This mixed media wall hanging is a satire of the catalogue raisonné, a monographic format that celebrates the life's work of a single artist. The piece brings together commemorative patches for a series of previous projects by Mark Clintberg (Frott age, Intermediário, and Build a wall make a hole) - including some never realized, such as a proposed legal name change to Mark August Klintberg. The substrate for the work is a fragment of a test sample from the Fruit and Flowers series of industrially woven blankets, which the artist exhibited at Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain in 2019. It also contains references to upcoming projects, including a selection of Missoni fabrics that will be used in Clintberg's 2020 solo exhibition at Latitude 53.
