Salt and Pepper Shakers [Norton Family Christmas Project 2007 : Nina Katchadourian]

description

Multiple by Nina Katchadourian produced by the Peter Norton Family as their 2007 Christmas Project sent to friends and artworld colleagues. Comprised of a set of salt and pepper shakers that function like snow globes."This salt shaker merges two familiar objects. It smuggles the tiny spectacle of a snow dome into a domestic context where treating this object in the normal manner (turning it upside down to shake the salt out) results in a sudden small-scale blizzard. Its partner, the pepper shaker, behaves the same way but its particulate matter suggests another kind of phenomenon (pollution, debris, ashes), one more man-made and less pristine. This pair of objects is intended to lie dormant, camouflaged into the landscape of the kitchen counter, until the landscapes they each contain are shaken to life." -- publisher's statement. Includes the multiple by Katchadourian, a card introducing the artist and project, and a sealed Christmas card in an envelope.
