Want to be part of the modern WPA ?
March 25, 2010The Work Office (TWO) is now hiring!
Visit www.theworkoffice.com to apply. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis through April 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 storefront office, TWO’s administrators will hire employees, exhibit work, and distribute Depression-era wages during weekly Payday Parties. You are invited to submit an application online, choosing from one of the following assignments:
Build a bridge
Document a need for repairs
Make a regional travel guide for your block or neighborhood
Record an oral history
Reinterpret a newspaper photograph
Design a poster to promote something
Catalog existing WPA structures in New York
Make a mixed CD related to…
Give a concert for your houseplant
Start an American tradition that you’d like to be preserved
Assign yourself
A TWO administrator will contact and interview applications of interest.
Once hired, you will have a week to complete your assignment, for which you will be paid $23.50, the weekly wage for an artist in the Federal One Project (the arts division of the WPA).
TWO will hold a Payday Party at the office at the end of each work week: April 23, May 7, and May 21. Employees will collect their wages and the public will be invited to view the week’s works and learn about the project.
We are accepting applications on a rolling basis through April 30, 2010. Please visit our website
www.theworkoffice.com for details and an application. Questions? Write us at: apply@theworkoffice.com
The Work Office (TWO) is made possible by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space
program; project space at 156 William Street is donated by Capstone Equities. Additional funds are provided by a grant from the Black Rock Arts Foundation and donations from generous individuals.

Another Wendy Paton exhibit opened
March 25, 2010at Joyce Towbin Chasan Art Source International Gallery at 333 Park Ave. So., NYC, NY 10010, 212 228 5908. This one is so different from the Visaes De Nuit exhibit at the Sous Les Etoiles Gallery of B&W almost abstract soft focus portraits.
in this exhibit Wendy concentrates on the city Paris, France where she has spend a lot of her time, showing us its wonderful Carousel from many different angles which brings back memories of anyone who’s visited Paris. Least we forget the prints of I.M.Pei’s the Louve Pyramid which brought memories of mary’s and my stay just three blocks away on our visit.
Included some of my favorites of those fascinating French hallways. I had only a passing remembrances of them from the french movies of the sixties but here Wendy has captured them in beautiful B&W prints . Anyone who has had an apartment in paris will remember what i am talking about. alas there are no pictures to show you because wendy never sent any over to me.
Joyce Towbin Chasan always has such a warm welcome feeling in her gallery. We first met her during Aneta Barto’s exhibit for Emmanuel Fremin’s gallery who was showing at Joyce’s space. i feel comfortable as if i am in my own living room at her space. mary and i both love talking with her. she seems to be one of those few people who have an open heart and generous nature at least easy to talk to.
also talked with Tracey Henry of Type A Media who had some great suggestions for mary’s and mine Labor of love pic wedding and maternity business. so who knew or knows whom or what they will find once they venture out of their confines? one of the topics of conversations Tracey and i had were about there being no difference between giving and receiving, they both are the same thing.
not a bad evening at all, i’d say a pretty good one.
