Jacqueline Ho脿ng Nguy峄�n

尤物视频鈥檚 School for the Contemporary Arts (SCA) is pleased to welcome Jacqueline Ho脿ng Nguy峄卬 as the SCA鈥檚 2017 spring Audain Visual Artist in Residence. Nguy峄卬 is a research-based artist currently living and working in Stockholm (Sweden). She uses a broad range of media while primarily relying on archival material to investigate issues of historicity, collectivity, utopian politics, and multiculturalism within the framework of feminist theories.

Together with the third-year visual art students, Jacqueline Ho脿ng Nguy峄卬 will develop counter-archives of vernacular images and micro-histories. The artist proposes theoretical and aesthetic reflections on the significance of the archive and its aporias. The aim of the workshops is to investigate the function of the archive and how it can be built from the bottom up to counter the conventional historical narratives of settler colonialism. In contrast to given, state-constructed narratives, the everyday migrants鈥� or aboriginals' story is disordered, uneven, and complicated. Various archival modalities will be experimented with including unorthodox approaches to classification, contested notions and forms of representations of citizenship, and knowledge production. Within the context of the classroom, Nguy峄卬 hopes to tease out the role of the artist as an activist archivist, which theorist Mark Wigley describes as 鈥渙ne who designs an archive whose purpose is to polemically rearrange the standard perception of the worlds outside [...] to change the direction of thinking.鈥� The students鈥� work with the Audain Visual Artist in Residence will culminate in a project exhibited at 尤物视频鈥檚 Audain Gallery in March 2017.

Nguy峄卬 will also run a series of digitizing workshops as part of , in partnership with , while in Vancouver (January 21-26, 2017). For more details, please contact the gallery.

In 2015, as part of SWICH, a collaborative project involving ten European museums of Ethnography and World Cultures she was the first artist-in-residence at the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm. Currently she is working with curator Rado I拧tok on editing Crating the World: Displaced Myths, Desires and Meanings, a compendium to Nguy峄卬's exhibition Black Atlas to be published in Spring 2017.
