Prem Krishnamurthy: Department of Transformation

Prem Krishnamurthy present a participatory-lecture performance unpacking the concept of participation in both artistic and everyday contexts, as well as framing the conceptual roots of Ways of Showing Up. Audience participation encouraged 😉!

Prem Krishnamurthy (b. 1977) explores how art & design can be agents of transformation for individuals, communities, and institutions. His multidisciplinary work manifests itself in books, exhibitions, images, performances, publications, systems, talks, texts, and workshops (+ karaoke!). He currently runs Department of Transformation, an artist-organized group that prototypes new modes of togetherness and mutual learning, as well as Wkshps, a multidisciplinary design consultancy. He received the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for Communications Design in 2015 and KW Institute for Contemporary Art’s “A Year With…” residency fellowship in 2018. His professional papers were acquired by Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies in 2019. In 2022, Domain published his book-length epistolary essay, On Letters. In 2024, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, König Books, and Kunsthal Gent will publish Past Words, an anthology of his writing and exhibition-adjacent experiments from 2009–2024.
