Christopher Kulendran Thomas & Joshua Citarella
Christopher Kulendran Thomas spoke with artist, writer, and podcaster Joshua Citarella inside Kulendran Thomas’s exhibition Peace Core at Gagosian, Park & 75, New York. The pair discussed the makings and meanings of the exhibition, which juxtaposed a video work of infinite duration that continually remixes and reedits American television footage from the morning of September 11, 2001, with six expressionistic paintings based on AI-generated images depicting a largely undocumented massacre in Sri Lanka in 2009, perpetrated in the wake of the “war on terror.”
