David Kelley was born in Portland Oregon.
He grew up in different cities across the United States. He received a Bachelor degree in Literature and Creative Writing at Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut and a Master of Fine Art from the University of California in Irvine. He is currently based in Los Angeles California, where he keeps his studio and works as an adjunct professor of photography at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
Working interchangeably between Photography, Video, Sculpture and Installation, Kelley is critically engaged with the subject of performance. Kelley’s work makes use of a range of structures that comprise performance: language, identity, narrative, theater, light, site, the unconscious and the photographic document.
His work has been shown in galleries, museums, theaters and publications throughout the world. Most recently his video Flotsam Jetsam was played in the Museum of Modern Art’s 2008 New Directors New Films Festival in New York, and won the Golden Pyramid at the Cairo IMFAY Media Arts Festival. His video installation Three Reading was shown in August 2008 at Dobaebacsa contemporary art space in Seoul Korea.

Almost Persona Non Grata

Personas Project--Michael Moore, Alpha Executive, and Patti Smith. Who will be next in this gallery of characters? This was an intriguing and performative assignment.

Remakes From Photo History

Here's my attempt to remake the iconic pillows originally done by Felix Gonzales-Torres (Untitled, 1992).
Here's my re-imagined version After Felix Gonzales-Torres, 2011.

Well class, I can't believe I am going to share this with you!
Remember I talked about photos of drunk people who had been
integrated into installations by their "friends"?
