This collection of more than thirty texts, which were originally published between 1790 and the present day, explores man’s rich relationship with material things. Devised largely in response to the gradual breakdown of the divide between art and design that began over a century ago, this book sheds light on the ways that the concept of the thing as idea has been considered over time. Published to coincide with the exhibition Quiz 2 In Mudam Luxembourg, curated by Robert Stadler, where unrecognizable things from the world of design and art were shown in the form of a quiz. The book highlights the variety of contexts from which such 'things' originate.
