Jason Martin is a collaborative practice between Los Angeles based artists Jason Kraus and Martin Kersels. Jason Martin's practice is an attempt for two friends to create a working dialogue around what they find enjoyable about art with a foundation in the history of Los Angeles. The work focuses on the themes of performance and play.
