all sides by walls plastered with scores of images culled from Salter's collection of graphic icons. Icons From the beginning, Salter's gallery installations have included a variety of stylized images, often referred to as "icons", but perhaps more properly called pictograms. Executed in the simple, generic, black and white style of international signage, they seem at first familiar, yet their surrealistic content defies explanation. In the words of one reviewer, by parodying the near ubiquity of corporate logotypes and institutional style graphics, Salter "calls attention to what he calls the 'invisible fabric' of random, banal images and objects which threatens to smother us with its mind-numbing profusion." Sculptures and kinetic sculptures "The chair as a symbol of authority has literally been turned on its head," said critic Woody Holliman of Salter's circa 2000 work l'arc des'chaises, an "anti-heroic spectacle" of ten small plastic children's chairs bolted together in a semi-circle and flipped upside down. Two years later, the kinetic sculpture epilepsony featured recorded music with a vibrating figure on a tray under bright light. Pick Me A Winner, in 2008, literally embodied its title, as a motorized finger relentlessly aimed for a small molded nose. Disembodied appendages also feature in Finger Lickin' Good: a tiny kinetic sculpture in which "the pointed finger rotates on a single axis gently brushing against a tiny rubber tongue. The rubber tongue slightly bounces when it licks the finger, coming to a complete stop before lickin' again." Installations Jeff Bailey Gallery Salter has exhibited works in solo and group shows nationally and internationally. His 2008 show at the Jeff Bailey Gallery in New York was reviewed in the October issue of Art in America that year. The show, entitled Are You Sure, featured a variety of elements from his ouvre, including the fourteen foot tall Styrobot, a series of digital C-prints titled Situations Unknown depicting empty suburban landscapes containing a single improbable element, and a collection of porcelain figurines dubbed Subzer-o: a series of static humanoid figures, each branded with its own logo, packaging, and text describing its particular depressing attributes. BLK/MRKT Gallery Informatics and The Styrobot Face Off, an installation at BLK/MRKT Gallery in 2006, included a central space filled with two opposing Styrobots mirroring each other's aggressive posturing. Grouped around these oversize figures were a number of smaller works in a variety of media: lighted panels displaying Salter's "spoofs" on graphic design and
