Works with Janet Cardiff
Bures Miller and Cardiff represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale with their work "Paradise Institute" (2001), which featured a 16-seat movie theatre where viewers watched a film. The audience became entangled as witnesses to a possible crime played out both in the real-world audience and on the screen. For their innovative approach, the artists were awarded the La Biennale di Venezia Special Award, marking the first time it was presented to Canadian artists, as well as the Benesse Prize, recognizing their experimental and pioneering spirit.
Cardiff and Bures Miller have also showcased their works in various exhibitions, including at Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco (2018),[1] Modern Art Oxford (2008), the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland (2008) Vancouver Art Gallery (2005), Luhring Augustine, New York (2004), Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati (2003), Art Gallery of Ontario (2002), National Gallery of Canada (2002) and Oakville Galleries, Oakville, Ontario (2000).[citation needed]
