Hi All,

Whirled Cinema are very pleased to be screening Mike Kelley's Mobile Homestead film trilogy. Commissioned by Artangel with support from the Luma Foundation and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts the screenings will take place on the 4th, 11th and 18th November.

This trilogy of remarkable, documentary-style films charts the maiden voyage of the Mobile Homestead from downtown Detroit, along Michigan Avenue, to the ‘mothership’ that is the original Kelley home, and back again. Footage of the expedition is inter-cut with compelling testimonies from an array of people who live and work in Detroit, from bikers and prostitutes, to church officials and social workers, heroin addicts and heads of the automobile industry. A third film documents the opening ‘launch’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, where the completed Mobile Homestead stands today.

These screenings are open to members and non members, for a full list of films please visit our programme page, to book tickets please email cinema@whirledart.co.uk
