One of our favorite exhibition titles from 2012 was
Ten Years of Things
at the University of Queensland Art Museum.

As a bonus, the printed invitation characterised this exhibition as an Actor of Regard:
"Ten Years of Things looks atthe open-ended approach artists are taking to..."
Today, the latest issue of Art Monthly Australia arrived. Of interest to bLOGOS/HA HA is an article by Ruark Lewis :
Anubhava & the politics of thingsAn Index for Max Lieberman
A definition of anubhava provided by Max Lieberman is quoted in a footnote:
Anubhava is an ancient Indian Sanskrit word that means direct knowledge through experience or realisation. It also refers to intuition, feeling, emotion and consciousness.
bLOGOS/HA HA is interested in such ideas and experience - of direct perception unmediated by conception.
Rather than here risking an unhelpful reduction of the Lewis index, you might wish to read it yourself (Art Monthly) and visit the Max Lieberman website (here) from where this drawing is reproduced.
One Hundred Years of ] looking at ( Things
bLOGOS/HA HA has a small collection of French rebus - from res, Latin for thing. We are surprised that this form is so little known among the Anglo artists and writers of whom we've enquired.
Here, from the archive of our Paris Bureau, as mentioned recently, is a rebus from around a century ago.
