Allan McCollum

Based on the continuing Visible Markers project developed by Allan McCollum, this Visible Marker featuring the message “THANKS” is an object that obtains its significance through the process of its exchange. It serves as a constant reminder of the importance of giving and receiving gratitude and appreciation. Present this humble memento to friends, co-workers and loved ones so it can live with them as a token of thanks.

This object comes in a simple and beautiful custom box for easy gifting.

Devised as a system of two-dimensional shapes, one for each person on the planet at maximum population, The Shapes Project is intended to draw attention to each of us being a singularity, one of several billion human beings on Earth, and our collective failure to address emotional and practical implications thereof. The Shapes Project was initiated in 2005 and is expected to continue beyond the artist's lifetime. For conceptual continuity, each of the thirty-one billion shapes will be used only once, ensuring that every installation of The Shapes Project: Background Shapes is unique.
