May 2005, New York City Ignivomous, a non-profit arts organization
dedicated to nurturing and developing new genres, art forms and mediums
presents ART!@*<>WORK an art exhibition exploring the tension between the
art of doing work and the work of doing art.
This show will take place in the cubicles of a midtown Manhattan office
space. Fifteen artists will transform and exhibit projects inspired by the
act of doing work and the spaces created for working. Visitors will be
invited to explore and interact with the space during office hours.

machines, and needlepoint.
Sabrina Gschwandtner sewing thread and paper drawings on the machine
installed in her cubicle.

installation of work clothes and electronic office supplies.

out of Sculpy clay and wax.

office supplies.

taken from local office spaces.
The group N.I.N.E will launch a new addition to their urban exploration

Visitors will be invited to take part in the game throughout the show.
