We’re really excited to be launching a new project for our window. This Is
Why We Meet is an investigation, showcase and celebration of collaborative
working practice within the arts. This Is Why We Meet is a collaboration
between Wieden + Kennedy and curating partnership Pat And Trevor,
in association with the University of the Arts London and supported by Nokia.

We have selected 4 students from each college within the University of the
Arts London. Students will become part of a collaborative team and work
together intensively for a one-week period prior to installation in order to
create an interactive piece of work.

Work produced will be exhibited in window at Hanbury Street. The project has started
with Chelsea College of Art and Design (display:
Monday 20th July) and you can follow all their progress here.

For more information take a look here.

The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
has announced the nominations for Outstanding Commercial in
anticipation of the 2009 Creative Arts Emmy Awards being held on
Saturday, September 12 and 61st Primetime Emmy Awards being held on
Sunday, September 20. W+K's Portland office has three spots out of the eight on the shortlist. (I don't know much about the Emmys but that seems to be pretty much a good thing, so congrats due to Portland.) Here they are.
