ACT UP

Rage rage against the dying of the light

 

Matchstick in sterling silver

 

This version of the matchstick takes its name from one of Mark’s favorite revolutionary groups, ACT UP; founded in 1987 during the AIDS epidemic, ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) were known for their aggressive and penetrating displays of protest

 

Commissioned by I Heart and Proctor and Gamble as the artist gift for their Can't Cancel Pride concert event, the matchstick is meant to represent how change begins with a single strike, with the torch of revolution passed between generations;  from Elton John to Brandi Carlile, from Melissa Etheridge to Adam Lambert, from Ricky Martin to Kim Petras, there is a light that never goes out

 

Can't Cancel Pride was born of the pandemic as a way to ensure the celebration and urgency of pride continued during uncertain and isolated times - the pandemic canceled many things, but not the gays; it was such a success, it is now in its 4th year and has raised over $17 million dollars for LGBTQ+ charities
