Exhibition Walkthrough: ‘Mike Kelley. Timeless Painting’ with Jay Heikes

Please join us and artist Jay Heikes for a tour of ‘Mike Kelley. Timeless Painting’ on view at Hauser & Wirth New York 22nd Street through 25 January. We will meet in the Hauser & Wirth Publishers Bookshop. Jay Heikes (b. 1975; lives and works in Minneapolis) makes sculptures, paintings, installations—typically combining materials with almost alchemical operations—that activate stories, puns, and irony as forms of meditation. Heikes has had solo museum exhibitions at the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska; UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, California; Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; and P.S.1. Contemporary Art Center, New York; among others. Recent gallery exhibitions include Boesky East and Marianne Boesky, New York; Federica Shiavo Gallery, Milan; Grimm Gallery, Amsterdam; and Reserve Ames, Los Angeles. His work is in the permanent collections of the BAMPFA, Berkeley, CA; Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha; New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; and Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
