Karen Mirza and Brad Butler's (working together since 1997) artistic practice is based on collaboration and dialogue. This manifests itself in a multi-layered practice of film making, installation, photography, performance, publishing and curating. Their work is engaged with challenging and interrogating terms such as "participation", "collaboration", "the social turn" and the traditional roles of the artist as producer and the audience as recipient. Karen Mirza and Brad Butler's current body of work, The Museum of Non Participation, commissioned by Artangel, proposes a museum as a conceptual (geo)political construct of gesture, image and thresholds of language. Their first film made in this context The Exception and the Rule has screened in over 20 major international festivals.

Working in different film formats, often inserting fragments of other media – drawing, found photograph and footage into his films, Deimantas Narkevičius expands temporal and spatial boundaries of his narratives.
