Congratulations to SAIC alum Paul Chan (BFA 1996) on being named a 2022 MacArthur “genius grant” Fellow! Chan is an artist, writer, and publisher who works in a variety of media: from video, animation, and multimedia projects to charcoal drawings and conceptual typefaces.⁠

He has had numerous solo exhibitions, and his work is included in the collections of the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum among others.⁠

Chan was also former editor of SAIC’s student-run , and said of his time at SAIC, “I think in a way I came at a time when I needed a place that would give me a lot of freedom so I could learn on my own, and the Art Institute gave me that, so I got a lot out of it.”⁠

With pandemic restrictions lifting as more Americans get , are among the many public spaces reopening and welcoming visitors once again. Before the , museums were to keep the things they care for unchanged, to freeze them in a particular moment forever, in the name of preserving them for future people who will wander the same halls and look at the same objects; primarily void of the world beyond its walls. Is that still the case? The pandemic has touched every square inch of our society, and museums are not immune. Perhaps this is because a museum is nothing without its people or visitors. As these employees and patrons explore their new "normalcy," are museums immune from the events outside its doors?

Explore these questions and more with CAPX's esteemed panel of museum professionals on how museum practice has changed, what is the future, strategies for getting internships and jobs, and advice about degrees, education, networking, and career paths.
