This blog started in Sep 2010, to capture stories from my home village Höfen in Southern Germany, where I was going to live again for one year. I’m now living back in London, and I keep thinking about what is rural.
I had the name of Aida Bosch in my notes since I read about her on a mail out from akademie c/o, announcing her talk on the relevance of human-object-interactions. Googling her name now – with the upcoming RHYZOM publication in mind – it turns out that she’s a professor at Erlangen University, which is only 30 miles from here. I met her this morning to talk about a possible contribution for the book to do with the role of the object in teh International Village Shop. We swapped goods, her recent book “Consumption and Exlusion” for a Frogbutterspoon and a Doily Bag from the Höfer Goods series.
