Eugenia Lim works across video, performance and installation to explore the formation of nationalism and stereotypes with a critical but humorous eye. Lim invents personas to explore the tensions of an individual within society – the alienation and belonging in a globalised world. Her work has been exhibited internationally at festivals and venues including the Tate Modern, Dark MOFO, Melbourne Festival, Next Wave, GOMA, ACMI, HUN Gallery NY, FACT Liverpool and EXiS Seoul. She has been artist-in-residence with the Experimental Television Centre NY, Bundanon Trust, 4A Beijing Studio with Shen Shaomin and in late 2016, will be in-residence with the Robin Boyd Foundation. Currently, she is working towards The People’s Currency, a major performance commission with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art for AsiaTOPA 2017. Collaboration, artistic community and the intersection between art and society informs her practice: she co-directed the inaugural Channels: the Australian Video Art Festival (2013), is a board member at Next Wave (2013–current), the founding editor of Assemble Papers (2011–2016) and co-founded temporal art collective Tape Projects (2007–2013). Her work is held in private and public collections internationally. She holds a Bachelor of Media Arts (Hons.) RMIT University and a Bachelor of Creative Arts, VCA / University of Melbourne.
