In one collaboration, Comme Ca Art joined forces with Selfridges & Co. to launch their new northern satellite store with the ‘Life Project’. Three sculptors and one painter, from Comme Ca Art’s books, were commissioned to create a series of innovative 2D and 3D works which captured the 4F’s philosophy behind Selfridges: Face, Food, Fashion, and Furniture.

This has led to a number of private commissions for the painter David Hancock and a solid working relationship with Selfridges & Co. During the year 2000, Comme Ca Art organised in-store art exhibitions at Selfridges & Co. Trafford Centre branch in which a number of artists sold works and also worked on commissions for private customers.

At the end of 1999, Comme Ca Art joined forces with Debenhams Manchester City Centre store. Debenhams asked Comme Ca Art to curate a series of exhibitions in their Tib Street window facade. The exhibitions began in January 2000 with an exhibition of works by UK resident artists and designers from a range of art and design disciplines.

The feed back from the public, artists and designers, curators and art institutions was phenomenal and the windows reached higher expectations than Comme Ca Art could ever have imagined.
