Past
Patty Chang is a video and performance artist whose work explores boundaries of physical endurance, taste, and reality versus fiction. For example, her 2005 video installation Shangri-La takes as its subject the rural Chinese town that declared itself to be the real-life inspiration for the mythical "heaven on earth" first described by author James Hilton in 1933. Deemed "one of our most consistently exciting young artists" by the New York Times in 2005, Chang was a finalist for the prestigious Hugo Boss Prize in 2008. She has exhibited internationally, including at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Lincoln Center's New Directors/New Films 2008 festival, the Denver Art Museum, the Hammer Museum at UCLA, and the Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain. This program is part of the Reconfigured Vision: Technology Expanding Art Peripherals Lecture Series in which artists and curators discuss the ramifications and importance of imaging technology to art making. Cosponsored by Ohio State's Department of Art and supported by the Battelle Endowment for Technology and Human Affairs.
