An interview with Mel Chin

Fall 2012 + Winter/spring 2013 McColl Center artist-in-residence Mel Chin talks about his work as a "recovering conceptual artist". Known for collaborative, cross-disciplinary artistic explorations into socially, politically, psychologically, and ecologically charged topics, Mel Chin has created a body of groundbreaking work that has influenced a generation of artists and curators since the 1970s. Both analytic and poetic, Chin's work evades easy classification with each media and method he employs serving simply as a vehicle for investigating how art can provoke greater social awareness and responsibility.
