Martin Kersels: Heavyweight Champion
Southern California artist and student of Chris Burden and Paul McCarthy, Martin Kersels' first retrospective spans from 1994 to 2007. The exhibition at the Santa Monica Museum of Art includes 33 multi-media artworks including mechanized sculptures of a prosthetic leg kicking in a wall, large-scale photographs of the artist falling, stumbling, and getting knocked around, and monumental installations such as Dionysian Stage, a huge, spinning willow-branch nest filled with household objects.
