Gospel Rocket by Mike Kelley


This is a very very fun piece. The swirling video displays with people running in and out of a large curtain with a slash down the middle add this very strange element to the piece. It actually made me very dizzy walking around it.

The large sign which broadcasts the piece is also very funny.

I think the rocket itself clad in the standard church choir costume is likely the most anti-phallic phallic symbol ever. The sound and music of the piece are also very noteworthy. Likely one of the greatest pieces I have ever seen & it is part of a much larger work which I would actually travel to see!
