Steven Lam is a research-based artist working in performance, video, sculpture, net-art, and writing. Using the past as material, Lam’s practice excavates periphery moments in cultural and political memory in an effort define how history (and its projected future) are reinforced through personal and institutional conditioning. His work is currently at Aljira Center for Contemporary Art in Newark and will be in an upcoming exhibition at Tyler School of Art in October. This winter he will premier a curatorial project, Spectral Evidence for Rotunda Gallery in Brooklyn.
