DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Sisyphus Office\nEvent Url: http://www.artshound.co
 m/event/detail/23733/Sisyphus_Office\nEvent Date Begin: 2009-05-08\nEvent 
 Date End: 2009-06-27\n\nSkydive presents the exhibition Sisyphus Office\, 
 on view May 8 - June 27th 2009.\n\nSKYDIVE is pleased to announce its most
  ambitious exhibition in scope and sprawl\, Sisyphus Office\, organized by
  San Francisco based artist\, curator\, and co-founder of The Thing Quarte
 rly\, Jonn Herschend. Sisyphus Office will open May 8th from 5-8:30pm. Loc
 ations of artist's projects for Sisyphus Office include The Decorative Cen
 ter\, Nea House of Beauty\, Copy.com\, the Aurora Picture Show's office\, 
 KPFT 90.1 radio's offices\, Caroline Collective and Skydive's office.\nBas
 ed out of Skydive\, the artists involved in the project are collaborating 
 with businesses and offices around Houston in order to centralize art as a
 n integral and necessary distraction in our day to day life.  The artists 
 and offices involved in Sisyphus Office are working physically and concept
 ually with the notions of existentialism\, romantic capitalism*\, artistic
  romanticism and deadpan slapstickism as a means to examine and probe the 
 artifice that keeps us clinging to reality and distracted from the void.\n
 Sisyphus Office is about punching the clock\, and then punching it again&h
 ellip\;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 beaut
 y 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 t
 he tragedy of the day to day&hellip\; and then waking up again to do the s
 ame thing all over again the next morning.\nSISYPHUS OFFICE\nAlex Clausen\
