Jeremy Chu is a Singapore-born artist, trained in fine arts photography at the Art Institute of Boston. He also studied museology and exhibition making at the MIT List Visual Arts Centre, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute of Contemporary Art and Art Interactive, all in Boston. Chu’s solo projects combine performance, installation and photography to explore issues of marginality, dislocation, identity, ritual and desire. He has developed his visual vocabulary around a sensuous, highly tactile aesthetic, which is combined with keen political awareness and a working method that often invites audience/viewer participation, signifying Chu’s belief in the capacity for art as a cultural practice to reshape social relations. His performance and installation project The Fisherman’s Net: A Journey towards Reconciliation (2003) was presented at the Art Institute of Boston and his photographic series I Dream of a Red Pavilion (2006/07) was exhibited at Castlefield Gallery during the Asia Triennial Manchester (2008). Since 2004, Chu has also collaborated in and organised community-based art projects that involve social research and interventionist-strategies as a mode of engagement and enquiry. Such projects included Sifting the Inner Belt (Boston Centre for the Arts, Boston, USA, 2005) and National Bitter Melon Council (Boston, USA, 2005-present). In April 2008, Chu collaborated with fellow-Singaporean artist Kai Lam and the local curatorial group P-10 to organise the Symposium of the Local at the Asia Triennial Manchester. As a professional fine artist, Chu is represented in private collections in the United States of America and Australia. Chu lives and works in Singapore.
