Jason Lim is a contemporary artist whose practice is guided by the elemental forces of nature. Drawing from earth, water, air, fire, and space, he explores the interplay between material and spirit through sculpture, ceramics, performance, and photography. His works often unfold in durational processes, shaped by repetition, silence, and transformation.
Since 1994, Lim has exhibited internationally across biennales, museums, and land art contexts. Notable exhibitions include the 52nd Venice Biennale (Italy), Wolves in Winter at South London Gallery (UK), the World Ceramics Biennale (South Korea), Taiwan Ceramics Biennale, JIWA: Jakarta Biennale (Indonesia), and the Indian Ocean Craft Triennale (Australia). In 2024, he co-directed PingPong, a live art residency between Singapore and Vietnam. Lim has been central to the development of performance and ceramic arts in Singapore. From 2004– 2016, he was Artistic Director of Future of Imagination, and in 2021, he directed Singapore Ceramics Now, the first major survey of contemporary ceramic practices in Singapore. Across media and continents, his work seeks a space of quiet resonance—where attention becomes form, and gesture becomes memory.
