FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC DESIGN: INTERIM REPORT
RE: Found objects, materials and arcane constructions



The Department of Public Design announced today that an ambiguous assortment of seemingly unrelated objects recently uncovered in Zone 5
, will be assessed by the Council of Architects to determine their nature, origin, and meaning.  The Council will attempt to assemble these objects in order to apprise their adherence to the Department's current Standards of Dogma for the public domain.

The Council's
findings will be on display this summer at Form + Content Gallery in Minneapolis, MN.  The public is invited to view this presentation and encouraged to respond with alternate explanations and interpretations for consideration by the Council, after which a final report will be prepared for the Department's purview.

While the Department cannot be reached in any manner for information or questioning, the findings of this ongoing investigation can be found at the a designated project website@
