Sisyphus Office will open May 8th from 5-8:30pm. Locations of artist's projects for Sisyphus Office include The Decorative Center, Nea House of Beauty, Copy.com, the Aurora Picture Show's office, KPFT 90.1 radio's offices, Caroline Collective and Skydive's office.=0D=0A=Based out of Skydive, the artists involved in the project are collaborating with businesses and offices around Houston in order to centralize art as an integral and 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, 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.=0D=0A=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.=0D=0A=SISYPHUS OFFICE=0D=0A=Alex Clausen, David Fullarton, Alice Shaw, David Keating, Elysa Lozano, Joe McKay, Brion Nuda Rosch, Susan O'Malley, Ryan Thayer, Lindsey White.  organized by Jonn Herschend.=0D=0A=1. =SKYDIVE= Office=0D=0A=3400 Montrose Blvd. #907=0D=0A=Houston, TX 77006=0D=0A=Artist: Elysa Lozano, Autonomous Organization=0D=0A=Hours: Sat, 1 - 5 pm=0D=0A=2.
