Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit

Mobile Homestead is a permanent art work by the late Mike Kelley located on the grounds of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. It's both a public sculpture and a private, personal architecture – based on the artist's childhood home on Palmer Road in Westland, a neighborhood which primarily housed workers for the Big Three auto makers: Ford, Chrysler and General Motors.

To coincide with the opening of the homestead, MOCAD presents Goin' Home: Mike Kelley's Mobile Homestead Videos and Documentation inside Museum galleries. Kelley and Artangel produced three hour-long videos based on footage of the travels of the Mobile Homestead on Michigan Avenue, intercut with interviews with different people living and working on that major thoroughfare. The Mobile Homestead videos were screened at the Whitney Biennial in New York in 2012.

Mobile Homestead is commissioned by Artangel in association with MOCAD, LUMA Foundation and Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts with the generous support of the Artangel International Circle. Community programs in Mobile Homestead are supported by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
