註釋
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present sculptures and a large-scale installation by Mike Kelley. In the current exhibition, Kelley has shifted his formal investigations to monumental sculptural problems, depicting Superman's Fortress of Solitude as a sort of bunker in ruins. The centerpiece Kandor 10B (Exploded Fortress of Solitude) is a pile of dark boulders and slabs forming a cave with a quarry-like foyer made from faux black rock and built on a scale that invites the viewer into the forbidden fortress. Set within the cave's inner recesses is a glowing rose-colored city-in-a-bottle. The same black rock forms organic plinths that support Kandor city sculptures, as well as a series of satellite elements that surround and echo Kandor 10B's broken ramparts. The satellites are paired with sculpted metallic body parts recalling fragments of classical sculpture, and other materials, evoking public war memorials and related edifices. The exhibition also includes two videotapes. Vice Anglais focuses on a group of a sadistic perverts who reside in the cave-likeKandor 10B.
