things magazine | things weblog . About objects and their meanings

(From "About") 

Things magazine was originally founded in 1994 by a group of writers and historians based at the Victoria & Albert Museum/Royal College of Art. things embodies the belief that objects can open up new ways of understanding the world, building on MA research and taking a curatorial eye out into the world. We’re now an independent magazine, a home for new writing – essays, reviews, short stories and poems – about objects and their meanings. This website began as a way of promoting the magazine but evolved into a regular weblog from September 2001. The site also contains photography galleries, special projects, searchable archives, ten years of weblog posts and the occasional on-line only article. To order back issues of the magazine or read our archives (1 through to 19-20), visit our archive page. To buy, click on ‘add to basket’ and our friends at PayPal will handle the rest. Our printing schedule used to be biannual, but now it’s just occasional. This means you can’t subscribe any more, but if you’d like to be notified of new issues, drop us a line and we’ll keep you up to date. The latest issue, 19-20, is now available to buy."
