Why It Matters
The Invasion Kits let collectors own an actual tile mosaic in Invader's true medium rather than a print of one. #14 nods to the artist's earlier 3D-glasses works while delivering the ceramic-and-glass construction that defines his street pieces, bridging his public installations and his editioned studio output.
Collector Perspective
As a physical mosaic object, this is a distinct proposition from a print: it embodies Invader's core technique. The edition of 200 is larger than his print runs, but the hand-assembled ceramic-and-glass construction and signature make each a tangible piece of his practice. Framing and mount condition matter for display and value.
Historical Context
The numbered Invasion Kit series, released through Space Shop, packages Invader's tiling method into collectible mosaics. Issued in 2012, #14 references the artist's recurring 3D-glasses imagery, extending a motif from his broader body of work into a compact, wall-mountable ceramic edition.
