Biography

Jennifer Chuong’s research centers on art, architecture, and material culture in the transatlantic world, relating histories of the environment and race. Her work prioritizes the intelligence of makers and expands the understanding of how art is created. Current projects include a book manuscript titled 'Surface Experiments: Art, Nature, Making Early America,' which recovers the artistic, scientific, and philosophical fascination with surfaces and the physical transformation of the eighteenth-century transatlantic world. In this project, Chuong explores a range of experimental surface techniques, including mezzotint engraving, paper marbling, veneer furniture, and oil painting. Prior to joining the Art History Program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, she held postdoctoral fellowships at the Harvard Society Fellows and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
