Sisyphus Office
I’m taking part in an exhibition called Sisyphus Office based out of Skydive, a Houston, Texas gallery. Here’s an extract form the press release:
“The artists involved in the project are collaborating with businesses and offices in and around Houston in order to highlight art as a necessary distraction in our day to day life. The artists and offices involved in Sisyphus Office are working physically and conceptually with the notions of existentialism, capitalism, artistic romanticism and deadpan slapstickism as a means to examine the artifice that keeps us clinging to reality and distracted from the void. Sisyphus Office is about punching the clock, and then punching it again…but harder the second time. It’s about transcending the mundane through the beauty and absurdity of distraction. It’s about recognizing the comedy in the tragedy of the day to day… and then waking up again to do the same thing all over again the next morning.”
Anyway, my contribution is an installation KPFT entitled "What I do at work when I'm supposed to be working." in the offices of Houston radio station 90.1. It consists of a number of small works made entirely from office supplies. That have been pinned up randomly amongst the notices, flyers and memos that were already existing in the office.
