Finland’s Unnamed Islands, 2000, by Nina Katchadourian
Paper map fragments between microscope slides on aluminum shelves, 1 foot x 8 feet

I cut out hundreds of islands that were nameless from an atlas of Finland. These clusters were placed between microscope slides on long aluminum shelves.

I am partial to this because of my heritage, but also because it is awesome! One of the few standout pieces in the otherwise laborious but predictable show Slash: Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Art and Design.
