Peggy Chiang
Peggy Chiang makes images and objects that scratch the laminate of representation. She works by abstracting conventions around value, labor, and material memory. Recent solo exhibitions include barn burner at Adams and Ollman, Portland, Wasted at Laurel Gitlen, New York, Fiend at hatred2, Brooklyn, and spleen and ideal at Prairie, Chicago. She is a 2024 Joan Mitchell Fellow and received an MFA from Rutgers University. Chiang is a Professor of Sculpture at the City College of New York, CUNY and lives in Brooklyn.
