Eric and Heather ChanSchatz: 10,483,200 Minutes presented a selection of paintings, works on paper, books, and a new sculpture by the New York-based conceptual artists, which inhabit the architecture and psychology of the social condition. 

Set within the dome-clad walls of the architectural units, the sculpture foregrounds four site-specific wall painting projects depicting recent communities with which they have engaged. These communities include the choreographer Merce Cunningham and his dance company, American soldiers stationed in Iraq, coal miners of Western Pennsylvania, and the artists’ neighbors on their block in the Meatpacking District of New York City. Complementing the artists’ project work, 10,483,200 Minutes includes their on-going book projects. This multi-volume artwork highlights the research-based methodologies and discursive nature of the practice of Eric and Heather ChanSchatz. 

In response to working with the MCA Denver, ChanSchatz created dsp.0102 MCA, a project that was completed over the course of the exhibition as guests participated in any of the twenty-two languages that were utilized in the creation and implementation of this project.

Eric Chan was born in 1968 in Tokyo, Japan and Heather Schatz was born in 1968 in Dallas, Texas. They live and work in New York.
