Soft Futures @ Metrotech

Because of its proximity to the Metrotech Christmas tree, Matt Sheridan Smith’s inflatable sculpture “Soft Futures (price has no memory)” at first  seems holiday-like. In fact, it’s about publicly traded commodities – wheat, coffee, wool, and canola oil – and our desire to control and predict their performance. The piece is part of “Total Recall,” the winter exhibit at Metrotech presented by the Public Art Fund.
