Mike Kelley: Vice Anglais
Confusing exhibition at Hauser and Wirth highlighting a video installation by Mike Kelley.
I'd struggled with the retrospective of Kelley's work at Tate Modern and I'm afraid this didn't make much more sense to me. I've just reread the webpage and I think I understand the show bit more.
The heart was a video "Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction #36 (Vice Anglais)" and the show included paintings of the characters in it plus sculptures made from the props. However the video being shown was actually a companion piece "Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction #36B (Made in England)" . No wonder I was confused!
