THE THING Quarterly is a 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 a useful 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. Past contributors include Miranda July, Jonathan Lethem, Trisha Donnelly, and Tucker Nichols.THE THING’s current year of subscriptions (issues 10-13) will begin with an issue by writer/radio personality (most notably from This American Life) Starlee Kine; and continue with issues by visual artist Chris Johanson; the clothing design collaborative DOO.RI; and end with an issue by Matthew Higgs.
