Lap-See Lam

Lap-See Lam, born 1990, based in Stockholm (SE). Lap-See Lam draws attention to the cultural history of increasingly-scarce Chinese restaurants in Sweden which are intimately intertwined with the imprints of the Hong Kong-Chinese diaspora across the world. Using fiction as a tool and the particular interior aesthetics of the restaurants as a formal language, Lam considers how the concept of a place constructs notions of cultural identity and belonging. Lam utilises technologies including VR, 3D-scanning and 3D-printing to create complex, immersive and poetic environments in her work. Recent exhibitions include: Galerie Nordenhake, Stockholm (2020), Uppsala Art Museum (2020), Performa 19 Biennial, NY (2019); Fondation Cartier, Paris (2019); Moderna Museet, Malmö (2019-2018) and Luleå Biennial (2018). Lam is a recipient of the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation Grant in 2017.
