The Museum of Everyday Life announces the opening of its new exhibition, "Life in Lists and Notes" on Saturday July 17th, from 1-6pm. The Museum's goal is the slow-motion cataloging of life via material things of no monetary value but immense consequence. With this exhibition we look at the role of lists and notes in our lives. We celebrate the poetic, mnemonic, narrative and enumerative qualities of lists and notes, and explore their myriad creative, professional, bureaucratic, institutional, domestic, and personal uses throughout the ages. All kinds of lists and notes will be on display, in addition to our ever-expanding permanent collection of everyday life objects. At this opening day celebration there will be live music and performances from itinerant musicians Adam Cook and Tomas Majcherski, local farmer-performers Maria Schumann and Ira Karp, dancer/vaudevillian Maura Gahan, poet and animatrix Meredith Holch, music by Pavi Mehta and Polash Chowdhury, and a special premier performance of a new piece for lawn-mower and vocalists by composer Glenn Weyant. Manifestos, snacks and beverages will be served. Admission by donation.
