Exhibition catalogue
Lauren Barnes, curator of We Are Ghosts, Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley’s first UK museum exhibition at Tate Liverpool, discusses the artists’ work and reveals the themes connecting films This Is Offal and In The Body of The Sturgeon.
Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley collaborate to create video works that combine painting, performance and poetry to tell surreal stories inspired by history and mythology. Played by the artists acting multiple roles, their characters speak in poetic verse filled with wordplay and puns to tell stories that imagine unrecorded histories.
