Please join us for a lecture with internationally renowned artist Mel Chin. One of the great idea generators of our time, Chin makes art that is both analytical and poetic, and evades easy classification. 

Born in Houston, Texas in 1951, Chin is known for a broad range of approaches in his art, including works that require multi-disciplinary, collaborative teamwork and works that conjoin cross-cultural aesthetics with complex ideas. Chin insinuates art into unlikely places, including destroyed homes, toxic landfills, and even popular television, investigating how art can provoke greater social awareness and responsibility. HIs work is found in the collections of several major museums including the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; Museum of Fine Art (MFAH), Houston, TX; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MN; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY.
