On the Next Economy
Christopher Kulendran Thomas

A digital project, part of Two Ears and One Mouth
  • Christopher Kulendran Thomas is an artist whose work manipulates the structural processes by which art produces reality. In his long-term project New Eelam, he asks how, in an age of technologically accelerated dislocation, citizenship might be conceived anew beyond national boundaries. Thomas is the founder and CEO of New Eelam, a real estate technology company that is developing a flexible, subscription-based service that grants access to (and collective ownership of) a stock of housing worldwide. Thomas has had solo exhibitions at Schinkel Pavillon (Berlin), Institute for Modern Art (Brisbane), Spike Island (Bristol) and Tensta Konsthall (Stockholm). His work has been presented at the 2017 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (Shenzhen); the Eleventh Gwangju Biennale; the Ninth Berlin Biennale; the third edition of the Dhaka Art Summit; and in exhibitions at the the De Young Museum (San Francisco), V-A-C Foundation for the 58th Venice Biennale, Tate Liverpool, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin), New Galerie (Paris), and Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Tate Liverpool (2013). Thomas lives and works between London and Berlin.
