HA NOI (VNS)– A talk show and film screening will be held tonight introducing Canadian-French artist Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen.

Born and raised in Montreal but of Vietnamese origin, Nguyen is a research-based artist currently based in New York and Stockholm.

Recently completing the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Programme, her work has been exhibited internationally at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia; the Galerie Im Regierungsviertel in Berlin (2010); and Gasworks in London.
