Sunday, September 18, 2011, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.

Item Special Note

Audrey Chan is a Los Angeles-based artist, writer, and educator whose projects address political and cultural identities, rhetoric and the feminist construct of "the personal is political" through performance, video and image/text. She received a BA from Swathmore College and an MFA from California Institute of the Arts. In 2009, she was an Artist-in-Residence at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, France. In 2011, she published her first book, "Conseil juridique el artisique/Legal and Artistic Counsel," which explores the promiscuous relationship between art and politics in French Law. In 2013, she was featured in the exhibition, "3 Solo Projects: Audrey Chan, Elana Mann, Chan & Mann," at the Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design. Chan was the recipient of an ARC Grant from the Center for Cultural innovation and the California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artist. She is currently working on a book about her performance as the Chinese-American doppelganger of feminist artist Judy Chicago.
