Before Day Break curated by Magda Gonzalez-Mora
Suitable for all ages
Everything and Nothing, 2014
Live Performance and Video Installation
The performance takes the form of a back and forth dialogue between a man and a woman. Each reads from a prepared script in the form of a book of 100 phrases each. The woman recites phrases each beginning with the word "everything" and the man responds with a list of phrases beginning with the word "nothing".
Kelly Mark has always had a preoccupation with the differing shades of pathos and humour found in everyday life. Hidden in the repetitive mundane tasks, routines and rituals of contemporary culture, she finds startling moments of poetic individuation. This "imprint of the individual," although subtle and frequently paradoxical, is something she repeatedly returns to. Mark has exhibited widely in Canada and overseas at venues including Art Gallery of Ontario, Liverpool Biennale, 2006; and the Sydney Biennale in 1998.
