They took years to figure that out even though it was embedded in all these works of Kelley from this period as they were made with toys used by children!! Congratulations on the curators to finally evoke the senses with 50 years delay!
Are the vapors putting extra stress/ageing on the stuffed animals? Cleaning agent can be quite aggressive. It also makes me wonder about the paintings in the adjacent rooms ... How does the museum deal with that?
Kelley's works are very fascinating, and I think there were some very insightful things in this video, but, i have a big but. the video starts off talking about how scent is one of the most powerful and affective senses, but the end comment about questioning whether warnings were needed for the scents felt dismissive. i'm sure even inside New York City, for neurodivergent people, those with sensory differences, migraines, sometimes the ability to choose whether or not to experience a scent can mean a lot. if a piece used a lot of flashing lights, wouldn't you give a warning for those with epilepsy & other photosensitivities? i really hope this could make them rethink this accessibility issue of the exhibit, or at least that statement in the video.
Easy one. Because it's not art. It's craft. It is also a waste of natural resources. Understand? Sewing stuffed animals together around an aerosol emitter, is not art - particularly since they are made of components the crafter did not make themself. It's sewing stuffed animals together around an aerosol emitter and that's all it is. The rest is word salad BS. It's amazing what talentless, meaningless and ability-free garbage passes for "art" now.
Art is the ability to create what the mind sees. Do you study art? I’m an art student and becoming a art teacher and I really love what I see. Very fascinating.
Art is a craft. The concept of art your referencing was created in the XVIII century to differentiate aristocratic productions from peasant/"primitive" ones and thus deprive people from humanity, as they were only seen as monkeys that were trained to copy. It doesn't sustain itself materially nor philosophically. Actually, CRAFT (in the traditional sense) is the form of production that always prioritized ability, art is purely intelectual. If you want to see "talent" and "ability" just ask a machine to carve a perfect Michelangelo's Pietá. Now about "meaningless"... art/life is meaningless lmfao everything we do is literally attach meaning to inanimate objects.

Fascinating explanation! Thank you!

Did Mike Kelley want these things to degrade? Might have been part of his trip. I've always dug his stuff.
The Olfactory sense is fascinating but is so often overlooked and not realized when experienced in combination with Taste and/or Sight.
Why do certain ppl get a space like this
I bet the toys were used and stank so he added the scent emitters
Interesting
