California College of the Arts - CCA | Kloe Chan | CCA 2021 Commencement Alumni Performance @CCAarts | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Commissioned for CCA's 2021 Commencement Ceremony, artist Kloe Chan created a poetic homage to the Oakland campus in the form of an archival book and original musical composition. The letter-size book is composed of five pages, each of which corresponds to one of the Chinese five elements of 金，木，水，火，土 （metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), and tells a larger story about the campus as a home for making in the fields of metal, glass, ceramics, and sculpture for 114 years.
Kloe Chan works with trash. Aside from consumed products that have reached the end of a life-cycle, trash also takes the form of discarded memories, dreams, relationships, places, heritages, and traditions. By confronting trash as an embodiment of our social and historical disconnect, her work serves as a living archive. For Chan, art has always been about people and community for her and she continues to seek to use art to bring people together, working in a range of mediums. Her work has been shown in the Bay Area and Shanghai, China. Chan was awarded an Artist Residency at El Cerrito Creative ReUse in 2019. kloechan.com
