AMP's picture

With support from Times Square Arts, The Work Office (TWO) is hiring artists
to create and present public projects in Times Square during the week of
October 2-8, 2011. TWO is accepting applications through June 30th.

The Work Office (TWO) is a multidisciplinary art project disguised as an
employment agency. Informed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of
the Great Depression in the 1930s, TWO is a gesture to "make work" for
visual and performing artists, writers, and others by giving them simple,
idea-based assignments that explore, document, and improve daily life in New
York City. From a temporary, publicly accessible office in Times Square,
TWO's administrators will hire employees, exhibit work, and distribute
Depression-era wages at a Payday Party.

TWO is a project of artists Katarina Jerinic and Naomi Miller

To take advantage of the unique opportunity offered by Times Square Arts,
