Martin Kersels

Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School, New York

A lecture for the series 'Subjective Histories of Sculpture'


sintesi del comunicato stampa

This year, Martin Kersels, Agnieszka Kurant, and Allison Smith have been invited to present their own take on art history and consider the thematic focus of thingness. Martin Kersels emerged in the late 1980s as a performance artist and founding member of the Los Angeles-based collaborative SHRIMPS. Continuing to work in performance, he incorporates sculpture, photography, video and installation into his practice. Employing a comedic slapstick effect that engages in both humor and pathos, Kersels often utilizes his own physique as a driving force to investigate ideas about performative sculpture. Set within the social context of pop culture and suburban experiences, he intertwines the physical and psychological to create objects and characters that engage wide-ranging emotions, as they wrestle with the limitations and possibilities of the physical self.
