Lists: To-dos

Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Archives of American Art runs until September 2010, at the Lawrence A Fleischman Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. A must visit.

This very mundane and ubiquitous form of documentation can tell you a great deal about somebody's personal biography, where they've been and where they're going. People can relate to this form of documentation because so many people are list keepers and organise their lives this way.
