Подробнее о видео

Artist and author Laura López Paniagua completed the first PhD study on Mike Kelley in 2015 (Universidad Complutense, Madrid and Freie Universität, Berlin). Her work received support from institutions such as DAAD, MM Madrid and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture. She currently teaches art theory and history at the Leuphana Universität, Lüneburg (Germany).

This lecture will approach two of the main topics that dominate Mike Kelley’s oeuvre since the 1990s: memory and history. Through the analysis of works such as Educational Complex (1995)and Reconstructed History (1990), López Paniagua will establish how Kelley explores biographic memory as a quasi fictional construct and how he destabilises the notion of official history through minor narratives of the everyday, oppressed and forgotten by the Great History.

The Mike Kelley Mobile Homestead is commissioned by Artangel in association with MOCAD, LUMA Foundation and Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts with the generous support of the Artangel International Circle. Support for the Mike Kelley Mobile Homestead is provided by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
