Mike Kelley Retrospective at Tate Modern: Exploring the Spirit of Provocative Art | stupidDOPE
Briefly

Kelley's work, often laden with social critique, plays on themes of repression and escape, using familiar objects to challenge societal norms.
The exhibition will unite Kelley's sculptures and textiles, including his iconic Kandor piece, exploring nostalgia and the psychological impact of memory.
Kelley emphasizes the difference between ghosts, who have vanished, and spirits, representing memories that retain influence, illustrating his impact on contemporary art.
Through misfit toys and multimedia installations, Kelley's work reflects lost innocence and societal rejection, urging audiences to confront memory and trauma.
