In this installation by artist Mike Kelley, clusters of stuffed animals playfully draw you in, bringing up childhood memories.
But when large “deodorizers,” shiny sculptures on the walls, spray a disinfectant on the candy-colored creatures, they become suddenly ominous. The smell fills the gallery and unlocks new questions: Why do these need to be cleaned? What’s wrong with them?
🧸 See (and smell) Kelley’s installation, on view now at MoMA.
