About

THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors (Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped at a wrapping party and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.

THE THING’s current year of subscriptions ( issues 5-8 ) will begin with an issue by the visual artist Lucy Pullen. The subscription year will continue with issues by visual artists Allora & Calzadilla, the writer Jonathan Lethem, and experimental geographer, artist and writer Trevor Paglen.
