Mike Kelley

Mike Kelley uses painting, sculpture, performance, music and video to explore the crisis of modernity and of certain social and religious values, and the psychological structures and historical milestones of Western society. He draws on everyday objects and images to create grotesque and sometimes obscene works. The catalogue includes three texts by Kelley, who was one of the leading artists of the nineties, as well as essays by Elisabeth Sussman, Timothy Martin and Anthony Vilder, selected works, a biography and a bibliography,
