Mike Kelley’s work asks significant and prescient questions about the role of art and the identity of the artist, particularly in a hyper-mediated society.
Kelley was aware of his position as a white working-class man in postmodern, capitalist America, and his work leans into this complicated reality.
The exhibition features Kelley's pivotal work The Poltergeist, which mimics early 20th-century spiritualist photography, showcasing his unique blend of critique and creativity.
Kelley viewed art as an act of disruption, stating, 'Art is about fucking things up for the pure pleasure of fucking things up'.
