United Visual Artists – UVA (GB)

United Visual Artists (UVA) is a London-based studio founded in 2003 by British artist Matt Clark. UVA’s diverse body of work integrates new technologies with traditional media such as sculpture, performance and site-specific installations. Drawing on sources ranging from ancient philosophy to theoretical science, they explore the cultural frameworks and natural phenomena that shape our knowledge, creating tools that manipulate our perceptions and reveal the relativity of our experience. Rather than material objects, UVA’s works are better understood as events in time in which the performance of light, sound, and movement unfolds. 

UVA have been represented in major gallery institutions including the Barbican Curve Gallery, London; the Royal Academy of Arts; the Serpentine Gallery, London; The Wellcome Trust; the Victoria & Albert Museum; YCAM, Tokyo, Japan and the Sydney Biennale. UVA’s studio collaborates with a variety of professionals beyond the visual arts. Collaborations span many disciplines and personalities including choreographers Animals of Distinction, Benjamin Millepied and the Paris Opéra Ballet, filmmaker Adam Curtis, musicians Massive Attack, Battles, James Blake, Ben Frost.
