DAN WANG: Dan S. Wang is an artist and writer born in Michigan in 1968. He has stayed for periods short and long in cities and towns all around the Great Lakes. When not in the Midwest or on either coast he may be roaming in China. Global capital and local crises, race relations and the geography of power, identity and social movement strategy—these are some of the big topics that get the curiosity treatment in his small drawings, small edition print works, small group collaborations, small event organizing, and other small media ways of creating rumors.
