Artists:

Karen Mirza and Brad Butler's artistic practice is based on 
collaboration and dialogue. This manifests itself in a multi-layered 
practice of filmmaking, drawing, installation, photography, performance, 
publishing and curating. (www.mirza-butler.net, www.no-w-here.org.uk) 
Their work is fully engaged with challenging and interrogating concepts 
such as participation, collaboration, the social turn, and the 
traditional roles of the artist as producer and the audience as 
recipients. Currently this is taking the form of a project they have 
initiated called: 'The Museum of Non Participation'. Research is an 
integral part of their artistic practice, they approach their work from 
a conceptual slant engaged in universal ideas about modernity, the 
experiential city, the city as a site of alienation / creativity, 
playground / battleground. Moving across the conventions of film, 
cinema, sculpture and architecture their practice is concerned with 
ideas of uncertainty in relation to temporality, phemerality, and 
repetition that proliferates the everyday, reaffirmed in an urban 
context whereby the breakdown of control mechanisms and the reproduction 
of fear is played out in lived social space. 'Non Places' and 'Where a 
straight Line meets a Curve' are examples of works that explore the 
conflict and tension between the real 'actual' space and the imaginary 
'virtual' place as experienced in the mediatised everyday. Mirza and 
Butler intertwine a range of visual and conceptual languages, combining 
analytical and experimental sequences to create open-ended works.
