Nhan Duc Nguyen was born in Qui Nhon, Vietnam in 1967 and immigrated to Vancouver, Canada in 1976. His paintings have been exhibited across Canada. The big painting, Temple of My Familiar, a 32 metre, irregularly shaped artwork was shown in Belfast, Ireland. In 1997 two thousand paper boats evolved to an installation entitled Joss Paper Boats at the Roundhouse in memory of those who died of HIV/AIDS. Recent projects include core sample from the mountain of fruits and flowers, an installation at Banff Centre during the Intranation Residency Program in 2004, and, heyseeds, an altar erected at the Glenbow Museum in 2005 for the Alberta Centennial. Nhan is currently archiving Chicken Bank Images, the work of the late Sally Peanut, aka Warren Knechtel. Upcoming projects include “Dream of a Fisher’s Catamite”, a self-published zine based on Japanese wood block prints and Calling for Ba Ba… (Mrs. Ba), a series of altars to be installed in various pho (beef noodle) restaurants in San Jose as a part of ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose. |
