Paul Chan
Paul Chan is an American multidisciplinary artist.[2][3] In October 2022 the Macarthur Foundation announced Chan was one of the 25 individuals chosen for the 2022 Macarthur Fellowships.[2]
Chan was born in Hong Kong, but grew up in Nebraska.[1]
Chan studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he earned a BFA in 1996, and at Bard College where he earned an MFA in 2003.[4]
Chan's early work included digital art, like videos and animation.[1]
In addition to being an artist, and a playwright, Chan founded the publishing house Badlands Unlimited, whose publications include poetry, erotica, and artist's essays.[1][5]
In September 2018 the Brooklyn Rail discussed his 2016 sculpture Madonna with Childs[sic], in the context of whether it "disrupts white behavior".[6]
