Toward the end of his career, Mike Kelley produced works that increasingly invoked elaborate webs of references and associations. His last two videos, ‘Vice Anglais’ and ‘Made in England,’ are no exception. Join us on December 14th for a screening of these two works at Hauser & Wirth when John Miller will lead a introduction and discussion and explore some of the allusions Kelley packed into these videos. He will situate them in the decadent/romantic literary tradition, examine their basis in the narrative of Dante Gabriel Rosetti and consider the impact of the director Ken Russell on the stylization of Kelley’s late work.
