Mel Chin: Two Me
Mel Chin’s Two Me invites the public to elevate and pose as living monuments. A noted conceptual artist, Chin's work takes many different forms to pose philosophical questions about the nature of human experience and connection. Two Me was originally commissioned for the courtyard in front of Philadelphia’s City Hall in 2017. The site-specific installation will find a temporary new home on the front terrace of the Toledo Museum of Art where it will be on display from Sept. 22 through Nov. 11, 2018.
Artwork Credit: Original support for Two Me, commissioned by Mural Arts Philadelphia as part of Monument Lab 2017, was provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, Philadelphia.
Chin will be in Toledo for the opening dedication of Two Me on as well as his participation in SculptureX as the keynote speaker in the GlasSalon. Following his keynote talk Chin will participate in a book signing in the Glass Pavilion.
*Mel Chin's Two Me will only be open and accessible during Museum hours.
