Open Door Interview: Mel Chin

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.


Chin was invited to the Center as a Knight-Artist-in Residence, a multi-year residency program bringing leading contemporary artists to the Charlotte area furthering the Center's mission of advancing artists, community, and the creation of contemporary art.
