Daydreams at M&C

The normally pristine white atrium at ad agency M&C Saatchi has been transformed into a showcase of the multifarious talents of creative collective Daydream Network

Last night saw the opening of an exhibition which will run at the agency until 23 July. This is the second time that M&C’s executive creative director Graham Fink has invited the Network into the agency. As before walls, pillars and even the reception desk were all decorated by some of the many individuals and collectives that the Network brings together.

On display is a mix of graffiti (which visitors are encouraged to add to) illustration and photography either applied direct to the surfaces of the building, or on prints and lightboxes.

The show also marked the launch of DD04; the fourth edition of Dream Network’s “independent creative directory” which is distributed to media and creative agencies. M&C Saatchi is at Golden Square, London W1. If you are interested in buying any of the artworks on show, contact saatchi@daydreamnetwork.com

Hey thanks for the great review. I was one of the Illustrators that drew over the left hand-side of the building (see first pic) along with - Mark Whittle/ Peter Edmunds/ and Bonzai.
It was a fantastic show and a terrific experience of collaborations and amalgamations of styles and techniques.

If you would like to commission us to come and draw all over the walls of your office, living room, nursery we are available independantly or as a collective.

Contact us through my website tomhovey.co.uk or if you would like the entire Daydream Collective to host a showcase in your building contact Hugo/Avue @ daydreamnetwork.com

And thanks CR
