Charles Lim

Charles Lim Yi Yong (; born 10 July 1973) is a Singaporean contemporary artist and former Olympic sailor. In 2015, he represented Singapore at their national pavilion in the prestigious Venice Biennale, with the exhibition SEA STATE.

Lim was a former national sailor who competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics representing Singapore in the men's 470 event, and Team China in the 2007 America's Cup.

Career In 2005, Lim began developing a body of work titled SEA STATE, which explores the political, biophysical and psychic contours of Singapore through the lenses of the sea. This work recalibrates the habitual behaviours of museum staff and the public, asking visitors to accept the coexistence of fauna other than themselves.
