Summer Session
Summer Session – Mike Kelley: “Day Is Done”
This Summer Session’s topic is Back to School, and we’re thinking about pedagogy, learning, and education in the art world. Today from Art 21 we bring you a short video about Mike Kelley’s 2005 project Day Is Done. The work is based around Kelley’s concept of Educational Complex, or the invisible construction of cultural mythos through social institutions like school and domestic life. Here Kelley attempts to reveal the workings of Educational Complex by disrupting the normalized patterns of display through the juxtaposition of images and music. This video was originally uploaded on April 30, 2010.
