Mike Kelley Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites

On view October 13, 2013–February 2, 2014 MoMA PS1 presents Mike Kelley, the largest exhibition of the artist’s work to-date and the first comprehensive survey since 1993. Regarded as one of the most influential artists of our time, Mike Kelley (1954–2012) produced a body of deeply innovative work mining American popular culture and both modernist and alternative traditions—which he set in relation to relentless self- and social examinations, both dark and delirious. Bringing together over 200 works, this exhibition marks the largest MoMA PS1 has ever organized since its Rooms exhibition in 1976. Born in Detroit, Kelley lived and worked in Los Angeles from the mid-1970s until his tragic death last year at the age of 57… Speaking of his early work and artistic concerns at large, Kelley had said, “My entrance into the art world was through the counter-culture, tpo ‘pervert’ it, to reverse or alter its meaning… Mass culture is scrutinized to discover what is hidden, repressed, within it.” Full show information here: http://momaps1.org/exhibitions/view/374 The focus from this is side: “Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites”. 1991/1999. Made up of stuffed animals (plush) over a sub frame. This has exhibited and toured and was ultimately sold for $2.7 million USD. mike kelley
