MIKE KELLEY (1954–2012)
Kelley’s provocative work used stuffed animals, drawings, videos, and performance to explore memory, trauma, and cultural archetypes. Blending pop culture and the abject, he exposed the contradictions of childhood, class, and art institutions. His work is in MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Stedelijk Museum."My work is a way of reclaiming things that were rejected."
