Chang Yuchen works in an interdisciplinary manner - writing as weaving, drawing as translation, teaching as hospitality, commerce as social experiment (see Use Value) and publishing as a dandelion spreading its seeds. Yuchen is also an advocate for the art of her mother, Jin Mei.

Yuchen is a recipient of the New York Public Library Picture Collection Artist Fellowship, the Queens Art Fund New Work Grant, the The Poetry Project Curatorial Fellowship, the Huayu Youth Award, and the Luminarts Cultural Foundation Fellowship, among others. She has shown and performed her work at Walker Art Center, Pioneer Works, Beijing Commune, the High Line, Carnegie Museum of Art, Amant, Artists Space, Para Site, and Tai Kwun Contemporary.

She has been an artist-in-residence at Triangle Arts Association, Smack Mellon, Asymmetry Art Foundation, MASS MoCA, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. Yuchen has written for publications including Heichi Magazine, Press and Fold, Art in Print, and Randian, and she currently teaches in the Dance MFA program at Bennington College.
