Mel Chin's art is analytical and poetic. Alchemy, botany, and ecology are but a few of the disciplines that intersect in his work. Chin and his collaborators insinuate art into unlikely places, including destroyed homes, toxic landfills, and even popular television, investigating how art can provoke greater social awareness and responsibility.
Mel Chin is featured in the Season 1 episode "Consumption" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

Mel chin came and spoke at my school and i was extremely offended. All he did was ramble about his extreme political views and then show pictures of women naked.
