Institute of Cultural Inquiry
"Objects of interest to Institute Associates have included photographs taken by W.G. Sebald, newspaper articles about AIDS, taxidermied and pickled mammals including monkey heads, a manual of lost ideas, found footage from a 1945 film, sound mirrors, the Narrenturm, video projections with a president apologizing for everything, mystic writing pads, and dream-dredging devices. Systems and methods of thought that have guided Institute research include excavation, curation, hypnotism, souveniring, animal and botanical revisionism, ventriloquism, divination, aerial navigation, and museum installation."
The AIDS Chronicles project is interesting.
