Los Angeles-based artist Martin Kersels presents an MFA Visual Studies Lecture, as part of the 2009-2010 Pacific Northwest College of Art Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series. Kersels has long used art as a forum for wrestling with the limitations and possibilities of being a fully embodied, sentient and emotional being. He employs a range of media, from sculpture and photography to video and performance. He has worked on staff at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the UCLA Art Department, and currently serves as a faculty member and co-director of the art program at the California Institute of the Arts.

This lecture took place at the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, Oregon on September 24, 2009. A complete audio podcast is available for download at www.pnca.edu (less info)
