Michael John Kelly – Language. Berlin - L.A Trilogie II
30 Jan - 5 Mar 2016 68projectsThis exhibition: “Language”, by painter Michael John Kelly, is the second part of our Berlin-L.A. trilogy and the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe. Michael John Kelly’s work is characterized by many different influences and “languages”: his images combine painting, print, photography, drawing and collage. In terms of content, they contain elements from new media and abstract expressionism, graffiti and cartoons, and science fiction movies and the world of hip-hop and punk rock. Kelly, however, continually emphasizes the equal importance of all of his materials and sources of inspiration.Read more -

In our most ambitious effort to date, 68projects commissioned new work by international contemporary artists by providing each participating artist with a similar wood panel used by da Vinci. They cut to the exact dimensions of the painting. With no requirement to reference da Vinci or portraiture or even to keep the wood in one piece, each artist was asked to make a work in their style and manner, one that would give beloved Mona a partner-in-crime…a partner-in-time.
