Artist talk with Christopher Kulendran Thomas

Please join us for an opening artist talk with Christopher Kulendran Thomas with Artspace Senior Curator Katie Dyer. Safe Zone explores images on the precipice of major historical and geopolitical shifts—from twentieth-century modernism, the twilight of broadcast television, to the current emergence of AI-created images. This discussion explores how these turning points in image technology map onto the complex legacies of imperialism and soft power, raising questions on whose narratives are valued and distributed. This conversation also gives insight into Christopher's use of artificial intelligence in the artistic process and how these technologies might shape political art and discourse.
