Lisa Tan

For Every Word Has Its Own Shadow. Artist and PhD researcher Lisa Tan’s project title originates from ruminating over a connection between the prominent Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector and the French literary theorist Maurice Blanchot, who disparately thought about writing and language in terms of an experience of loss. From here, her research departs into discreet but interrelated projects that address her longstanding interest in loss as a constant yet shifting condition of being that shapes the quotidian while anticipating the profound. Her work attempts to register various dimensions of loss and desire against a history of images and towards the artistic strategies set forth in Conceptual art. She is now focused on developing forms to explore a discourse around language, translation, representation, and the limits of appearance and disappearance.
