Christopher Kulendran Thomas - Art Beyond Spectatorship - Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler - Berlin

through April 20th 2013

Taking as materials the whole system by which art is distributed, existing artworks are purchased from the politically unstable margins of international art power and reconfigured to fund a part-clandestine evisceration of contemporary art’s globalising mission. Through this ongoing insurgent enterprise, cultural exchange is explicitly perverted by the underlying colonial trading patterns that it usually masks. Art here is ecologically contingent within its networked reality. Counter-manipulating imperial interdependencies of art and war, a conspiracy of consequences is set in motion that extends beyond the work’s as yet visible horizons.
