Born and raised in Los Angeles, Channing Hansen has been involved in art-making from a very early age. As a teenager, he wrote poetry and performed at such landmark LA venues as the Onyx Café, Café Troy, and LACE. In addition, he co-published a zine, Youthless, with his brother, Beck Hansen, and friend Rain Spurlock. In 1998, in conjunction with Playing With Matches, a touring exhibition featuring the work of his grandfather, Fluxus artist Al Hansen, and his brother Beck, he began performing Elegy for Fluxus Dead, a performance created by Al. Channing has performed Elegy and Yoko Ono Piano Drop, an Al Hansen happening, at venues including Andrea Rosen Gallery and Thread Waxing Space, both New York; Track 16, Santa Monica, California; The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto; the Schloss Moyland Museum, Bedburg-Hau, Germany; the Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, and La Foret, Tokyo. He has also performed his own works at Städt Museum, Cologne, and Mercer Union, Toronto.
