Overview

Fiona Tan has occupied a pivotal position with­in contemporary art since the late 1990s; her moving-image and photographic artworks are familiar from many key international biennials and exhibitions. Fiona Tan explores history and time and our place within them, working within the contested territory of representation. Deeply ­embedded in all of Fiona Tan's work is her ­fas­cination with the mutability of identity, the deceptive nature of representation, and the play of memory across time and space in a world ­increasingly shaped by global culture. Both books mark the occasion of Fiona Tan's first extensive mid-career retrospective, ­presented concurrently at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg and Kunsthalle Krems. The exhibition cata­logue ­dis­cusses the works drawn from two decades shown across both ­venues, including the newly com­missioned video works GRAY GLASS and PICKPOCKETS.
