press release

In March The 20th Biennale of Sydney, The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed, curated by Stephanie Rosenthal, will launch at Artspace with the Embassy of Non-Participation (one of seven 'Embassies of Thought' thematically unifiying the #20BOS venues), a presentation of the work of UK-based collaborative artist duo Karen Mirza and Brad Butler (Mirza/Butler). The Embassy of Non-Participation is anchored on their long-running project The Museum of Non Participation, which investigates neoliberal life through an imaginary and mobile institution that invites its visitors to question the possibilities of active withdrawal.

Alongside the embassy a series of workshops and public programs will be presented by participants of The Bureau of Writing, a writing program designed for artists and collaboratively produced by Artspace and The Biennale of Sydney.
