The advent of film and television has redefined the way we approach and understand culture, from popular culture to the fine arts. Arguably the last century has witnessed the materialization, diffusion and ubiquity of Clement Greenberg's frightening “surrogate” culture, the duplicate and almost all the other cultural “abominations” he wrote about. Remakes, replicas, covers, memes, are more than ever part of our cultural fabric and flow into the fine arts through appropriation, kitsch efforts, collage, to name just a few established ones. Furthermore, alongside video media, an obvious think tank of pop culture canons has established itself: Hollywood. As expected, many artists have naturalized film vocabulary into their artistic practices. At the same time, concerns about the relationship between art and its viewers have assumed a prominent position in contemporary artistic discourse. In some respects, Canadian artist Kelly Mark is an artist interested in both the vocabulary of video and conceptual relational concerns. In this light, my essay will discuss Mark's 2010 video work “Public Disturbance: HB Series: Take 1/ Take 2/ Take 3,” a filmed performance featuring two actors infiltrating Toronto's Power Ball fundraiser 2010 and recite lines from the film. First I will describe the work; so I will read the piece on two fronts. The former will deal with various social commentary while the latter will discuss the relational aspects of the work. Note that in this essay bibliographical references are identified by superscript numbers that refer to the endnotes. Footnotes are marked with superscript letters and contain additional information regarding Marco's works. The HB series is on display at the Darling Foundry in Montreal until April...... mid-newspaper ......and: Rachel Echenberg, Louis Joncas and Kelly Mark (Ottawa: The Ottawa Art Gallery: 2005), 46Adler , Dan: "Kelly Mark" art forum.
