Salt Shakers An Art Exhibit by Mostafa Hamidi
Press release from: Queen Gallery
Has no salt in head (Italian)
Write it in salt (Slovenian)
Salt of the earth (English)
Throw salt in the water to avoid bad luck (Persian)
*traditions of folklore
In today's society, people are beginning to fear the presence of salt in their foods. The traditional prominent place of the saltshaker on the kitchen table is declining and with it disappears the tradition of folklore, expressions and superstitions. I tried to give the saltshaker a new role as both a functional and artistic object in an attempt to preserve these traditions.

October 06- October 18, 2011 Tuesday – Wednesday – Friday 11:30 am–6:30 pm Thursday 1:30-8:30 pm Saturday 3:30-6:30 pm Sunday & Monday by appointment only Please call 416 361 6045
Opening reception:
Thursday Oct 06, 2011, 6:30-9:00 pm

Comments about openPR
OpenPR ist the nicest and most clearly laid out PR platform I have seen to this day. The press releases are displayed very nicely and clearly and without any unnecessary frills.
The updates are fast and the finished release looks appealing and is clearly legible.
Even with 16 years of experience one discovers new things from time to time.
Congratulations!
