Mike Kelly

 Mike Kelly's images of knitted items.

The Mike Kelly's exhibition was situated in the modern art gallery on the basement floor. He is a American installation, performance artist and painter. His work is a bit like Marmite you like it or you hate it, but that is for you to judge, as I know what I think !! Also I had to edit his work are some of it was too obscene for my blog.

These are made from fabric that have been collaged into and they are huge statements.

Carpet with lumps under.... to  represent children's nightmares.

 They speak for themselves.

 This is paper that's been folded and then drawn into.

 Photographs shown on very large screens lit up that's the best way can explain it.

This is a snapshot of a video with sounds and you also see my feet !!!

 Must admit Mike Kelly's exhibition was a bit of an eye-opener I've seen other exhibitions which are strange but have to say I think this is one of the strangest exhibitions I've seen. Mike Kelly was only in his 50s when he died so what happened to him I don't know but I feel that he was quite disturbed in some sort of way because his work is so extreme but not in a nice way. So, if you like the strange and obscene this exhibitions is one for you.....
