"SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS" LONGSLEEVE

Artist Mike Kelley (1954–2012) is widely acknowledged for his influential contributions to the art world since the 1970s, drawing inspiration from spirituality and heavy metal to Superman comics, pop- and sub-culture. His work has transgressed a pure art context, propelling to other industries, such as when he designed a cover for Sonic Youth or with his own band Destroy All Monsters. Until September 8, K21—Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf presents “Mike Kelley. Ghost and Spirit” as a major retrospective.

On the occasion of this exhibition and in honor of Kelley’s outstanding artistic work, 032c launches a T-shirt, longsleeve, and a denim work jacket using the iconic and experimental imagery of Mike Kelley together with K21 and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
