<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Published to accompany the exhibition Mike Kelley: Memory Ware November 3-December 23, 2016 Hauser & Wirth New York."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Over the course of his four-decade career, Mike Kelley (1954-2012) critically questioned aesthetic conventions and examined all forms of culture. The approximately 100 <i>Memory Ware</i> and associated works were made during the first decade of the 21st century; all are reproduced in this catalog. Named for a genre of North American folk art in which everyday utilitarian objects such as vases are coated with a claylike substance and then embedded with small objects including shells, beads and buttons, Kelley's <i>Memory Ware</i> series consists both of wall-hung works (known as <i>Memory Ware Flats</i>) and freestanding pieces. The artist's appropriation of this folk tradition eliminates recognizable underlying objects and expands the original method to include a wider variety of keepsakes. The <i>Memory Ware</i> sculptures, by contrast, juxtapose dense clusters of found objects with minimally or undecorated areas and reintroduce an overall structure.</p>
