David Khang holds a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design and MFA with Critical Theory Emphasis from UC Irvine. From 2005-2015, Khang taught at ECUAD and Goddard College, before pursuing legal education. Informed by education in psychology, theology, dentistry and law, Khang’s practice selectively borrows from these disciplinary codes to compose interdisciplinary languages in visual, textual, and spoken forms. By performing with his body in time-based installations, he interrogates social constructions of race, gender and interspecies relations to re-imagine their poetics and politics.

Khang was born in Seoul, and lives on ancestral, unceded, and unsurrendered territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish, where he divides his time between art, dentistry and law.
