Bureau of Apology: An Interactive Art Project by Brent Birnbaum With Readings by A Public Space authors Ned Beauman, Catherine Chung, and Jonathan Lee

Welcome. Come on in. Leave your sins behind.
The Bureau of Apology is, at first glance, simply an office. Looks are deceiving and patterns can be quickly deciphered as a murky kind of bureaucratic hell begins to emerge. Visitors will be asked to participate in a progressive set of tasks, including the decision to reveal (or conceal) an innermost truth. Contributing writers to the literary journal A Public Space will act as shepherds of the unconscious, guiding them through this fascinating piece of environmental art.
This event is free and open to the public.
