IV CHAN
Based in Hong Kong, IV Chan’s art practice delves into the intricate relationship between the human body and mind. She views our inescapable corporeal existence as tragic and ludicrous, sordid yet pure. Through sculpture, installation, photography and performance, Chan explores her own bodily experiences, grappling with themes of body politics, psychoanalysis, base materialism, and the intersection of folklore and mythology. Her research seeks to explore alternative perspectives and anticipations of one’s body in society.
Chan received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, a Post Graduate Diploma in Visual Art from Goldsmiths University of London, and an MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her recent exhibitions and projects include Our Birthdays (uncut) at Art Central, Hong Kong (2025); Cantando Bajito: Testimonies at Ford Foundation Gallery, New York (2024); Poop Me to the Moon at Art Basel Hong Kong (2023); and Art After Hours: Inside Outside at Tai Kwun, Hong Kong (2021).
