Everything Was Interesting Badge
Birmingham, UK: Ikon Gallery, [nd]
size unknown
Edition size unknown
Twenty-two years ago Ikon Gallery presented the first exhibition of Kelly Mark’s work in the United Kingdom. The title came from something Mark casually said to the curator years prior. The phrase was printed onto thousands of buttons which were distributed for free to visitors of the gallery.
My friend KR just informed me of this response piece, which I’m certain was not intended as a memorial to Mark, but functions nicely as one.
There’s almost no information about the work (on the Ikon site, or elsewhere, that I could find). I’m guessing that they published it, but it could’ve been self-published by the artist.
They’re priced at a pound and I want one, but fear that shipping costs would be way more than the work itself.
