MoMA PS1 announces Mike Kelley exhibition

MoMA PS1 presents Mike Kelley an exhibition on view October 13, 2013–February 2, 2014. 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.
