Karthik Pandian
is an artist who works in exhibitions and public interventions to unsettle the ground of history. He uses moving image, sculpture, and performance to render the mythologies of the present through forgotten, fragmentary, and futuristic pasts. Pandian has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York City), Bétonsalon (Paris), and Midway Contemporary Art (Minneapolis). His work has been featured in numerous survey exhibitions, including the first edition of “Made in L.A.” at the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles); “La Triennale: Intense Proximity” at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris); and “Adventures of the Black Square: Abstract Art and Society, 1915–2015,” at Whitechapel Gallery (London). He is currently working on a series of temporary public artworks in Boston and Minneapolis, which can be followed on Twitter via @videocommune. Pandian teaches in the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University.
