Eschewing a trademark style, the common thread through Chin’s practice is his conceptual rigor, thoughtful historicism, and concern for social justice. His land-based works such as \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eRevival Field\u003c\/I\u003e from the early 1990s and \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eOperation Paydirt \u003c\/I\u003e(2008-ongoing), garnered significant international press for presenting the science of soil remediation as an art form. \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; COLOR: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma\"\u003eChallenging the traditional concept of a retrospective as a linear presentation of a single individual’s work over time, the publication celebrates the artist’s practice of constant evolution, re-examination, and collaboration.
