Nicholas Kersulis' practice applies systems of organization to cultural artifacts with formal devices such as montage, accretion, and erasure as well as conventions of exhibition display and graphic design.  Built into the resultant system is an implicit absurdity that questions the objectivity of the setup itself--a critique of systems in the form of a system. 

His recent exhibitions include the MexiCali Biennial 09/10, the Houston Area Exhibition, and One Hundred Artists See God.  From 2006-2008, he was a recipient of the Core Artist in Residence Fellowship at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and in 2009 he recieved a residency fellowship from the Ucross Foundation.  He has been awarded a Creative Capitol Professional Development Award, a Helena Rubinstein Foundation Award, an Ellen Battell Stoeckel Fellowship, and The Eliza Randall Prize.

Kersulis has shown in Los Angeles at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, the Occidental College Weingart Galleries, Circus Gallery, and Patricia Faure Gallery; and further afield at New Langton Arts, San Francisco; La Casa del Tunel, Tijuana, Mexico; Arthouse, Austin, Texas; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Nicolaysen Art Museum, Casper, Wyoming; Cabinet Magazine in Brooklyn, New York; and Charim Klocker Gallery, Vienna, Austria.

In 2007, along with Sergio Torres-Torres, he co-organized De Pasada Por Los Angeles for Atelier als Supermedium Artists Space for Contemporary Art, Den Haag, The Netherlands.
