From Wikipedia:

N.E. Thing Co. was a Canadian art collective producing work from 1967-1978. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia., N.E. Thing Co. was run by co-presidents Iain and Ingrid Baxter.

Seminal figures in the emergence of conceptual art movement in Canada during the late sixties, NE. Thing Co. used corporate strategies to generate and frame its artistic practice.

Awesome geological chart, in a rock / crystal / fossils / butterflies / skeletons shop in Amsterdam – Stenelux.
