Through a panorama of photography and sculpture, the works in this show are based on the idea of the contrived. The participating artists play on the notion of the obviously planned and calculated through varying methods, whether revealing the artistic process or demonstrating a meticulously planned artistic scenario.
"Mustang Summer is built around the idea of contrivance (what's more contrived than the isolation of objects inside white walls?); but the hook is that it isn't the usual kind of smartyboots use and abuse of deliberate artifice. Mustang Summer, which is largely made up of photographs, assumes we already know that art (and particularly photography) tells truth slant, as the poet said, and proceeds with earnestness to looks at the game that is the artist's work." — Emily Hall, The Stranger, August 2002
