IV Chan (b. 1978, Hong Kong) 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 art practice delves into the intricate relationship between the human body and mind. She views our inescapable corporeal existence as tragic and ludicrous; sordid and 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. Probing this specific arena, namely the ”problematic body”, her research seeks to explore alternative perspectives and anticipations of one’s body in society.

Her selected exhibitions/projects include: “Our Birthdays (uncut)”(Art Central 2025, Hong Kong), “Cantando Bajito:Testimonies” (Ford Foundation Gallery, New York, 2024), “Poop me to the moon” (Para Site, Art Basel Hong Kong, 2023), “Art After Hours: Inside Outside ‘What did mother not tell me’” (Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, 2021).
