Nancy Chunn ![Chunn Chicken Little And The Culture Of Fear Scene 10 Poortown 25 Detail Building Stores](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/2464/Chunn-Chicken-Little-and-the-Culture-of-Fear-Scene-10-Poortown_25-Detail-Building-Stores.jpg) Nancy Chunn Chicken Little and the Culture of Fear, Scene X: Poortown, 2010-2011 Biography Born in Los Angeles in 1941, Nancy Chunn received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 1969. She began her career in Los Angeles before moving to New York City in the late seventies. Consistently concerned with political, sociological and cultural issues, Chunn’s work exposes geopolitical themes and the power of the media to define and control public opinion. A self-proclaimed “political junkie,” she achieved critical success with her early map-like paintings of tyrannized nations, and in her paintings over the past 25 years, she has continued her commitment to documenting world events. She has been widely recognized for the year-long Front Pages project in which she provided commentary by applying images and text on every front page of The New York Times from January 1 to December 31, 1996. Since this series, Chunn’s work has been filled with humorous references, satire and biting critique. Her latest series, Chicken Little and The Culture of Fear, restaged the folktale of the paranoid fowl to expose the media’s nonstop use of fear, real and imagined, to fuel the engine of the 24 hour news cycle. Chunn lives with her partner Mark Rosen and two Russian Blue cats in Manhattan.
