CS
Organized in collaboration with the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, ‘Mike Kelley: Kandors 1999 – 2011’ will be the first comprehensive survey of the Kandors series. These visually opulent, technically ambitious sculptures, along with videos and large-scale installations, rework the imagery and mythology of the popular American comic book superhero Superman in a meditation on loss, power, and memory. Beginning 21 October, the exhibition will present the Kandors works for the first time in the late artist’s home city of Los Angeles, including the installation ‘Kandor-Con 2000’; the sprawling ‘Kandors Full Set’ (2005 – 2009), which features an array of illuminated cities and hand-blown bottles; and the series’ monumental ‘Kandor 10B (Exploded Fortress of Solitude)’, Kelley’s take on Superman’s post-apocalyptic sanctum sanctorum. This extensive survey also includes Kelley’s early Kandor Bottle Drawings, works from the Lenticular series, and complex sculptural installations that include video narratives.
