Chloe Bass is an American conceptual artist who works in performance and social practice. She is an Assistant Professor of Art and Social Practice at Queens College, CUNY, and holds a BA from Yale University and an MFA from Brooklyn College.

Chloe Bass’s first institutional solo exhibition; Wayfinding is presented by The Studio Museum in Harlem. It features twenty-four site-specific sculptures focusing on three central questions: How much of care is patience? How much of life is coping? How much of love is attention?

Through a combination of text and archival images, the sculptures encourage moments of intimacy and private reflection in public space.

“I study the depth of what is already at hand. My work is not seeking to invent, but to reveal. I believe in performance as participation, and installation as scrutiny. If I succeed, I will become the world’s most invisible performance artist: always present, but unseen. Without you, my work is nothing.”- Chloe Bass
