Born in New York City, Takming Chuang currently lives in San Francisco. He lectures about art, serves on the programming committee of Right Window gallery, and makes sculptures and installations at his studio in Oakland. His interests center around the nature of impermanence and the range of emotions that arise between accepting and rejecting change. Chuang’s creative process incorporates the mutable potential of materials such as paper, brass, photographs, and clay to underscore the value of transformation. He has exhibited at SculptureCenter NY, the Hessel Museum at Bard College NY, Camden Arts Centre London, and the Berkeley Art Museum among other institutions. Chuang received his MFA in Art Practice from the University of California, Berkeley and a BA in Economics from the State University of New York, Binghamton.
