The Invasion Kit number 4 (Invader Kit 4, IK4, also called Rubik Space) is an artwork — a mosaic made of glass paste tiles — by the artist INVADER. It is presented under plexiglass.
Unique artwork
Dimensions: 14 x 17.8 cm
Numbered out of 150 copies
Unique assembly of tiles for each piece
Starting in the year 2000, the street artist Invader began selling ready-to-use invasion kits on his website. These are artworks—pre-assembled mosaics made of around one hundred tiles, packaged in protective anti-static bags, ready to be installed anywhere one wishes. The original intention was to allow anyone to take part in the invasion, giving everyone the possibility of having an Invader piece at home, in their street, or on their building. The kits even bear the inscription “Bonne invasion.”
However, because these invasion kits were produced in limited quantities, each with a unique identifying number—and some even signed by the artist—they have become collectible objects whose value has steadily increased, especially over the past four or five years. Very few have actually been installed in public spaces, and they now exist primarily in private collections.
