KARA CHIN
b. 1994, SingaporeKara Chin (b.1994, Singapore) works across animation, ceramics, sculpture and installation. She uses playful materials, strange scales and fragmented references in sculptures that come to life as hybrid creatures, constantly shape shifting between object, being and setting. Works often suggest quasi-religious ceremonies, devices or artefacts that reflect on our day to day relationship to fast evolving technologies and ecologies.
Chin lives and works in Newcastle, UK. She holds a BA in Fine Art from The Slade School of Fine Art (2018). She was featured in Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2018, and has been awarded the Woon Foundation Painting and Sculpture Prize (2018); The Duveen Travel Scholarship, UCL (2018); The Alfred W Rich Prize, Slade (2017); Max Werner Drawing Prize, Slade (2015).
Chin has exhibited at galleries and museums including: Goldsmiths CCA, London; Humber Street Gallery, Hull; The 8th Triennial of Art and Ecology, Maribor Slovenia; BALTIC39, Newcastle; South London Gallery, London.
