“Day Job’s real triumph is the concise interconnected show-within-a-show curated by Beth Malone and Courtney Hammond, the duo behind Dashboard Co-op. The four assembled artists, Nikita Gale, Andrew Hammond, Takuro Masuda, and Matt Sigmon, fugue on endless hours logged staring at hypnotic computer screens, the office slave insubordination of illicit photocopying and the empty pleasantries and busy work BS of office “culture” shared around the water cooler. 100,000 Cubicle Hours conveys workday tedium in terse, visually appealing artworks. The workplace supporting cast of the copy machine, water cooler, desk, and phone detail an architecture anyone who has labored can relate to: the iron bars of the soft-bellied First World’s prison. Where the rest of Day Job plays the field, flitting from work-is-hell to work-is-inspiration to work-just-is, this meta-show benefits from a honed-in approach and cleanly executed work that cuts to the chase.” -Felicia Feaster
