About

Why this artist matters now

Mark Jenkins creates life-scale sculptural installations in public streets, positioning his work as performances where the urban environment and unsuspecting passersby become collaborators. His figures, often fashioned from tape, plastic, and mixed materials, occupy sidewalks and storefronts with an unsettling blend of whimsy and menace, frequently prompting police intervention. Jenkins treats the street itself as a stage for encounter, drawing on the situationist strategies of sculptors like Juan Muñoz to interrogate public space and the boundaries between everyday life and artistic intervention.
