Tammy Nguyen Poster

Created on the occasion of Tammy Nguyen's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, this poster features Nguyen's Ralph Waldo Emerson, 2023.

Nguyen has created a new, interconnected body of paintings, works on paper, and artist books. These works, inspired by East Asian landscape painting, are all related to the relationship between man and nature, landscape and wilderness, as articulated in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s influential book-length essay Nature, written in 1836 in Concord, Massachusetts. Nguyen maps the lasting impact of Emerson’s writing on still commonly held ideas about nature and landscape, especially through a studied consideration of land reform programs in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
