Bio

Audrey Chan (b. 1982, Chicago, IL) is a Los Angeles-based artist, writer, and educator whose work addresses civic discourse, rhetoric, and the feminist construct of “the personal is political.” She received a BA with Honors in Studio Art and Political Science from Swarthmore College and an MFA from the Program in Art at California Institute of the Arts. Chan co-organized Exquisite Acts & Everyday Rebellions: 2007 CalArts Feminist Art Project, a collective and inter-generational investigation of contemporary feminist art practice, including a symposium and exhibition. In 2009, she was an artist-in-residence at the École Régionale des Beaux-arts de Nantes in France. She published her first book, Conseil juridique et artistique / Legal and Artistic Counsel (2011), which explores the relationship between art and politics in French law. She is coordinator (with Elana Mann) of Shares & Stakeholders: The Feminist Art Project Day of Panels at the 100th Annual College Art Association Conference in Los Angeles in 2012. Her projects have been reviewed in the LA Times, New York Sun, Artweek, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and the OC Weekly. Her writing has appeared in East of Borneo, Afterall Online, …might be good, Art21 Blog, and the Getty Iris blog. She currently teaches at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
