100,000 Cubicle Hours

Opening Reception: Friday, January 13 from 7 to 10 p.m.

Humans spend approximately 100,000 hours working - 100,000 hours spent away from friends, family, mates, and in some cases the people they consider themselves to be. On-the-job behavior is appropriate, polite and tight. People become unrecognizable. A person's office job alter ego has work clothes, a work voice, a work computer, work jargon, agendas, lists, meetings, lunch breaks, conference calls, performance reviews and cubicles. Having recently started “real jobs” themselves, the artists in this exhibit have created an office environment to give viewers a sense of what it’s like for creative types to bumble around under fluorescent lighting, secretly playing within the gray space in an effort to keep their spirits intact. The exhibit is curated by Beth Malone and Courtney Hammond of Dashboard Co-Op and features works by Nikita Gale, Andrew Hammond, Takuro Masuda and Matt Sigmon.
