David Shapiro's cast bronze pistachio nuts

I spotted these in Front Room's area at Fountain last month.

I love the pricing structure:

  • $90 nut only (no shell)
  • $90 empty half shell
  • $150 empty full shell
  • $175 shell containing nut

He has a show at Pierogi 2000 opening on Friday, titled "Iraq Rock," described thusly

This exhibition will feature an 8-by-8 foot tabletop model of a hypothetical benefit concert, Rock Iraq, which doesn't exist but quite possibly could. It is a concert with corporate logos but no sponsors, no musicians, and no music. It exists as a tabletop model to American ambiguity, assuaging guilt, displaying compassion, condemning failure, and inventing triumph.
