Title (Dublin Core)
A Fax Transmission from Oct. 21, 1986, 1.07pm.
Description (Dublin Core)
The success and allure of [Kelley's] works lie in the artist’s presentation of crude, commonplace materials in more formalized environments in order to draw out social questions and investigations that are otherwise unseen. The present work is another example that is representative of such artistic approach: comprised of office furniture and supplies, a fax/scanner machine, a computer as well as additional office paraphernalia, A Fax Transmission from Oct. 21, 1986, 1.07pm. presents the cubicle space and office life in a humorous and satirical way meant to question and investigate the meaning behind all the countless office hours, paper work and machinery that seem to inundate human life in the present day.
