Brian Gothong Tan

Overview

Brian Gothong Tan (b. 1980) is one of the most exciting and prolific multimedia artists to emerge from Singapore in recent years. A graduate in Fine Arts, Multimedia and Animation at the California Institute of Arts, his artistry has bagged him many accolades including the “Best Use of Multimedia” prize in the 2005 Life! Theatre Awards.

The prolific artist’s first solo exhibition, Heavenly Cakes and Sentimental Flowers, was held in June 2003. He also created Hypersurface, which was featured at the 9th Venice Architectural Biennale in 2004.

Last year, Tan represented Singapore in the cultural segment of the Commonwealth Games at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Federation Square in Melbourne. He was also the youngest artist participating in the Singapore Biennale 2006 with his installation, We Live In A Dangerous World. He recently completed Signs, Omens and Relics of Faith, an interactive multimedia installation as part of the 72-13’s Creatives-in-Residence programme in 2007. A master of many mediums, he was Director of Photography and Chief Editor of Pleasure Factory, an edgy drama screened in Cannes Film Festival 2007 under the Un Certain Regard section.

Invisible Children - produced by Eric Khoo’s Zhao Wei Films Production - is his directorial debut.
