Mary Kelly (born 1941, Fort Dodge, Iowa[2]) is an American conceptual artist, feminist, educator, and writer.[3]
Kelly has contributed extensively to the discourse of feminism and postmodernism through her large-scale narrative installations and theoretical writings. Kelly's work mediates between conceptual art and the more intimate interests of artists of the 1980s. Her work has been exhibited internationally[4] and she is considered among the most influential contemporary artists working today.[5] Kelly is Judge Widney Professor at the USC Roski School of Art and Design of the University of Southern California.[6] She was previously Professor of Art at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she was Head of Interdisciplinary Studio, an area she initiated for artists engaged in site-specific, collective, and project-based work.[7] She was interviewed about her experience teaching at UCLA in Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World.[8]
