Paul Chan has worked with the Teamsters, Indymedia, and most recently the Nobel peace prized nominated group Voices in the Wilderness and their campaign against the war (and now occupation) in Iraq. In December 2002 he traveled to Baghdad as a member of Voices. His video Baghdad in no particular order is based on footage he gathered there. More recently, Chan collaborated with the collective Friends of William Blake to produce The People's Guide to the Republican National Convention (2004), a free foldout map detailing everything a protester needed to get in or out of the way during the RNC in New York. Chan's installation and video work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, among others. He was included in The 54th Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, the 2005 Lyon Biennale in France, and the 2005 Guangzhou Triennial in China. His installation is featured this year at the 2006 Whitney Biennial. He lives in New York.
