'A Game We Made Up' - Carson & Miller

Jonathan Carson & Rosie Miller's collaborative practice investigates their shared interest in narrative. Their recent work has explored the principle of game-playing as a device to exchange stories and to generate new narratives.

In A Game We Made Up (the new work they have completed during the first half of the Swap/Vaihto project) Carson & Miller have created a series of bespoke narrative games, designed to be played in specific locations matched to particular players (drawn from the people taking part in the exchange). The resulting work - on show at Bureau until 9 August, 2008 - documents the playing of the games in audio and text format.

Presented here are a series of documents which detail the questions asked and the rules they played by. Also available are short audio files from each of the games played - to hear these excerpts click on http://www.box.net/shared/33egf5wso0

Carson & Miller are currently completing a new work, which draws on A Game We Made Up, for the second half of Swap/Vaihto. Both works will be shown at the Cable Factory.

Carson & Miller thank all of their fellow players - they know who they are!
