“Commissioned by DISC, Office Party was invited to develop a pair of events to celebrate the launch of the publication’s second issue centered around the theme of intimacy. The two events, one hosted in New York City and the other in Los Angeles, explore opposing models of intimacy unique to two common party environments: the dance and the dinner party. The respectively loud and quiet spaces of each gathering calibrate the terms of interpersonal engagement—how close do you need to be to speak with someone, what kind of body language is appropriate, what can other people see you do, and what can slide unnoticed, masked by the distractions of the party.”
