• Bureaucracy as a medium for individual agency
• Management as self-management
• Bureaucratic engagement as opening a space for debate and negotiation
• The aesthetics of the office reconfigured or re-invented
• Examining how organization occurs, and how it can be co-opted

"The absurd proposals offered up by Jennings and Lambert have the quality of dreams. The artists explain that they asked experts in the fields of architecture, city planning and transportation for ideas on how to make a better city. These plans were then 'perhaps mildly exaggerated.' It is exactly in this exaggeration that the artists' visions have their political power, and their morality."

A New York City Print Week Event “One Every Day,” as presented by the EFA Project Space

“The exhibition foregrounds the relationship of printed ephemera to cultural and artistic production, and marks the curatorial debut for Printeresting.org.”
“From the detritus under the windshield and the debris in
our pockets to gig posters mounted on telephone poles, One Every Day attests that all varieties of print ephemera share the following three
characteristics: fleeting function, low-cost means of production, and the fact that somebody out there loves them.”

Location: EFA Project Space
OPENING RECEPTION:
Saturday, November 7, 6-9 pm

On view from November 5 through December 19, 2009
