difference to the centre. Part 2 coming in the next few weeks. Before 90 minutes and after of the Social Room for young teenage girls.

Brighton Youth Centre

Corridor had a great day working with Albion in the Community and Amex staff from across the South East today, transforming three rooms at the youth centre.

The football theme of a 90 minute makeover was great fun, a bit manic at points, with over 80 people participating, but we all achieved a great transformation for the young people using the centre. The two halves, two teams made light work of each room with decorating, painting and styling of each room to happen within the 45 minute sessions. A meeting room, social room and art room looked amazing. More images to follow soon.

Peter Ward finds his hair.

Corridor was sent this image early today. Not the best angle but it shows 70's Albion ace Peter Ward with illustrated hair. Peter is standing in front of one of the Screen Heroes images we created with City College Brighton and Hove and 11 students. The image is of Peter's hairdo back in 1970, and as you can see it's a perfect fit!

Braille Football

Corridor has been working with some inspiring young VI football players with Charlie Curry at AITC, over the past 6 months.

We used the inspiration of football studs to create these dynamic braille poems for the East Stand concourse at The Amex. All 5 pieces will be on permanent display for the game on 30th August against Spurs.

Respect Shirts

We have almost finished the 12 Respect Shirts we created with the Brighton and Hove Albion team and 12 local Primary schools across the city. Each player partnered with a school and exchanged life stories to create a piece of art based on shared experiences and an understanding of different cultures. The half shirts are based on the club and players country of origin. All 12 Respect Shirts will be on permanent display for the next game against Spurs in the East Stand.

Memory Wall

First batch of memories we designed for the memory wall in the North Stand. A series of modular vinyls, that will be applied directly to the concrete interior walls of the concourses. We've got a couple of Albion greats lined up with their own personal memories of their time at Brighton. We've also been asking the fans from across Sussex to send us images and stories from the clubs past. All will be revealed at the next game against Spurs on July 30th.

Collecting the Respect Shirts

Another balmy June day, saw the Corridor team race around Brighton to collect the 12 Respect Shirts from 12 Brighton and Hove primary schools. While the weather was not on our side, we had fun catching up with some of the children and teachers behind the pieces of artwork.

With thanks to Graham Hicks from VaNJaM for his help with carefully packing and collecting all the artwork today.

JBPR + Corridor

Corridor is proud to be partnering with Jo Brooks PR in Brighton. As we reach the final stages of our Amex Stadium project we have been looking for a smart communication team to help amplify the work over the past 10months. We look forward to working with Jo and her team.

Scarf it up

We love a bit of applique, so thoughts early this year turned to recreating a social scarf made up of some classic old Albion names from players past and present. Soon to be displayed at the new Amex Stadium we are almost nearing the end of several social design programs Corridor have designed for the city over the past 10 months.

Screen Printing Workshop

Corridor invited students from City College Brighton and Hove to see how digital and screen prints are made. The students are overseeing the final set of prints for one of our projects. Each of them has been working hard for the past 10 weeks. The students not only set up the files ready for the print house, but were shown how to separate layers and adjust colours, and helped prep screens and hand print on to A1 stock. Tea was also served.

Hawks FC

Corridor is proud to be sponsoring the Hawks FC Awards this coming Saturday for the end of year presentations. We love the tee with our logo. Thanks to Ryan at Dockerills
