Jan Tichy is a contemporary artist and educator. Working at the intersection of video, sculpture, architecture, and photography, his conceptual work is socially and politically engaged. Born in Prague in 1974, Tichy studied art in Israel before earning his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is now associate professor in the Department of Photography and Department of Art & Technology Studies. Tichy has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP), Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; CCA Tel Aviv; Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford Connecticut; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others. His works are included in numerous public collections, including the MoCP collection, as well as the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
In 2011, Tichy created Project Cabrini Green, a community-based art project that illuminated with spoken word the last high-rise building of the Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago during its month-long demolition. Beyond Streaming: a sound mural for Flint at the Broad Museum in Michigan in 2017 brought teens from Flint and Lansing to share their experiences of the ongoing water crisis. In 2014, Tichy started to work on a long-term, NEA-supported, community project in Gary, Indiana—the Heat Light Water cultural platform.
