Reeve addresses the abject video and performance works of Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy. He identifies themes materials, processes present in their art. Offering detailed descriptions of Family Tyranny: Modeling and Molding (1987), Out o’ Actions (1998), and Fresh Acconci (1995) - with general descriptions of several others – Reeve frames their oeuvres as radical challenges to binaries underpinning art and Western society.
