Metropolitan Structures Presents: Locus of Control
Metropolitan Structures continues its practice of curating extremely site-specific projects with this show, in which traditional and non-traditional media are positioned outdoors deliberately on a day with crappy, crappy weather. From the curators: “The old almanac forecast for the last weekend in January calls for snow and ice. Scott Keightley, Guy Nelson, Matthew Schrader, and Ashley Zangle have been working under this premise, relying on whatever external realities (snow, slush, a hurricane) present themselves for the exhibition. Locus of control is a term used in psychology to describe how we connect our actions with outcomes. It’s an apt concern here, as it embodies the idea of site contingencies. Indeed, it prompts us to ask, how do we respond when things seem out of control?
