The fourth and final component of this exhibition series brings together real and imagined bureaucratic forms, collated into a tidy presentation packet. The email chains, tardy slips, applications, contracts and historical documents submitted for the publication respond to and poke fun at the chronic futility of paperwork, the sterility of its language and the discriminatory tactics embedded in the form. With an essay by Third Object and an interview with Philip von Zweck.

§§§§§
A Rule By Nobody is an exploration of the boredoms, frustrations and pleasures of bureaucratic routines. Drawing its title from Hannah Arendt’s definition of bureaucracy, the exhibition takes the bored energy of office labor and channels it into a multipart dive into the sublimely overflowing inbox, the inky warm Xerox room, the balled up wads of red tape, and the moments of escape that punctuate the droning beige sameness of nine to five.
A Rule by Nobody is composed of a two-part group exhibition in Sector 2337’s rear project space, a video screening, a live performance, and a printed publication. The exhibition is organized by Third Object, a roving curatorial collective based in Chicago. The show is organized under the Fall Curatorial Residency at Sector 2337.
