A Tribute to Mike Kelley

This exhibition is dedicated to the work and legacy of Mike Kelley (b. 1954, Detroit; d. 2012, LA). Since the late 1970s, Kelley has had a far-reaching influence on the LA art community, whether through his groundbreaking performances, installations, sculptures, and works on paper; his insightful critical writings; or his deep commitment to artists, as a peer and a teacher. Over the last three decades, his influence has extended to MOCA, with donations of his own works as well as those by local and international artists that have profoundly shaped the museum’s permanent collection.
