102 (+ 1 blank) heavy paper playing cards printed recto and verso laid into a 6 x 5 x 1 ½' Corian box, profusely illustrated in color. Designed by Pae White. 'When a creative problem can't be solved directly, solutions might be found by approaching the task from an unusual direction; by using Oblique Strategies'. Updating yet again Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's iconic 1975 project, this Fourth Revised and More Universal Edition features the added collaborative efforts of artist/graphic designer Pae White, art collector/philanthropist Peter Norton, and Berlitz Translation Services. Issued as the 1996 Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, this limited edition multiple has reenvisioned its austere black and white predecessors as a vibrant visual object whose set of 'worthwhile dilemmas' has been transformed into a riot of color, translated into Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Russian and Arabic, and housed in an ultra-cool biomorphic Corian case.
