About

Contemporary artist Tania Scott with her sculptural Time Capsules, New York Knicks championship sculptures, and the Empire State Building in New York City.

Tania Scott is a New York-based sculptor and installation artist whose work explores time, memory, and the preservation of human experience. Through sculpture, archival media, sound, and immersive environments, she transforms the visual language of everyday life into lasting records of culture.

At the center of Scott's practice is the Time Capsules series, one-of-a-kind sculptures created from original newspapers, magazines, and other printed media collected from specific moments in history. Rather than documenting the past, these works preserve the experience of living through it. Headlines, photographs, advertisements, and fragments of daily life are transformed into sculptural forms that continue to evolve as their materials naturally age, making time itself an active participant in the work.

Scott's broader practice expands this investigation through interconnected series, including The Art of Collecting The New York Times, Adventures in the Orgasmatron, and the forthcoming Money series. While each body of work draws from a different archive, all explore a common question: how can art preserve not only what happened, but what it felt like to be alive in a particular moment?

Alongside her collectible sculptures, Scott creates immersive installations that combine sculpture, sound, light, movement, and space to invite viewers into a physical experience of memory and time. Together, these works examine the relationship between personal experience, collective history, and the stories that shape cultural identity.

Scott has exhibited internationally and throughout New York, including the solo exhibitions Journeys for the Curious Mind (2025) and Timeless (2026). In 2025, she was longlisted for the Saatchi Gallery Open Call. Her work continues to evolve through new sculptural series and large-scale installations that invite audiences to experience history not as something observed from a distance, but as something encountered in the present.


Artist Statement

History is often experienced as information. I am interested in transforming it into experience.

My work begins with materials that were never intended to become art—newspapers, magazines, printed ephemera, and the visual language of everyday life. By preserving these materials in sculptural form, I create Time Capsules that allow viewers to encounter a specific moment in history as something physical, emotional, and alive.

I believe art can preserve more than events. It can preserve atmosphere, memory, perception, and what it felt like to live through a particular moment. Whether through collectible sculptures or immersive installations, my practice asks a simple question:

How can we preserve not only what happened, but what it felt like to be there?
