Erika Tan The ‘Forgotten’ Weaver / Norwich (2018) East Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts.
Erika Tan The ‘Forgotten’ Weaver / Venice (2017). Supported by National Gallery Singapore, National Arts Council Singapore, Arts Council England and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts.
Tan’s most recent research has focused on the postcolonial and transnational, working with archival artifacts, exhibition histories, received narratives, contested heritage, subjugated voices and the transnational movement of ideas, people and objects; her future projects point towards the digitization of collective cultural memory and cloud architecture through the prism of ruins, hauntings, and mnemonic collapse.
