Jarrett Eakins, inclass essay 9-29

In this multimedia essay, Jarrett Eakins attempts to assert a clear and elaborate argument concerning the work of artist Mike Kelley. He delves deep into the artist’s use of irony and humor and how each of these aspects is reflected in specific pieces of work, as well as how each of these aspects fits into the various themes explored by the artist and elaborates further on many of the more prominent themes. He also integrates an understanding of essays by Walter Benjamin, Umberto Eco and Roland Barthes by detailing how the assertions expressed in each of these works is demonstrated by the art of Mike Kelley. This is all accomplished through the use of myriad hyperlinks, pictures and sound.
