Description
With her new work Disorient , Fiona Tan represents the Netherlands at the fifty-third Venice Biennale. Her audio-visual installation refers to Venice’s pivotal position in the history of geostrategy in the time before the discovery of new routes to Asia diluted the city’s power. Fiona Tan describes herself as "a professional foreigner, whose identity is defined by that which I am not." Her recent notable exhibitions include the Vancouver Art Gallery; Freer Galleries, Washington; New Orleans Biennial; New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; ICP Triennial, New York; Documenta 11, Kassel; and the forty-ninth Venice Biennale.
