The Garage Sale is a Metaphor for the Mind


This series of essays, conversations and texts are quite useful as a starting point for other ideas and directions. For me, key texts in particular book THE EVERYDAY were:
  1. Occupation of Places //1968//Jean-Jacques Leveque
  2. The Everyday: A Conversation//2000//David A. Ross and Nicholas Serota
  3. Walking in Margins//2002//Michel Maffesoli
  4. The Poetics of The Derive//2001//Vincent Kaufmann
  5. Calling from the Inside: Filmic Topo;ogies of the Everyday//2007//Tom McDonough
  6. Inside/Out//1994//Abigail Solomon-Godeau
  7. The Garage Sale is a Metaphor for the Mind//2005//Marthaa Rosler
  8. To argue for a video of representation. To argue for a video against the mythology of everyday life//1977//Martha Rosler
  9. Escape Attempts//1973//Lucy R. Lippard
  10. Clearing the Ground//1961//Henri Lefebvre
These are good, quick references for somewhere to start/to get the ball rolling if you are interested in various aspects of the everyday.
