02 · The Opening

Twenty objects entered circulation

The First Opening established the earliest working form of the Archive: objects released without complete explanation, accompanied by records intended to grow through discovery and return.

Each Discovery carried an invitation to notice the object itself, its materials, the record attached to it, and whatever associations began to form after it entered someone else’s care.

The objects were not intended to arrive complete.
