Lisa Tan, US

Lisa Tan lives and works in Stockholm. Her work is imbued with personal narrative and marked by material and conceptual precision.

Video, installation, text, sculpture, drawing, photography and performance are the different forms in which her work takes shape.  The complexities of individual subjectivity and the formation of the self occupy her, as she often turns to literature and the history of photography to contemplate how a person’s relationship to the world and to others is shaped.

She is currently Professor of Art in the Master’s program at Konstfack University of the Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. She received a MFA from the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles (2001), a PhD from Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg (2015).
