As part of Kym Maxwell's Objects of Longing, a multi-disciplinary project made with students at Dandenong Primary School during 2018, Objects are a Limbic System Embrace the Logic was presented in MUMA’s Ian Potter Sculpture Court in February 2019.

This live theatre work was developed by Maxwell, students and staff in collaboration with artists Daniel Jenatsch (sound), Georgina Criddle (writer) and Rebecca Jensen (choreographer). It drew on the students’ research and ideas about collecting and the role of collecting during play and captures their imagination and creativity in a delicate and magical configuration of dialogue, movement, costumes and props.

Objects are a Limbic System Embrace the Logic was first performed for family and friends at Dandenong Primary School in late 2018.

Kym Maxwell participated in Shapes of Knowledge at Monash University Museum of Art, 9 February – 13 April 2019.
