UVA – Volume, 2006 - V&A Museum Manchester International Festival Robert Del Naja, Massive Attack and Adam Curtis This will be the 10th year UVA collaborate with Robert Del Naja and Massive Attack. For Manchester International Festival (4-7 & 10-13 July) a collaboration between Robert Del Naja, Massive Attack and Adam Curtis will form the central commission, it will then tour to Ruhrtriennale (29-31 August) and Park Avenue Armory (28-30 September & 2-4 October). UVA are working with Robert Del Naja and Adam Curtis to continue Massive Attack’s interest in an often politicised storytelling. The concept “the power of illusion and the illusion of power”, will be adapted both literally and metaphorically by UVA’s use of screens to display both fantasy and fact which will offer multiple stories and “possible endings”. UVA express their interest in evoking a sense of presence, bringing life to structures through mediums of code, light, sound, and in this case moving image.

UVA – Fragment, 2013 UVA Biography United Visual Artists (UVA) are an art practice based in London, founded in 2003. Their work combines disciplines of sculpture, architecture, live art and installation. Their open approach to collaboration and diverse backgrounds encourage and inspire an exploration into new fields of artistic production. UVA’s work is often positioned between passive and active engagement, this is encouraged by their interest in evoking a sense of presence, or in their large, collectively experienced installations: communion. ‘Complex systems’ which include topics of Collective behaviour, Networks, Evolution & Adaption and Pattern formation, have a strong influence on UVA’s practice, these themes, which occur in nature, are explored in their relation to similar complexities in technology. UVA are represented by Gazelli Art House, London w<strong>here</strong> their work Continuum is currently being exhibited until 20th June. Exhibitions & Commissions UVA’s work has been exhibited in cities worldwide including; Barcelona, Beijing, Berlin, Hong Kong, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Sao Paolo, St Petersburg, Taipei and Tokyo.
