Island Records and EMI have unveiled a redesigned shared headquarters in King’s Cross, London, following an 18-month collaboration with Interesting Projects and Studio Island, the labels’ in-house creative studio.
Conceived as a hybrid between workplace and exhibition, the project brings together more than 70 historic and newly commissioned artworks, photography and ephemera spanning the cultural histories of both labels. Works by Annie Leibovitz, Thierry Noir, BANKSY, Jeremy Deller, Corbin Shaw, Nadia Lee Cohen and Anton Corbijn are integrated throughout the space.
