(KELLEY, MIKE). Kelley Mike. Los Angeles: Art Resources Transfer Inc., 1992. First Edition. Oblong 12mo. Printed Postcard. Performance Announcement. As New.. One 4 ¼ x 5 ¾" glossy cardstock sheet printed offset recto and verso, 1 b&w illustration. This is the postcard announcement published in conjunction with the June 29th and 30th, 1992 American premiere of Mike Kelley's collaborative performance piece with close friends Anita Pace and Stephen Prina entitled "Beat of the Traps" at the Gindi Auditorium of Los Angeles' University of Judaism. Unveiled earlier in the month in Vienna, it consisted of actor Alan Abelew and dancers Anita Pace and Carl Buckley interacting with musical accompaniment by drummers M.B. Gordy and Jonathan Norton alongside guitar and vocals by Stephen Prina. A brand new, most handsome example of this uncommon ephemeral item perfect for the Mike Kelley completeist.
