Field Work, 2008, an exhibition with Sydney Artist/Writer, Lisa Kelly at The Chrissie Cotter Hall, Sydney, Australia. 

​

Tan performed a series of interventions at the tennis courts and lawn bowling club adjacent to the exhibition hall, with the objective of looking out and drawing from the surrounding context. The subtle gesture of interventions includes moving artefacts like pennants, club displays into the exhibition hall and adding details to tennis nets.

By intervening with surrounding architecture and bringing in crucial artefacts from around into the exhibition space, Tan expanded the territory of art consideration beyond the designated formal or informal sphere, this pollination complicated and blurred the line of art and everyday life.
