Book Synopsis The Bureau of Suspended Objects: Objects in Use by : Jenny Odell
Book excerpt: This book accompanies "The Bureau of Suspended Objects" installation at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, opening January 28. The objects in this book correspond to the second section of the display: objects that belong to me or that I grew up with at my parents’ house. They come from bookshelves, desks, attics, and shoeboxes, and have been owned long enough to have acquired some emotional value – thus becoming more than an anonymous product at the store. However, it’s possible that this aura of meaning is visible only to their owners.
