Homes for Things / Things for Homes is a long term project with TACO! in Thamesmead, London around sculpture and the home. Evolving from a simple idea to give sculptures to local people in Thamesmead to live with, it has developed into long conversations around sculpture and the social life of objects. Why is it that so few people have what we might call sculpture in their homes? Do our objects become domesticated? Does sculpture need a public? What is it that makes something sculpture or sculptural?
The project has resulted in a series of five 30min audio works for radio broadcast (Conversation Pieces), a series of twelve sculpture given to people and an artist book published in 2022 by Rooftop Press and Taco! (see below)

Organic Sound Society was started by Maarit Bau Mustonen and James Prevett as a loose collective for people with no musical training who want to make sound together. It meets regularly to play and sets up their instruments in other spaces for others to enjoy and play together.
The instruments have also been shown in several exhibitions with instructions that people can play them together.
