Phil Chang (Art MFA 05) received a Guggenheim Fellowship for 2025 in Photography.

He is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles. His work includes experimental uses of traditional photographic tools and materials, engaging with an expanded form of photography. Chang pushes the photographic process to its threshold by deliberately “misusing” materials and defying established processes. His use of expired photographic paper allows him to produce photographs that change over time, disappear, and question the nature of image-making itself. Through this approach, he interrogates how an artwork is produced, how it circulates, and how it is consumed. His works are held in the public collections of the Getty Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among other institutions.

Chang is an associate professor in the Department of Art & Art History at California State University, Bakersfield, and a faculty member of the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College.
