Timeline

1953

Theodore Sasketche Wan (June 29, 1953 – May 21, 1987) was a Hong Kong-Canadian photographer, conceptual artist, and performance artist.

Wan is most well known for his series of self-portraits in which the artist positioned himself as the "patient" in medical and surgical-style instructional photographs.

Theodore Fu Wan was born on June 29, 1953 in Hong Kong.

1967

Wan emigrated with his family to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1967 at age thirteen.

1972

Beginning in 1972, Wan studied under such artists as Glenn Lewis and Fred Herzog as an undergraduate student in the fine arts program at the University of British Columbia.

During this time, Wan went under the alter-ego "Mr. Normal," who dressed in formal attire such as bowler hats, suits and ties.

1975

Wan began his graduate studies in 1975 at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Wan's studio instructors included then-president Garry Kennedy (See: NSCAD conceptual art).

1977

In 1977, Wan applied for an official name change to the Registrar General of Nova Scotia from Theodore Fu Wan to Theodore Sasketche Wan, after the village of Theodore, Saskatchewan as part of the work Name Change (1977).

Throughout his career, Wan developed an interest in the theories of Marcel Duchamp and in particular the readymade.

At NSCAD, Wan developed an interest in medical and surgical illustrations and manuals and appropriated the tropes of such "official" imagery into his photographs.

During this time, Wan became a photographer at the Dalhousie University’s School of Dentistry.

In such series as Bridine Scrub For General Surgery (1977), Panoramic Dental X-Ray (1977), Draping Procedure For Shoulder Operation (1977), etc. the artist photographed himself as the "patient" in a series of medically accurate illustrations.

1979

At the Centre For Art Tapes in Halifax, founded by Brian MacNevin, Wan had a solo show entitled The Inversion of The Readymade which marked the debut of two photographic series: Bound By Everyday Necessities I (1979) and Bound By Everyday Necessities II (1979).

1980

He founded the artist-run centre Main Exit Gallery at 901 Main Street in Vancouver, BC (1980-1982).

Upon his graduation from NSCAD, Wan returned to Vancouver where he opened the artist-run centre Main Exit at 901 Main Street which operated for two years from October 1980 to November 1982.

After Main Exit closed, Wan operated a commercial photography service in which his clientele included exotic dancers, sex workers, and members of the Chinese-Canadian community.

For the rest of his life, Wan lived alongside his brother, mother and step-father and helped operate the family's funerary business.

1987

Wan died of sinus cancer on May 21, 1987 at age 33.

The artist's archives are held at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

2003

Posthumously, his work was the subject of a major touring retrospective, curated by Christine Conley, from 2003 to 2005 and was included in the 2010–2013 travelling survey exhibition Traffic: Conceptual Art In Canada 1965-1980.

2013

During the exhibition, Wan's photographs were shown in two distinct contexts: the "fine art" context of the gallery and also on the 13th floor of the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax.

The photographs were viewed as conceptual interventions when displayed in the gallery while they were seen as instructional and "objective" at the hospital.
