The Wellcome Collection have instigated a quite spectacularly named 'bring-a-thing-athon' for their next artist-led exhibition, Things. Intriguingly, you can bring them anything between 12 and 19 October as long as it's smaller than your head (although the small print says you can't lend or donate wet specimens, human remains or explosives. Boring.)
I fear that there will be a flood of tears arising from rejected 'things'!...Sounds a bit like just another 'X' Factor project? (sorry if that sounds cynical)...the 'Thing' factor. Interesting though...draws attention to the notion of objects as 'agents'?
