One of the artists to take part in the event is David Sedgwick and he's come up with the idea of using football studs to create typography and chose the Argentinian team of Boca Juniors for his chant. The piece is made from wood, acrylic and the rest of the chant is etched into the wood around the hexagon edges. Liam Hopkins of Lazerian helped to make the object.

The exhibition kicks off tomorrow at Hoxton Arches, 37 Cremer Street, London E2 8HD and more information can be found here: Gloryglory2013.co.uk.
