The collective action by the transnational duo, MR Barnadas & Tae Hwang, extends the art studio into public space by working directly with and alongside volunteer participants to create art.

In 2008, they began operating under the name, Collective Magpie, to share ownership of the projects produced together with participants. Through taking the studio into public space and working between different global sites and citizens, the art produced yields hybrid objects and new cultural forms.
