Day is Done

Either crazy pretentious or genius. Your guess is as good as mine. In case you missed them, "Mike Kelley":http://www.mikekelley.com/ has done "things":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Kelley_%28artist%29. For example he made the term "Abjection":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjection mandatory jargon in art school. :| "From the site":http://www.ybca.org/tickets/production.aspx?performanceNumber=4622: _A major new video work by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley, Day is Done is a twisted semi-musical that examines American subcultures. It is composed of 31 sketches, each a reconstruction of photographs found in high school yearbooks, with such familiar events as dress-up days, memorial speeches, religious spectacles and fashion shows. Kelley disrupts the traditional structures of such events to construct a dizzying daisy chain of performances resulting in an institutional landscape populated by dancing Goths, singing vampires, hick storytellers, horse dancers and the Virgin Mary (2005/06, 169 min, video)_
