Description: 
Jan Tichy is a contemporary artist and educator who works with video, sculpture, architecture, and photography.  Born in Prague in 1974, Tichy studied in Israel before moving to Chicago in 2007, 
where he earned his MFA from the School of the Art Institute and where he now teaches.  Tichy has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the 
Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art; Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago; and CCA Tel Aviv. Over the past years his work has been included in exhibitions in Barcelona, Basel, Berlin, Frankfurt, Helsinki, 
Jerusalem, Madrid, New York, Paris, Prague, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Venice, and Washington, D.C.  His work, Bats (2007), was recently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.  He was 
awarded the 2010 Nathan Gottesdiener Prize of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and in the March 2011 issue, Art Review named Tichy one of the Future Greats.  In spring 2011, Tichy created his largest 
installation to---date, Project Cabrini Green (2011), a community---based art project that lighted up the last high rise building at the Cabrini Green Housing Projects in Chicago during its month long 
demolition.
