Background

About Michael B. Chang

SHORT BIO I grew up in the 70s on my grandparents farm in Denmark. My father was born and raised in South Korea and my mother is Danish. Two gifted draughtspersons, my parents encouraged me to draw from an early age and my decision to become a visual artist was thus a natural one. My earliest artistic endeavors were the sketches I did from tv-shows, cartoons and art-history books in my childhood home in the Danish countryside. I studied visual arts at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London in the mid-1990s, making my debut as a painter in Copenhagen in 2008. Throughout my career I have initiated, arranged and participated in collaborations with other artists. These have included work in the theater and multi- and single channel video projects, screened at various venues and spaces in the United States, South America, Canada, Europe, South Africa and Australia.
