In a Brutally Honest Workplace..(8 Funny Notes)

Does art belong in the workplace? Some people think so. Sisyphus Office is an exhibition organized by San Francisco based artist, curator, and co-founder of The Thing Quarterly, Jonn Herschend. The artists wanted to highlight art as an integral and necessary distraction in our everyday life. The art explores 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 Laurel and Hardy helping out in a business. It’s also about transcending the mundane through the beauty and absurdity of distraction and repetition, like watching paper being fed into a printer, or waiting for a file to upload. It’s 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."
