United Visual Arts: Deus

About

United Visual Artists (UVA), established in 2003 by Chris Bird, Matt Clark and Ash Nehru, are a London-based art and design practice creating large-scale light-based installations. UVA creates more than mere spectacle; their work is about people. Their work aims to create a powerful social experience, turning the audience into active participants. The relationship between space, the performer and the audience is at the very heart of United Visual Artists' practice. Their spectacular light-box photographs, taken at a series of post-industrial landscapes in the UK including Dungeness and a Welsh quarry, continue their investigation into the emotional effects of light within a diversity of landscapes and environments.
