One of the wisest, most beautiful and unsettling exhibitions in New York this summer is “Tuan Andrew Nguyen: Radiant Remembrance” at the New Museum, a show about coming to terms with the intergenerational trauma of war.
Nguyen works in video and also makes art objects pertaining to them.
Nguyen was born in Saigon, Vietnam, in 1976, and came to the United States with his family three years later.
The artist’s first major exhibition in an American museum, “Radiant Remembrance,” has been organized by Vivian Crockett, a curator at the museum, and Ian Wallace, a curatorial assistant.
Its video installations focus on people who live in the shadow of the two long wars for Vietnamese independence.
