Further details
Each of the four curators adds another item to their gallery.
Lee Mack brings in boredom, because we now have so much stuff to keep us entertained we no longer daydream and that hampers our imaginations.
Sally Philips donates things that are so mediocre that they won't be remembered otherwise. She would also like to celebrate the attempt to make these mediocre things. Examples include poor quality drawings of the panel found online.
Jo Brand offers up the smell of an estate agent, to go with the smell of coffee which is also in her gallery. This is connected to people's efforts to make ourselves seem better than we actually are.
Jimmy Carr provides laughter. According to a Now Magazine survey in 2014, Jimmy has the second-most annoying laugh. First on the list was Cameron Diaz.
