Wandering through the exhibition of Mike Kelley made me feel like walking on a playground, designed for adults.  By creating imaginary places, innocent scenes and loaded scenes the artist visualizes children’s fairytales together with children’s nightmares. From the impossible castles to the face of the terrified child in the video work, everyone can find or feel a connection to his\ her own childhood.
