The Metropolitan Complex is a project developed by Sarah Pierce, as stated on the website it 'uses archives, exhibitions and papers - often opening up these structures to the personal and the incidental'. The purpose being that 'work happens through slippages between here and there, and despite at times obscure patterns of communication, every situation begins with an invitation'.
'The Metropolitan Complex' is a term used by Pierce to collectively describe her art practise.
