Paul Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1973 and educated in the U.S. In the
wake of 9/11 and the war in Iraq, Chan has become a key figure both in the American art world and in the world of political activism. He is an artist whose work emphasizes what is specific to these two spheres.

Paul Chan creates films, animations and other works with references to Goya
as well as Japanese pornography, to the Bible as well as Samuel Beckett. Chan is currently exhibiting work at the Portikus in Frankfurt, Germany and earlier this year participated in the Whitney Biennial. Chan1s work was recently featured in Art in America and ArtForum magazines. Other exhibitions include a solo show at the
Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (2005), Uncertain States of America at Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo (2005), the Lyon Biennial
(2005), and Greater New York at PS1 in New York (2005). Chan lives in New
York.image: Paul Chan, 3rd Light, 2006 (courtesy of Greene Naftali Gallery),
