Chinn Wang – Visiting Artists & Critic Series

The UCCS Visiting Artists & Critics Series’ tenth season features a lineup of presentations by artists and critics of national and international significance. Our goal is to foster understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through dialogue and critical conversations. Each VACS lecture takes place in the Chapman Foundation Recital Hall, next door to the Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery in the Ent Center for the Arts. Chinn Wang’s work employs coded visual languages and symbolic iconography to examine, problematize, and humorize the subjective nature of personal narrative and history. Current interests include floriography, sacred symbols, fortune-telling, and moments of spectacle in popular culture.
