A Conversation with Artist Mel Chin on Crisis and Connection
Submitted by Carmen Graciela Díaz on April 27, 2020
In a recent Monument Lab podcast, artist Mel Chin says the lesson from the coronavirus pandemic situation and other situations “is to exercise self-critique and empathy. How do you have to rekindle it for each situation,” he says.
Monument Lab speaks to Chin about this time of self-isolation and quarantine for COVID-19, how he and other artists stay connected, and, among other topics, his new S.O.U.R.C.E. Studio has a fellowship for women, trans, and non-binary artists to spend time developing their craft.
