\n The Los Angeles-based artist Mike Kelley (1954-2012) spent his entire career trying to get home. Like Superman, however, he came to realize that it was an impossible quest. NEON presents the first monographic exhibition of Mike Kelley in Athens\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

Superman had a problem. He couldn\u2019t go home. Although he was endowed with paranormal abilities, he was nonetheless defenseless against the illness of homesickness. Finding himself exiled on Earth, he was an extraterrestrial who couldn\u2019t phone home because his planet Krypton had been blown to bits by an apocalyptic cataclysm. In fact, fragments of his old home, known as Kryptonite, would reduce him to a level of childlike helplessness. In Superman\u2019s world, home was a killer. Looking at the play between memory and forgetfulness the exhibition brought together a range of key works from across the artist\u2019s career in order to reflect on the uncanny condition of psychological homelessness in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
