Martin Kersels, Whitney Biennial 2010
Martin Kersels 5 Songs is a sculpture that has double life as a stage for performance. Designed with the idea that the performer needs to adapt to the surface and the materiality of the sculpture—and therefore never truly feels comfortable—5 Songs attempts to be an extension to any performer while at the same time being extended by any performer. Kersels has curated an eclectic mix of performances, Live on 5 Songs, to take place on and around 5 Songs throughout the duration of the Biennial.
