Coinciding with the first major UK posthumous retrospective of Mike Kelley, this book highlights the significance of the American artist's influential four-decade career on the development of art since the 1970s.
Mike Kelley (1954-2012) 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 one's 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 Kelley's own position as a white, heterosexual man in post-modern, capitalist America. Featuring a diverse range of voices, it explores the major works and themes of Kelley's career, while drawing attention to aspects of his practice associated with performance, activism and collaboration, to emphasise his continual deflation of his own authority, and his willingness to invent and inhabit several identities.
Covering over four decades of Kelley's 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 Kelley's influential practice.
Includes contributions from Marie de Brugerolle, Robert Cozzolino, Hendrik Folkerts, Jack Halberstam, Mark Leckey, Laura López Panigua, Fiontan Moran, Grace Ndiritu, Cauleen Smith and John Welchman.

Paperback. Etat : New. Mike Kelley (1954-2012) is widely considered one of the most influential artists of our time, with an irreverent and visionary practice that spanned and mixed performance, installation, drawing, painting, video, photography, sound, text and sculpture.Ghost and Spirit looks at his dense and colourful body of work, from early performances, to his iconic stuffed toy works, and on to his explorations of history, memory and trauma as they haunt our experiences of school or family. Asking prescient questions about how to exist among a world of media images, about the role of art and the artist, and about embodiment, Kelley adopted different personas and mediums, deliberately deflating his own status, and from his own position as a white, heterosexual man in postmodern, capitalist America, he challenged assumptions about identity, class and institutional authority.Bringing together a range of diverse perspectives which summon his 'lingering influence' (to paraphrase the artist), this book captures the complexity and persistent relevance of Kelley's extraordinary practice.
