Museum of Matches (Proteotypes 2011) acts as a “pocket museum” of images and narrative text from Sasha Chavchavadze’s Museum of Matches project, that explored the Cold War and its legacy of nuclear arms. Both a family memoir and an interdisciplinary art project, the book draws parallels between past and present and different parts of the world, incorporating visual art, photographs, documents and artifacts. A visual record of the eight-year Museum of Matches project, the book opens windows into several moments in history, including the Russian Revolution and the Cold War, with a focus on Chavchavadze’s understanding of her father's career as a Cold War CIA operative. The Museum of Matches book is in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum.
