In Conversation about ‘Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley: We Are Ghosts’
Edge Hill University is the sponsor of Tate Liverpool’s current exhibition ‘We Are Ghosts‘ (November 17 – 18 March 2018) by New York artists, Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley, which is their first museum solo exhibition in the UK. The exhibition’s curator, Lauren Barnes, will discuss their work with ICE’s Associate Director, Professor Roger Shannon.
‘We Are Ghosts‘ is a new and imaginative commission which re-imagines life on a US Navy Submarine at the end of the Second World War. Known for their stylised black-and-white videos, this exhibition features their new work ‘n The Body of The Sturgeon’, as well as the 2016 work, ‘This Is Offal’.

The artists create video works that fuse classical drama, modern literature and contemporary pop culture into surreal observations on gender, class, and urban development, drawing on cultural references from southern church socials, women’s magazines to Borges and Baudelaire and, in an effort to pull women from the margins of historical records, Mary Reid Kelley’s work often centres around female protagonists such as nurses, prostitutes, and factory workers.
The new video, In The Body of The Sturgeon, is co-produced with The Baltimore Museum of Art and The Center for Advanced Media Studies at the Johns Hopkins University.
Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley has been programmed in parallel at Tate Liverpool with two other exhibitions : John Piper, and Surrealism in Egypt: Art et Liberté 1938–1948.
As the University enjoys a partnership with Tate Liverpool, EHU students and staff gain free admission to Tate exhibitions, whether in Liverpool, London (Tate Modern and Tate Britain) or St Ives.
