Mike Kelly at Venus Over Manhattan

Shrunken and placed in a jar by the evil genius Braniac, the capital city of Superman’s home planet exists but just out of reach.   Mike Kelly takes up the theme of past trauma as ever-present influence on the present in an installation of mixed media installations and lightboxes based on drawings of Kandor culled from comics. (At Venus Over Manhattan through January 28th).
