This weekend is your last chance to catch "Mike Kelley" at MoMA PS1, the largest exhibition of the artist's work-to-date. The show, which was conceived as a thematic exhibition with the help of the artist, originated at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. That changed following the artist's tragic death last year at the age of 57.
The Detroit-born artist worked in every conceivable medium — drawings on paper, sculpture, performances, music, video, photography, and painting — over the duration of his thirty-five year career, all of which can be seen throughout the retrospective.
From 2005's "Day is Done" to 1995's"Educational Complex" and the later "Kandor," more than 200 works can be seen throughout the exhibition, which occupies the entire 40,000 square feet of gallery space at the museum.
Blouin ARTINFO spoke with both Ann Goldstein, director of the Stedelijk Museum, and MoMA PS1 Curator and Associate Director of Exhibitions and Programs Peter Eleey when the show opened in the fall.
