Chien-Chi Chang
China Town
April 16- May 22, 2004

We are pleased to announce an exhibition of color photographs by Magnum photographer Chien-Chi Chang from his "China Town" project published by National Geographic in 1998. Most of the works in the selection were shot in 1996, and several were made in 2002. The China Town images are quiet and keen observations with an insiders eye of the private side and everyday life of this New York community. Chang received a great deal of attention at the "Strangers" Triennial Exhibition at ICP last fall with his moving series of large scale black and white portraits of mental patients chained together as a form of therapy.

This exhibition is part of the first annual Magnum in May celebration which will encompass twenty exhibitions in New York. Additional press and a map with listings are available through www.magnumphotos.com.

Chang has been a Magnum member since 1995. He has won several awards, including the W. Eugene Smith Award on Humanistic Photography in 2000 and has two monographs in print: "I do I do I do" about marriage in Taiwan and "The Chain". His work has been exhibited internationally including at the Bienal de Sao Paolo and the Biennale di Venezia in 2001 and 2002. His work is in the Queens and the Los Angeles County Museums of Art.
