Chad Person (born 1978) is an American contemporary artist primarily known for his sculptural and collage works.
[2] In this ongoing project, Person undertakes a DIY conversion of a swimming pool into a bomb shelter / survival bunker, highlighting the potentially negative outcomes of maintaining a hardcore survivalist mentality.
The intentionally controversial subject matter in project RECESS led Asylum to label Person "the most paranoid man in America".
[6][7][8] One such work, Yixing Teapot and iPod (from the series Worshipping Mammon: An Exploration of Value), is in the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art.
[citation needed] In 2015 he presented Prospector, a forty-foot high inflatable sculpture, in downtown Denver Colorado.
