	Art:21 . Mike Kelley . Biography . Documentary Film \| PBS
		Mike Kelley was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1954, and lives and works in Los Angeles.
		Kelley’s ongoing pseudo-autobiographical project, "Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction," begun in 1995, is a planned compendium of 365 sculpture and video works, inspired by mundane yearbook photos and an examination of his own selective amnesia.
		Kelley’s aesthetic mines the rich and often overlooked history of vernacular art in America, and his practice borrows heavily from the confrontational, politically conscious “by all means necessary” attitude of punk music.

		Kelley and his masquerades are avatars of processionality, the magi of conflation.
		Kelley finally rejected the pseudo-formalist purity of Conceptualism's social referents, based as they were on a regime of "clever," quirky, minimalist interference that clung to an attenuated avant-gardist vision--present in Baldessari's structural games, Huebler's sampling dissolve, and Asher's small-increment critique.
		Attesting to Kelley's improvisational scoring and his endless nesting of devices, the sheer variety of his texted idioms, and their matrixed relation to his larger project, are remarkable.

	Tate Liverpool \| Past Exhibitions \| Mike Kelley: The Uncanny
		Mike Kelley, Los Angeles-based sculptor, performance and installation artist, is one of the most significant artists working today.
		Hard to categorise, Kelley has dissected the moral and cultural conventions and practices of contemporary society with deadpan humour in performances, installations, architectural models, paintings, drawings and music.
		Kelley relates these to the idea of the ‘double’ – the disturbingly realistic representation of the human figure suspended between life and death.

		Kelley, the vomiting student in the back row, is brought to the front of the class and made to vomit, to show what is in his mouth, to the rest of the class.
		Kelley as the kappa is an mischievous and alien creature with a simpleton's grin.
		Kelley, as the kappa, is a goon, the court jester free to expose the foibles of culture as one who is too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

	A trip down false-memory lane - mixed media; Mike Kelley; traveling exhibition Art in America - Find Articles
		Kelley was clearly both bemused and piqued by his midcareer retrospective, with its inevitable dredging up of art-school influences and biographical anecdotes.
		Kelley has fabricated a portable version of Plato's Cave, Rothko's Chapel, Lincoln's Profile (1985-96), an installation that originally was mounted in the Anchorage, the catacomblike space beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
		Kelley's art-historical joke here is to suggest pop-culture analogues for the protean imagery of Organic Abstraction, a movement initiated by artists such as Gorky and Matta; their followers' work was contemporaneous with movies like Jack Arnold's It Came From Outer Space (1953).

	Project - Mike Kelley
		Kelley constructs idiosyncratic and sometimes improbable histories as groundwork for his artistic production.
		Interested in the pop psychology theory of repressed memory syndrome, Kelley created an eight-part photo montage in which large portions of the image, intended as a panorama, were "fled out" due to a camera malfunction; he sees these as analogous to lapses caused by repressed memories.
		For the sculpture, Kelley used a folk-art technique called "memory ware," covering the surfaces with broken bottles, tools, flatware, and pottery shards collected on one of the islands.

	Amazon.de: Foul Perfection: Essays and Criticism: English Books: Mike Kelley,John C. Welchman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Kelley, a Los Angeles-based artist, is best known for his ironic, politically acidic, often hilarious reconfigurations of cultural tropes, particularly as they have filtered through art and commerce (as when Kelley added breasts to the Native American icon of Land O’ Lakes butter).
		For example, in his essay "Death and Transfiguration," Kelley declares that Paul Thek’s "amazing wax effigy of himself: a striking hippie in permanent fixed decay" is "a pink raspberry shitsicle" made in response to the "porcelain-white vanilla bar" of Walt Disney’s own frozen corpse.
		Kelley's voices are passionate, analytic and ironic, and his critical intelligence is leavened with touches of whimsy.

		At one of Kelley's exhibits, the only entrance to the room where his art hung consisted of a low opening situated under a painting on an exterior wall; in order to enter the room, visitors had to slither on their stomachs through the narrow portal.
		Kelley’s mischief-making is further exemplified in the "Poetics Project" (1977-1997), his recent collaboration with fellow Irish bad-boy artist, Tony Oursler.
		Mike Kelley's cover for the Sonic Youth album Dirty greets visitors to this site, which offers a bio and a link to an article that he wrote for a catalog on the work of his former professor and mentor, Douglas Huebler.

