Mary Kelly

Mary Kelly

Mary Kelly is known for her “project-based work, addressing questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations...In 1968, she began her long-term critique of conceptualism, informed by the feminist theory of the early womenʼs movement in which she was actively involved throughout the 1970s.” Her works and collaborations include “the film Nightcleaners (1970-75), and the installation Women & Work, a document on the division of labor in the industry (1975), as well as producing her iconic work on the mother/child relationship, Post-Partum Document (1973-79). Documentation I, the infamous 'nappies,' caused a scandal in the media when it was first exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London in 1976...More recently, she has turned to the theme of collective memory.”
