    Nina Katchadourian

    Installation image of Rock Family Tree, 1998

    Portrait-style photographs of various rocks on Katchadourian's family's summer property in Finland, which the artist then arranged into a family tree structure. On one side, the rocks grow increasingly proximious to human presence and even turn into things like benches; on the other, the rocks grow increasingly distant, "loner rocks" who leave land behind and head out to sea.

    30 photographs, each 4 x 6 inches, in handmade frames with wooden connecting network

    Handheld Subway, 1996

    C-print

    20 x 15 inches unframed
    21 x 16 inches framed

    MORE about this artwork

    This work is a dissected paper map of the New York subway system. Katchadourian made this at the same time she was collecting a lot of loose audio tape found on the streets of New York (see Songs of the Islands).  This image renders the subway network into something that looks like just another piece of tangled trash on the ground.

    Installation view, Paranormal Postcards, 2001 and ongoing

    Mounted postcards, red sewing thread, red graphic tape on wall

    MORE about this artwork

    An ongoing project, at present consisting of over 200 postcards, where various elements in the image are connected by stitching through the card with red sewing thread. The cards are then grouped, and the groups are then connected via an elaborate network of dotted red lines made of graphic tape applied to the wall. A "world view" of extreme and almost paranoid interconnectedness emerges. As with many of my map works and chart pieces, the project seems to suggest some underlying coherent research or guiding principal, but the piece ultimately speaks more about taxonomy itself.

     

    Each time the project is exhibited, Katchadourian incorporates postcards from the city or town where it is on view so that people can recognize a local point of entry. This project began as a response to a long layover with a postcard purchase from a gift shop in the Olso airport in 1998.
