This catalogue presents Mike Kelley's most important work produced over the last ten years and is a vital look at one of the most active international artists. Transporting household kitsch and mass visual media from their normal contexts into purposefully confusing configurations, Kelley confronts our assumed notions of popular culture. Often incorporating text, his pieces use contradictions between content, typography, and composition to uncover volatile topics. Ranging from performance and video to textile, sculpture, painting, and installation. Kelley has adopted various styles that allow him to constantly shift personas, and to expose a wide range of prejudices and myths.
