MB: I initiate actions, events and interruptions interrogating the aesthetics of presence and power. These encounters are framed within appropriate contexts to animate the content of the work. I generously host my work. Hospitality conceives a limit upon where the other can trespass, it has a tendency to be rather inhospitable. This altruistic aporia questions the nature of the decisions we make and how they define us, accentuating our ritualised activities and the images we create.
Scunthorpe born Burkitt has shown consistently in the UK and internationally and is a member of D.I.Y art group Black Dogs. He has just selected the 2009 Harry Meadley Prize at Leeds College of Art and Design.