	MAGPIE » NEW MIKE KELLEY.
		Kelley is simultaneously transfixed and outraged by the treacly, sentimental garbage and pointless violence that pass for contemporary culture, and so turns it to his mischievous use.
		Kelley translated the graphics on one girl’s T-shirt as a baby duck on a stilt, a one-eyed kelp, and a tree branch or a pair of mechanical limbs, take your pick.
		Kelley produced an edition of T-shirts in sickly pink and baby-blue emblazoned with his surreal Looney Tune (the shirts are for sale at the show), as a kind of gag metaphor for his whole translating enterprise.

		I think that Kelley realizes that not every child receives the privilege of innocence and that that is what his installments were portraying.
		Stuffed animals are supposed represent the innocence and purity of childhood and I think that the contrast between that idea and the vulgarity of their arrangements was sharp.
		Kelley created an installation that is on permanent display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

	National Cattlemen's Beef Association
		Mike Kelley makes recruiting a part of his daily routine, instead of thinking of it as “something special”.
		Kelley credits this change with much of his success, "The new dues structure is really a plus in our state because our average herd size is only about 10 head." Whenever Kelley talks with fellow cattlemen, he is sure to talk about the policy issues that NCBA takes to the Hill for their members.
		I think that it is important to let breeders know that NCBA has an established presence and Congress is listening." Take some hints from Kelley-be sure to let potential members know that their dues dollars go to policy work, not to check-off.

	Mike Kelley \| Musée du Louvre
		Noble art and vernacular traditions, universal history and minor narratives, popular culture, psychological theories and personal recollections, the unusual multiplicity of Mike Kelley’s sources of inspiration and his many collaborations with other artists convey his critical conception of art and culture.
		At the Louvre, Mike Kelley presents a video installation involving projections on multiple screens of images of two paintings: Watson and the Shark (1777) by John Singleton Copley and Recitation (1891) by Thomas Wilmer Dewing, which the artist first discovered at the Detroit Institute of Arts in his youth.
		This is the first time that Mike Kelley has made use of images from the history of American painting.

		Kelley's "Day Is Done" is like a variety show scripted by a regression therapist and is far more ritualistic, fictional, and Broadway musical than Kessler's unabashed reality-based foray into politics and terrorism.
		By now, Kelley's investigation into stereotypes, however heartfelt, is essentially only generating stereotypical Mike Kelleys.
		Where Kelley locates himself between high art and folk art, psychic phenomena and the psyche, Kessler casts his line into an ominous philosophical abyss.

	artnet Magazine - I Want My Mike Kelley
		This is an artist known for dwelling on the grotesque and the irrational —- one of his famous works was, after all, a drawing of a baboon’s behind —- offering amoral perversity as some kind of antidote to contemporary alienation.
		The rhetoric around Kelley’s previous work suggested that he was directly exposing his viewers to the unspeakable desires that percolate below the surface of everyday life.
		With its carnival atmosphere, ADD pacing, calculated irreverence, snarky quotations of junk culture (you gotta’ admit, a soulful portrait of Garth Brooks staring at a nude breast is pretty funny) and unabashed kinkiness, Mike Kelley has finally made high art as good as MTV.

	mike kelley, silver ball (light and color, mostly) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		As one of America’s most prominent visual artists, Mike Kelley twists common colloquial forms - like signs, stuffed animals and felt banners - and infuses them with the dark psychologies and hidden undercurrents (sexual, metaphysical, and otherwise) of middle-class American culture, assaulting everything that society holds dear.
		From his first rambling performances in the early 1980s, he has appealed to a cult audience because his work is too complex, aggressive, and willfully contradictory to be considered mainstream.
		Kelley has an even deeper background as a sound artist: he is co-founder of the seminal trash-noise collective Destroy All Monsters, whose anti-aesthetic marauded throughout the 1970s with a membership that included artist Jim Shaw, Ron Asheton (Iggy and The Stooges) and Mike Davis (MC5).

		Interested in the systemization of styles, how styles ("looks") produce different meanings and forms (craftwork; Cubism), Kelley is not afraid of gently ironizing recognizable styles--to funny and moving ends.
		Given the rampant Becherizarion of contemporary photography, P hoto Show Portrays the Familiar, 2001, is, arguably, the work that looks the most like "art," but it lays bare the vaunted "conceptual" values of the school of Becher by querying what photographed subject isn't (or doesn't become) "conceptual" or "meaningful."
		There's a clipping of a teenage Kelley a ccepting a prize, along with collaborator Ed Gills, for a crude, parodic patriotic number bearing the words YOUR LAND AND MINE, made for a VFW Auxiliary poster contest.
