The first properly posthumous retrospective, this book highlights the significance of Kelleys influential fourdecade career on the development of art since the 1970sMike Kelley (19542012) liked to play with how an artist appears, exists, and inhabits a role and how an artwork communes with a viewer. Central to his ambitious explorations of memory, history, and the future is his consideration of how ones individual subjectivity is shaped by familial and institutional power structures within society. Ghost and Spirit highlights the significant and prescient questions about the role of art, and of the artist, and about gender and class, in terms that stem from Kelleys own position as a white, heterosexual man in postmodern, capitalist America. Featuring a diverse range of voices, it explores the major works and themes of Kelleys career, while drawing attention to aspects of his practice associated with performance, activism, and collaboration, to emphasize his continual deflation of his own authority, and his willingness to invent and inhabit several identities. Covering over four decades of Kelleys work spanning performance, sculpture, video and installation, and articulating challenges to power, gender, class, and sexuality, this book is a pertinent presentation of the breadth, complexity, and significance of Kelleys influential practice.
