Carson Chan was recently the inaugural director of the Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and Natural Environment at the Museum of Modern Art, where he was also curator of Architecture and Design. There he developed, led, and implemented the Ambasz Institute’s manifold research initiatives through a range of programs, including exhibitions, public lectures, conferences, seminars, and publications. His exhibition, Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism, was the first large-scale exhibition exploring environmental architecture at MoMA. Previously, he co-curated the 4th Marrakech Biennale in 2012, and was executive curator of the Biennial of the Americas in Denver in 2013. Chan’s writing on art and architecture appears regularly in books, catalogs, and periodicals such as Frieze, Texte zur Kunst, and 032c, where he was editor-at-large.
