The Bureau of Suspended Objects at the Palo Alto Art Center

Jenny Odell2016
This is a catalog of the objects archived by the Bureau of Suspended Objects while it operated at the Palo Alto Art Center in the summer of 2016. Visitors contributed "pre-trash" (unwanted items they meant to eventually get rid of anyway) and filled out detailed questionnaires about their objects. This book combines that information with the Bureau's customary research into manufacturing origins, materials, etc.
