Catalogue of the tea spoon collection exhibition
I’ve been obsessed with tea spoons for a long time. Now it’s time for you to go. The exhibition aims at rethinking the perception of ordinary things in the context of their history.
What do you mean, a spoon for a modern man?
In ancient times, the Slavs in the Wyatt Province bound together the spoons of the groom and the bride, saying, «As these spoons are tied firm and firm, so the young ones would be connected to each other.» The spoon symbolizes the image of man and the woman’s beginning. Now it’s nothing more than a canteen.
However, a common object can easily become special, associated with history, man, place.
We don’t want to give up memories, so we keep different, often unnecessary things in our home. But what if we gave these memories a single form? Identify for them an object, a vessel, and concentrate in one place. A spoon from a trip, a spoon from a man, a spoon from that time. Like a photo album or autobiography, just a spoon.
When you come to the exhibition, you can not only study the collection but also contribute to it.
If you bring any tea spoon, you can exchange it. What is important is to fulfil the basic condition of making it special. To do this, you have to attach a little self/book story.
Each of the more than 120 spoons keeps its own history.
