A Tour Of Uninteresting Objects

THIS Saturday sees the first Manchester Tour of Uninteresting Objects. 

Jonathan Schofield - the editor of the contemporary, engaging and rewarding organ you're presently reading - will be leading the tour.

Of course what makes something 'uninteresting' or not is the ultimate in subjectivity. 

Yet it's a fertile subject. And a tour based on it means attention can be focussed away from the obvious bits and bobs of city life. 

Thus the Tour of Uninteresting Objects concentrates on the often ignored elements that make a city. It reveals odd sculptures, mad details, washed up remnants, bits of things, the quirky residue of activity.

Sometimes the uninteresting object in question might be tiny, sometimes it might be huge, it could be hidden or obvious. It could even be a mini-skirt or an E-type Jag or a chip barm.  

What is guaranteed is that the tour is different from any other taking place in the North at present.

There are two tours planned in comming weeks. The first is on Saturday 8 October at 3pm, the second is on Saturday 19 November at 3pm. The tours cover different routes and will be a metaphysical spin through the mundane and very special. Meet on Mosley Street outside Manchester Art Gallery at 3pm. Price £6. Prebook by emailing jgschofield@btinternet.com or through www.jonathanschofieldtours.com
