| Abstract: | Published by Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections to coincide with Carson & Miller’s exhibition The Story of Things, this bookwork explores the artefacts held by Special Collections and the North West Film Archive. The result is a bespoke scrap album which draws out the threads of Carson & Miller’s wanderings through this museum and archive, gathering together a narrative of their experience which mirrors that of the visitor and reveals the infinite possibility of the material gathered there. This book includes the essay On Being Touched by Patricia Allmer. In this essay Allmer explores the context and activity of Carson & Miller’s practice (ISBN: 978-1-905476-44-2). Scrapbook (the story of things) was exhibited as part of Carson & Miller’s curatorial work/exhibition The Story of Things (2009-10) for Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections. For more information regarding the collections go to www.specialcollections.mmu.ac.uk. Since it’s publication the book has been collected by Chetham’s Library, Manchester and the Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England, as well as by a number of private collectors. Scrapbook (the story of things) was funded by Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections. |
