Career
Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Reid Kelley’s black and white videos fuse classical drama, modern literature and contemporary popular culture into observations on gender, class, and urban development. They satirize the promise of progress through dense layering of cultural references ranging from southern church socials and women's magazines to Borges and Baudelaire. Reid Kelley is represented by the galleries Pilar Corrias Gallery in London, Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects in Los Angeles, California and Fredericks & Freiser in New York, New New York
