So here is how Elsewhere works.

I am working on designing several games derived from the collection here that function around sorting, combining, and recombining (microcosms of the larger Elsewhere experience). Yesterday I was cooped up in my room working out preliminary designs for a simple, geometric game board. I kept letting myself get distracted by minor things and wasn’t really making much progress.

Later on, I had to get my picture taken for the website. I put on a funny hat from the collection (like you do) and quickly grabbed a scarf to go with it. After having my portrait taken while wearing a propeller hat and listening to “Barracuda” (like you do), I took off the scarf and got a better look at it. Welp, there’s my game board—straight from the collection, which is even better. Thanks, Vera Neumann.

Moral of the story? Hey, try leaving your room sometime.

Yesterday I arrived in Greensboro, NC for a residency at Elsewhere, a former thrift/surplus store turned living museum. I’ll be spending the next 5 weeks exploring and interacting with the collections, thinking about the lives of objects and materials, working on projects and installations, and documenting stuff here.

Got my friend Yijin’s portfolio exchange, Playground, in the mail. Most importantly, there was a bunch of Korean candy in the box.

Government Printing Office Visit

Senior Conservator Jana Dambrogio was invited to the bindery of the Government Printing Office (GPO) to capture impressions of their early brass decorative finishing tools. Dambrogio documented over 379 tools (69 brass rolls and over 310 stamps, gouges, and fillets) used by the bindery since before the civil war to the present day. Many of the tool’s marks are found on hand-made bindings that were fabricated by the GPO bindery for many federal agencies. These bindings have been subsequently deposited in the holdings of the National Archives.
