The Locust (2004)

The
Locust presents a complex scenario proposing that the four members of
the San Diego grindcore band of the same name are the result of a
fashioning of entropic abstract ooze - an association I had made after
attending one of their performances.
Within the exhibition, the
band, their performance, and its reception by me, are described as a
narrative addition to popular culture written by an audience member. I
implicated myself as a member of their audience to illustrate a form of
active participation by example. My constructed history of The Locust
represented one example of what an individual's attention to an
environment can produce. The exhibition was set up as a makeshift
archive documenting the pre and post-thought I had applied to the
identity of The Locust.
