Work is Play

The Work Is Play Administration is an artist collective group based out of Cincinnati. The Administration collaborates to cover topics of the personal, political, artistic, and beyond in mediums both physical and digital.

Our group show uses the archetype of an office desk to explore sculpture and alternative design methods. The work is presented on a “prop” desk and chair and features a variety of objects- with a focus on material exploration, speculative, discursive, and sculptural methods.

The Administration is proud to announce our latest venture into the practice of social sculpture. Leaving behind the materiality and limitations of Zine publishing and art objects, we have expanded into the ripe field of privatized Intelligence Agencies. After months of training, power grabs, and propaganda, we present to you a new branch of the Administration: Work Is Play Administration Intelligence Institution. (WIPAii)
