Freddy Chandra is an Indonesian-born Bay Area visual artist.  He completed his undergraduate studies in Architecture and Art Practice from the University of California at Berkeley, and obtained his M.F.A in Studio Art from Mills College in Oakland.

His work consists of site-specific installations and multi-panel wall compositions.    Each installation is an immersive environment constructed as a place that encourages sensory understanding of physical space and temporal duration.  His compositions suggest a contingency in the rhythmic act of marking space and shifts that occur in our experience of time. 

Chandra has exhibited his work at various venues in the Bay Area, including the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, the Headlands Center for the Arts, the Kala Art Institute, UC Davis, and the Mills College Art Museum.  He is an Adjunct Faculty at Mills College, and has previously been a Summer Session Lecturer at UC Berkeley.   He has been awarded the Eisner Prize from UC Berkeley, the Trefethen Fellowship from Mills College, the Herringer Prize, a 2006 Kala Art Institute Fellowship, a Project Space Residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in 2007,   and a residency at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in 2009.

Freddy Chandra is represented by Brian Gross Fine Art in San Francisco, and Walter Maciel Gallery  in Los Angeles.   His first solo exhibition at Brian Gross Fine Art  is scheduled for September of 2009.
