Description:
A Chance Operation was conceived as a response to Michel Foucault’s, The Order of Things. A desire to jump start the initiative to reconsider, reframe, recontextualize: a push to make order a matter of fancy rather than fact. Contemporary organizational structures that define current lines of reasoning and classification can be traced to concepts which arose out of the Age of Reason. Careful scrutiny of those theorists of leisure reveals a group of bold speculators. Perhaps that boldness can be taken up as a course of action once again? The installation features a room sized crate with a narrow door. Within the interior's dislocated space swirl thousands of fragments of a maze, the viewer is invited to keep whatever elements of this infinitely recombinative order they choose to.
