For the Prologue to Edition III – Masquerade at Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Arts in Copenhagen, Sarah Pierce gave a lecture about her work to be developed for If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution.

Since 2003, Sarah Pierce has used an umbrella term – The Metropolitan Complex – to describe her art practice. Despite its institutional resonance, this title does not signify an organisation. Instead, it demonstrates Pierce’s broad understanding of cultural work, articulated through various discursive working methods, involving papers, interviews, archives, talks and exhibitions.
