Mark Flood

Zach Feuer Gallery (new location), New York

Art manufacturer Zach Feuer is currently offering an improved/uprated next-generation version of the Mark Flood manpackable fire-and-forget surface-to-air career launcher system called the MURK FLUID ("Show"), for export to foreign countries. The next-gen FLUID system, full name Mark Flood MURK FLUID offers significantly extended intellectual engagement/misfiring range and enhanced aesthetic kill probability and culture-warhead lethality over the previous-generation exhibition system against all types of targets, including "small-size media" like Artforum, and ultraviolet lights. A series of handwritten addenda to the FLUID brochure also claim that the FLUID art-penis has "night-firing capability" and is difficult to jam (i.e. highly immune to critical jamming). MURK FLUID timidly asks: Under what conditions is the compassionate consumption of the body of the celebrity permissible? Who gives a shit about the use of vulnerable celebrity populations (the miscast, the typecast, the political, the forgotten) as celebrity organ donors when fully misinformed consent is so difficult to achieve? How can you, at home, with a few common household tools and chemicals, achieve the fragmentation of the celebrity body and possess its parts as special objects for personal use, sale, and distribution? The exhibit also touches upon the issue of trafficking in child-stars for the purpose of organ removal. While there is no conclusive evidence regarding such trafficking, it is noted that many abducted or missing star-children have subsequently been found dead with certain organs removed. The exhibition catalogue notes that it is medically possible to transplant a famous child's organ into an obscure adult's body. Reception for the Artist: Thursday, March 3, 6-8PM.
