WHAT: MOCA invites members of the media to attend opening remarks and preview Mike Kelley, the largest presentation of the work of Mike Kelley, regarded as one of the most influential artists of our time. Kelley's deeply innovative work mined American popular culture and traditions in relation to relentless, dark, and delirious examinations of self and society. Kelley has an important connection to Los Angeles and MOCA, and the highly anticipated homecoming of this international traveling retrospective brings together over 250 works from 1974 through early 2012.
A definitive retrospective catalogue and the most comprehensive volume ever produced on the work of the artist, MIKE KELLEY, is available to purchase at the MOCA store or online at mocastore.org
