American artist Mike Kelley was born in Wayne, MI in 1954. Active in Detroit’s upstart punk scene, Kelley moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s. On the West Coast, he developed an interdisciplinary practice spanning drawing and painting, performance, video, installation, assemblage and sound. Incorporating found objects and folk traditions, Kelley interrogated American popular culture and the rituals of youth. He died in 2012 at the age of 57, and is considered one of the most influential artists of his generation.
