ABC Office, 2023



ABC OFFICE was an installation by the Artists’ Books Cooperative (ABC) at Filet, London, between 27 – 30 April 2023, which provided an interactive exploration of office culture.

This anonymous work environment inviteds visitors to engage with artist-made pieces that reflect themes such as office conventions, bureaucracy, co-working, and print culture, often referred to as the ‘aesthetics of administration.’

The exhibition features a range of artworks, from paperweights to crushed filing cabinets. Visitors can interact with these pieces, enjoy a drink from the water cooler, practice their golf putt, or relax to ambient office sounds while sitting in a swivel chair.

The project kicked off with the Office Party on April 27, featuring boxed wine, pineapple, cheese, and party anthems.
