Art Metropole

09 Oct. - 23 Nov. 2025

Everything is possible

Everything is possible is a display of Kelly Mark’s works drawn from Art Metropole’s inventory, including books, buttons, multiples, audio, and sculpture.

This display is presented as a part of Everything & Nothing, 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, which stages an existential dialogue made up of common expressions pertaining to “everything” and “nothing.” Hosted by nine venues of varying scales and audiences in the city, the exhibition marks a special occasion to celebrate Mark’s important legacy and her influence on many generations of artists.
