Mike Kelley GALLERY
Mike Kelley was a world-renowned artist, but also a dear friend of Beyond Baroque. Many of his earliest performances and exhibitions were held in our space. Throughout his life, he remained among our most generous supporters. Our gallery was named in his honor, as a gesture of gratitude and memorial, after his death.
EXHIBITIONS
The poem My trembling candle
A selection of visual poems by J.I. (Judy) Kleinberg
April 11 - May 9, 2026
Opening Reception, Saturday April 11, 3-5 PM
Workshop, Saturday April 11, 11 AM - 1:30 PM

The poem My trembling candle is a selection of visual poems by J.I. (Judy) Kleinberg. The exhibit features framed original collages, about 4.25” x 5.5”, as well as enlargements in several sizes. The work in The poem My trembling candle touches on both the physical and the metaphorical. Doors seem to open on possibility as often as they open into rooms or houses. Light and shadow interplay in mood and spirit. Birds (tap-dancing with cardinals) cavort in an abbreviated syntax that Kleinberg describes as “somewhere between Dada and Twitter, between ransom note and haiku.”
A Los Angeles native and a long-time resident of Bellingham, Washington, J.I. (Judy) Kleinberg is an artist, poet, and freelance writer whose poetry has appeared in print and online journals and anthologies worldwide.
