Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Patty Chang
Since her sensational appearance on the New York art scene in the late 1990s with performance art and performance-based video works, Patty Chang has continually explored the limits of our physical and psychological comfort zone.Patty Chang was born in San Leandro, California, in 1972. Originally trained in painting, she is now primarily known for videos and photography documenting her own performances. Using her body as a medium of expression, she employs satire to question contemporary gender issues and to lead viewers to reconsider the popular image of China in the West and in Asia. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Chang's latest solo exhibitions include “The Product of Love,” Mary Boone Gallery, New York (2009); and “Die Ware Liebe,” Arratia, Beer, Berlin, Germany (2009); recent group exhibitions include “Chewing Color: Patty Chang, Kate Gilmore, Marilyn Minter,” MTV HD Screen, Times Square, New York (2009); “The F Word,” The Western Front, Vancouver, Canada (2008); “You Are My Mirror 1 (Je T’aime Moi Non Plus),” FRAC Lorraine, Metz, France (2008). Location: 102 Wurster Hall, UC Berkeley
