This will be the first major UK survey exhibition of American artist Mike Kelley (1954–2012). Kelley’s influential and experimental practice ranged from drawings and collages to videos, performances and multimedia installations to create a kind of “dark pop art”. Drawing upon the media, popular and underground culture, philosophy, literature, and historical material, his works question the systems of belief and institutional structures that shape our societal roles. Spanning Kelley’s entire career, the exhibition marks a rare opportunity for new audiences to discover the elaborate, provocative and imaginative worlds he created, which continue to resonate over a decade after his passing
