The Museum of Ridiculously Interesting Things is not a physical place, but an online collection and discussion of the art, objects, ideas and history that contemporary curators, artists and critics find deeply, genuinely, thoroughly, RIDICULOUSLY interesting. It is a slightly tongue-in-cheek anthology of the marvellous, bizarre, exciting, intriguing and inspiring things of the world, paired with conversation around contemporary art and its institutions.
The MofRIT is produced by Chelsea Nichols, Head Curator of Ridiculously Interesting Things. Chelsea is a doctoral candidate at the University of Oxford, where she is writing a thesis on monstrous bodies in contemporary art and their relationship with the history of exhibiting curiosities. She is an aspiring curator who has worked in galleries across the UK, Canada and NZ.
Your blog is always such a great read! :-)
Chelsea… Oh my goodness…
Imagine my surprise when I saw that you had ‘liked’ my Anatomy of Keys post, considering I had only, very recently, decided to resurrect my old WordPress blog. Your blog is not just ridiculously interesting… it is also freaking RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME.
I miss you.
I have added this blog to my blog roll. Keep in touch however way you can (I am no longer on Facebook) and maybe, one day, if my art manages to reach a much broader audience outside of the few regular readers I have, you will curate my stuff? Hehehe… oh dreams. :-)
xo,

wonderful blog, amazing images and insight.
My wife and I are having tea with your grandmother Wednesday evening, 30th May, and she encouraged me to check your website. Your grandfather, George Nichols, and I were colleagues and friends at Mount Allison between 1978 and 1984. I just retired as a university professor in Tokyo and now we are on the process of retiring in Halifax. Your grandmother sends her love and enjoyed her video conversation yesterday. Best wishes from Sackville.
