Kelly Mark





I’m gutted to miss this Kelly Mark take-over of the city, organized by Olga Korper Gallery, and artist Anthony Cooper who represent Kelly’s estate. 
 

"Everything & Nothing is a multi-site survey exhibition highlighting the influential work of the late conceptual artist Kelly Mark. The project is anchored by a wide-spanning solo exhibition hosted by Olga Korper Gallery (Oct 4 - Nov 1, 2025) who continues to represent Mark’s estate. Everything & Nothing will also take place across a number of other venues around the city with a cascading sequence of events, screenings, and presentations that hone in on distinct qualities of Mark’s career and interests.

Mark was known for isolating moments of the everyday in ways that were unpretentious, unglamourous but full of warmth, ritual, and wit. Time, duration, measurement, and process are essential focal points in Mark’s multidisciplinary practice. Time’s governance of our reality, especially its undeniable grasp over working class experiences, is a central concern in her oeuvre. Each satellite project is fittingly named after a line from Mark’s recurring work, Everything & Nothing.”
