The Museum of Modern Art Presents Uniqlo NYC Nights and Mike Kelley’s “Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites” at The Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art will be hosting its next Uniqlo NYC Night with the opening of the focused exhibition Mike Kelley’s “Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites” at The Museum of Modern Art on December 1st.

With a new gallery opening on the first Friday of every month—when the Museum stays open to all until 8:00 p.m. and offers free admission to New Yorkers for UNIQLO NYC Nights—these exhibitions will invite audiences to continue to explore MoMA’s dynamic collection and connect with art and ideas from more geographies and perspectives than ever before. Enjoy music by DJs from The Lot Radio, along with beer, cocktails, and more at our pop-up bar. Explore in the galleries, get creative with drop-in drawing sessions, and see a film in the theaters. Our stores and café will be open, too, so you can grab a bite in Cafe 2, get drinks at The Modern, or shop for unique design objects from MoMA Design Store.

On view at MoMA for the first time, Mike Kelley’s immersive installation is comprised of hanging spheres made of stuffed animals surrounded by abstract sculptures that periodically release pine-scented mist into the air. Deodorized Central Mass with Satellites, the artist’s most ambitious sculpture, is the culmination of a years-long investigation into the empathic relationships we form with inanimate objects. Using plush toys as the material for sculpture, Kelley transforms what was once endearing into something repellent, an effect exaggerated by the ambient smell of cleaning products in the air.
