Mike Kelley

This episode is dedicated to beloved and prematurely deceased American artist Mike Kelley. The Tate Modern has set up an impressive retrospective, those once-in-a-lifetime exhibitions that you cannot miss if you're in town. So we decided to dig in and bring it to you if you can't make it and enhance your experience if you did. There are opinions, feelings, stories and a cacophonous experience that will leave no one indifferent.  Jack White finally makes an appearance again as we had once promised!  Joana and Emily introduce you to the universe of Mike Kelley, of anarchist and punk teenage and young adult years, who ceaselessly poked at the overwhelming and overpowering world of entertainment. Then they move on to his academic life and career achievements, always marked by a rebellious streak consistently visible in his work about the traps of memory, the failings of education and psychology, and the fine line between fiction and reality.

Call it arrogance, call it innocence: Exhibitionistas is tailored for everyone, from the art specialist to the art-curious with co-host conversations about exhibitions, art theory, feelings and context around solo exhibitions, guest interviews, and special episodes based on a particular topic. It's like an art-channel! I’m an independent writer and curator with a two-decade career in contemporary art, from commercial galleries to art fairs, from art history & research to curating. I was told so many times "I don't know anything about contemporary art" that I decided to do something about it.
