Statement:
I divide my practice between my studio practice in clay and performance art. I draw inspiration from many disparate sources including natural phenomena and the natural landscape. Inspired by these but not emulating it. I aim not to compete with nature; but for my work to evolve within the environment
I am interested in challenging and pushing boundaries, seeking new material qualities and processes.

Biography
Jason Lim was born in Singapore in 1966. Lim’s repertoire of works encompasses ceramics, video art, installation art and performance art. He has been invited to present performance art in more than 16 countries. Lim has organized and created various platforms for alternative art practitioners to meet and collaborate. He was co-Artistic Director of Future of Imagination 2 & 5, an international performance art meeting held in Singapore in 2004 and 2008 respectively. In 2007, Lim presented his work, Walking Sticks, at the 4th World Ceramics Biennale in Korea winning the Juror’s Prize. In the same year, Lim also presented Just Dharma and Light Weight at the Singapore Pavilion in the 52nd Venice Biennale. In 2008, his Yingge Dharma was shortlisted for the Grand Prize in the Taiwan Ceramics Biennale.
About Jason Lim by Louise Stern, 2006
When a word is repeated, it loses its meaning and becomes merely a sound. Every day we repeat our motions, walking to and from the loo, staring off transfixed into space after feeding the cat, serving a cup of tea. The tracks of our motions would become congealed if we left a gleaming slimy snail trail after us. The tracks would build up til they became neat rows of rounded and lumpy forms, like Jason Lim�s ceramics.
As a performance artist and ceramicist, Lim jumps back and forth. Sometimes he chooses to embody the repetition, and sometimes he makes the forms himself.
The forms of Lim�s ceramics are everything that is yet to come, that already is, that will never be, that is in Singapore and not there and that is in his body when he performs. They are all the same in their difference, all showing the meaning that comes and goes and the ridiculous task of trying to find it and pin it down. The ceramics move and at the same time are still. The repetition allows for that, the rows of lines or warts giving the viewer the choice of staying on one of the spheres, climbing into it, or moving on to the next.
The maker of the ceramics shows himself in the same light as one of these clay warts in his performance and video work. A recent Singapore Lab 2005 video loop shows the turning on and off of a faucet. In the same year, a performance at Tokyo�s Out Lounge Gallery sees Lim dismantling a broom made out of reeds bunched together. From a neat group they become neat symmetrical lines on the floor next to Lim. Always he surrounds himself and his work with things happening again and again, either motions or objects or lines.
