Kent Chan (b. 1984, Singapore) is an artist, curator and filmmaker based in Netherlands and Singapore. His practice revolves around our encounters with art, fiction and cinema that form a triumvirate of practices porous in form, content and context. He holds particular interest in the tropical imaginary, the past and future relationships between heat and art, and contestations to the legacies of modernity as the epistemology par excellence. The works and practices of others often form the locus of his works, which have taken the form of film, text, conversations and exhibitions.

He is an upcoming resident at Medialab Matadero and a former resident of Gasworks (2022) and Jan van Eyck Academie (2019/20). He has held solo and two-person presentations at Kunstinstituut Melly, de Appel, Bonnefanten Museum and Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst.
