Office hours are open at ‘The Bureau of Happiness’, a fictional office plastered with absurd inspirational posters, copious memos about employee well-being, and handmade ceramics that speak to the workaday grind. Inspired by his day job as a “corporate lawyer drone”, Mark Schroder’s colourful corporate installation takes aim at the aspirational cliches companies use to motivate their workers.
