Research - David Fullerton

David Fullerton did a fantastic and amusing installation piece called "What I do at work when I'm supposed to be working" that is art pieces created during his work hours. The pieces are very much an exploration into the workings of his mind, his identity and probably summarise the way many of us feel during work.

His contribution was part of a larger project run in Texas that asked for help from various artists and companies. It was to highlight the need for arts in the daily life and to look at what keeps us hanging onto reality and what distracts us. Fullarton exhibited in Houston radio station offices and made his work solely from office supplies to tie into the theme more. They explore the comedic tragedy of the daily slog that many of us endure at work.

It has since been made into a book too and I've included some images of the layout below as I see my own project becoming a book at some point and I really like how he's designed the layout and how it ties to the theme of the project.

The installation was clever because by doing it in offices, it kept it very realistic and immersed the viewers into it more and could relate them to their own working lives or the ones we see documented so often on television and in movies.
