Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn is an artist whose work utilizes strategies of remembrance to highlight unofficial and suppressed histories. Interweaving the factual and the speculative and often employing mythologies of otherworldly realms, Nguyễn’s films, installations, and sculptural practice re-work dominant narratives into stories that propose creative forms of addressing the intergenerational traumas of colonialism, war, and displacement. 

Nguyễn received a BFA from the University of California, Irvine in 1999 and an MFA from The California Institute of the Arts in 2004. He is a founding member of The Propeller Group, an entity that positions itself between an advertising company and an art collective. He recently had a solo exhibition at the New Museum, NY and his work has been included in major international festivals, biennials, and exhibitions including at the 12th Berlin Biennale; Manifesta 14; Aichi Triennale; Biennale de Dakar; Asian Art Biennial at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan; SFMOMA, San Francisco, CA; 2019 Sharjah Biennial; 2017 Whitney Biennial; among many others. Nguyễn is the recipient of the 2023 Joan Miró Prize. His work is included in the permanent collections of institutions including Philadelphia Museum of Art, MoMA, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
