The Montclair Art Museum is excited to present a solo exhibition for a talented young photographer, Tyler Chan. Chan, now studying photography in college in the Netherlands, created the body of work that will be exhibited while being a student at Montclair High School. This exhibition presents a series of intimate photographs that document the artist's life as a Chinese American high school student in Montclair. The work explores the complexities of adolescence through the lens of a bicultural experience, presenting a vivid and evocative visual diary that reflects both the universal struggles and the unique challenges of racial diversity and division, even in a community thought to be tolerant like Montclair.
Tyler Chan: Montclair Snap Memories is made possible with generous support from the Lyn and Glenn Reiter Endowed Special Exhibition Fund, Christine James and Nick De Toustain, Wendy and Andrew Lacey, Ann and Mel Schaffer, Toni LeQuire-Schott and Newton B. Schott, Jr.*, Margo and Frank Walter.
