Glass past in original blister pack
Dimensions : 16 x 20 cm
Numbered out of 150 copies
 
Published in 2007, Invasion Kit #7 (Invader Kit number 7, IK7, or "Union Space") was produced in 150 numbered but unsigned copies, as well as 50 numbered and signed copies. The 50 signed editions feature a silver marker signature on the front, and another signature on the back. The Union Space invasion kit is made of glass-paste tiles.
 
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.
