Description

Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit Mike Kelley was a visionary artist whose practice spanned multiple disciplines, including performance, installation, drawing, painting, video, photography, sound, text, and sculpture. This book explores his dense and colourful body of work, examining his early performances, iconic stuffed toy works, and explorations of history, memory, and trauma. Kelley's work challenged assumptions about identity, class, and institutional authority, as he adopted different personas and mediums to deliberately deflate his own status. Bringing together diverse perspectives, this book captures the complexity and persistent relevance of Kelley's extraordinary practice. Through his work, Kelley asked prescient questions about how to exist in a world of media images, the role of art and the artist, and embodiment. This book provides a nuanced understanding of his practice, shedding light on the lingering influence of this influential artist.
