Dean Kissick is a writer and lives in New York. He is a contributing editor of Spike Art Magazine where for many years he chronicled the vicissitudes of New York's art scene. Dean also hosts the Seaport Talks, a monthly series of conversation with critics at the bar T.J. Byrnes in Manhattan. This summer he and Eleanor Cayre have co-organized the exhibition Ugly Painting at Nahmad Contemporary, New York City.
Christopher Kulendran Thomas is an artist, of Tamil descent, who spent his formative years in London after his family left escalating ethnic oppression in Sri Lanka. Seeing, mostly from a distance, how an ascendent contemporary art scene in Sri Lanka blossomed from the ashes of ethnic cleansing on the island, he began examining the structural processes by which art produces reality.
Dean and Christopher will be playing music and talking about Christopher's ongoing exhibition at Kunsthalle Zürich. The discussion will be in English.
