Pobocha, P: Mike Kelley: Deodorized Central Mass with Satell

This latest volume in the MoMA One on One series focuses on Mike Kelley¿s Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites (1991/1999). From the mid-1970s until his death in 2012, Mike Kelley produced some of the most challenging art of his time. Central to his artistic endeavors was a desire to plumb the American psyche in an attempt to reveal all which had been repressed, not only personally but also culturally. Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites (1991/1999) is an immersive installation featuring brightly colored stuffed animals that have been sewn together into large, irregularly-shaped spheres which hang directly from the ceiling, accompanied by ten vibrantly hued, abstract fiberglass sculptures installed on the walls along the perimeter of the gallery that periodically releasing a pine-scented mist into the air. The work not only overwhelms the senses, but also confounds the mind. Among Kelley¿s most ambitious works, it is a culmination of the artist¿s years-long investigation into the empathic relationships we form with inanimate objects. An essay by curator Paulina Pobocha provides an in-depth look at this singular artwork and contextualizes it within Kelley¿s deeply complex and at times unsettling artistic practice.

Hello God, It's Me Again

Awakened in the night Jesus speaking to me a voicespoken low. "I cannot hear you Jesus, help me nowthough this pencil in my hand". He took the pencil andpressed it to the page. He wrote words that hurt me,and made me cry. I could clearly read them even withthe tears in my eyes. He took the pencil, held it to myface, all the words he erased. He wanted me for apurpose, but I didn't carry through, then he gave meback the pencil and a job for him to do, this time I willfollow his calling to do what he would have me do.Through my prayers, now I share with you.
