…and the Cosmos returns to claim its place

About the artist:

Tina Lam was born in Montréal/Tio'tia:ke/Mooniyang, and raised by Cambodian-Chinese refugees. She creates large-scale sculptures and installations born out of land-art interventions to muse about humanity’s mystical entanglement with the beyond-human. She graduated from Cornell University (MFA Studio Arts), Concordia University (BFA Studio Arts) and McGill University (PhD Chemistry). She has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Quebec Council for the Arts, and was a finalist for the 2024 Polygon Prize recognizing practices that delve into unexplored avenues of research that have the potential to fuel debate and change both aesthetic and social benchmarks. She has attended many residencies, namely at Shandaken: Storm King, NARS Foundation, Sagamie, and the Carving Studio & Sculpture Center. Her work has been exhibited at Ortega Y Gasset and NARS Foundation (Brooklyn), Jack Hanley Gallery (Manhattan), Le Livart and articule (Montreal), Upstairs Gallery (Toronto), L’Écart (Rouyn-Noranda) and Sagamie (Alma). In 2025, Lam was a finalist for the CIBC C² Art Program (Toronto) and was a participant in the ARTCH Program championing emerging artists in Montreal. In 2026, Lam was nominated for the William and Meredith Saunderson Prize for Emerging Visual Artists.
