Curatorial Tour: Ghost and Spirit

As a late 20th-century heir to Pop Art, Mike Kelley (1954–2012) examined the structures and contradictions of 1980s and 1990s American culture in groundbreaking works that expose, interrogate, and provoke. With surgical precision and a dark sense of humour, Kelley laid bare the structures that shape our sense of self.

“Ghost and Spirit” spans his entire oeuvre – from his groundbreaking performance works of the early 1970s to his provocative multimedia installations of the early 2000s.
