Blame Accountants set up impromptu “headquarters” in areas where there is a high frequency of collective blame--Ground Zero, the Republican National Convention, the Democratic National Convention and Wall Street.  Sitting unassumingly at a desk with a typewriter and red phone, Blame Accountants invite passersby to blame, record, and
reflect. Who has wronged you?  What does it mean to take accountability for the actions—or inactions-of people, groups, and systems that have wronged you?

The Office of Blame Accountability, a highly revealing and original look at the culture of finger pointing in America today. In the book, chief Blame Accountants, artists Carla Repice and Geoff Cunningham, make public for the first time the forms filled out by Americans across the country.  They provide an intimate look at the mindset of a country beleaguered by war, the drama of national politics, and the collapse of financial markets—as well as the more private and personal dilemmas that we each carry with us.
