Brought to us by FOUND and curated by Sarah Locke, FOUND's senior editor, the Intellectual Heritage Program hosts an exhibition of FOUND and the material culture and stories of cities, and the people who live in them.
From FOUND:
So, what’s this all about?
We collect found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids’ homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles– anything that gives a glimpse into someone else’s life. Anything goes.
We certainly didn’t invent the idea of found stuff being cool. Every time we visit our friends in other towns, someone’s always got some kind of unbelievable discovered note or photo on their fridge. We decided to make a bunch of projects so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people have picked up and passed our way.
