DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the spring 2025 Distinguished Lecture in Asi
 an Art in Honor of the Lijin Collection\, featuring Tiffany Sia in a discu
 ssion with Stanford faculty members Pavle Levi and Gordon Chang. They will
  discuss her practice at large and the works in the single-gallery exhibit
 ion No Place\, Sia’s first solo presentation in a museum\, on view at th
 e Cantor from April 9–August 29\, 2025. RSVP here.\n\nNo Place presents 
 two landscape films which relate a story of exile\, the escape of the arti
 st’s family from Cold War-era Shanghai to Hong Kong under the guise of v
 acation. These twin works counter documentary reenactment to vivify what S
 ia’s refers to as “no place\,” locales made spectral through violenc
 e and forgetting\, “whose specificities are blurred by invasion and host
 ility.” \n\nIn A Child Already Knows\, a short film recounted as if from
  the perspective of Sia’s father as a young child of nine\, the most sen
 sational details of the story are kept just outside of the child’s aware
 ness. Between the images—clips drawn from early Mao-era cartoons\, inter
 titles\, and newsreel—the work recreates a necessarily fragmented and fl
 ickering memory. \n\nThe three-channel video Journey From North to South (
 2024) traces a road trip that begins in New York and ends in Biloxi\, Miss
 issippi\, attempting a reenactment of a southward exile using another land
 scape as proxy. The camera barely rests\, capturing a 22-hour duration of 
 highways spanning night and day.\n\nSia shares with film and media scholar
  Pavle Levi an interest in the possibility of Cinema by Other Means\, espe
 cially in its consideration of the importance of the interstitial and elli
 ptical in creating meaning. An expert in America-Chinese relations and the
  Chinese diaspora\, Historian Gordon H. Chang offered the term No Place in
  a 2022 conversation with Sia about her own family’s exilic experience. 
 \n\nTiffany Sia is an artist\, filmmaker and writer who was born in Hong K
 ong and currently lives and works in New York. Her films have screened at 
 TIFF Toronto International Film Festival\, New York Film Festival\, MoMA D
 oc Fortnight and elsewhere. The artist has had solo exhibitions at Artists
  Space and Maxwell Graham\, New York and Felix Gaudlitz\, Vienna. This yea
 r she published her first collection of essays On and Off-Screen Imaginari
 es (Primary Information\, 2024).\n\nAll public programs at the Cantor Arts
