Howie Chen is a New York–based curator who is a cofounder of Dispatch, a curatorial production office and project space in the Lower East Side. With artist Mika Tajima (see above), he founded New Humans, a noise band and moniker for collaborations with musicians, artists, and designers. Dispatch offers a model for curatorial production: an office for receiving and originating exhibitions, projects, and concepts treated as time-sensitive transmissions. He has curated exhibitions and programs at such venues as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (MoMA) in Long Island City (New York). New Humans was included in the Whitney Biennial 2008—a collaboration with Vito Acconci and musician C. Spencer Yeh—and more recently at SFMOMA with collaborator Charles Atlas. Chen is currently researching the ways in which critical practice can direct new collective strategies and negotiating positions and assert new forms of artistic production.
