Biography
Biography
• Illustration — Silk screened printed banners for Fight at Liverpool Biennial 2018 Kerbel graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1996. In 2011 she won the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for artists. She works at Goldsmiths, University of London as a Reader in Fine Art. She was a 2015 Turner Prize nominee along with Bonnie Camplin, Nicole Wermers, and Assemble. She experimentally works in many mediums including light, audio recordings, performance and printed materials. An example of her printed work was commissioned by Liverpool Biennial in 2018, entitled "Fight". Another unusual piece of performance art was her use of synchronised swimmers at Glasgow's Western Baths Club for "Sink" which was commissioned by Glasgow's The Common Guild for Festival 2018, the cultural programme for the Glasgow 2018 European Championships and supported by The High Commission of Canada. Both "Fight" and "Sink" involved Kerbel choreographing the performers' movements to create her narrative. "Sink" was choreographed by Kerbel in collaboration with Adele Carlsen and Lorena Randi.
