Meet CMS Artist in Residence

CMS is excited to introduce Kaichun Chiang as this year’s second international CMS Artist in Residence. Kaichun is a full-time artist and teacher at the Taipei National University of the Arts, having studied art in France at Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris, Cergy.
Kaichun’s mosaic practice intersects the material and cultural history of Taiwanese archeology and geology. He will use his residency to expand his practice and research new mosaic works inspired by engaging with the city’s architectural history and mosaic-related practices at CMS. His interest in natural stone will lead him to new, experimental work that coincides with Chicago’s heritage and contemporary scene.
