Early life
Born in Concord, Massachusetts (1979) Lin graduated from Brown University (2001) while receiving her double BA in Visual Arts and Art Semiotics. She then attended San Francisco Art Institute for her MFA in New Genres (2004).
Career
Lin is known for her ethnographic approach to art-making alongside crude fantasy scenes. The post-colonial critique behind Lin's work can be seen in her piece, Dildos (Corn Hill, Queen Victoria, Bird in Space) first shown at a solo show at Francois Ghebaly Gallery. Here, dildos encased in bell jars are made from molds of corn and are either pink, white, or black-hyperbolic "skin tones".
From 2004 to 2011 Lin was awarded several residencies, grants, and fellowships. These include the Frankfurter Kunstverein Deutsche Borse Residency, Sacatar Foundation Artist Residency in Brazil in 2011. In 2010 she was invited to the Banff Centre Artist Residency in Canada and the Department of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs CEI grant. The Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship was awarded to her in 2009, and AIR at CESTA located in the Czech Republic, in 2004.
Personal life
Candice Lin lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She is a co-founder and co-director of the artist space Monte Vista Projects.
