Mary Reid Kelley: Working Objects and Videos

Mary Reid Kelley celebrates the first museum exhibition devoted to the finely crafted and researched costumes, objects, and drawings that Mary Reid Kelley creates for her visually and intellectually stimulating videos. An essay by curator Daniel Belasco analyzes the sources and significance of the working objects in how they promote the unreality effect of Mary Reid Kelley's videos, which combine both the analog and digital and the personal and historical. A conversation between Corinna Ripps Schaming and Mary Reid Kelley and her long-time collaborator Patrick Kelley reveals insights into their working process. For the first time, the full range of the artist's costumes, props, drawings, furniture, and accessories are photographed and presented as unique works of art.
