INFORMATION GLADLY GIVEN BUT SAFETY REQUIRES AVOIDING...

"I borrowed this absurd phrase from a sign posted on the conductor’s booth in the Washington, D.C. subway. The language of civil service here borders on unintentional parody, with its blankly polite tone and bureaucratic single-mindedness. I.G.G.B.S.R.A.U.C. revisits my 1992 tape, Nation, and features a dense chorus of faces and voices. These strangers ask us to consider the question, 'Who is the public?'"
