Using a broad range of mediums including sound, video, film, printmaking and photography, Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen is a dedicated artist whose work shows a dynamism hard to be matched in all facets of her pursuits. Born and raised in Montreal (CA), French-Canadian of Vietnamese origin Nguyen recently completed the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program (2010- 2011). She obtained her MFA and a post-graduate diploma in Critical Studies at the Malmö Art Academy in Malmö, Sweden (2003- 2005), and had previously completed her BFA degree with distinction at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada (1999-2003). Nguyen was awarded a number of distinguished grants including the Bric Media Fellowship from the BRIC Arts|Media|Bklyn (2011), travel grants from the Canada Council for the Arts (2011 and 2010) , IASPIS - The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Program for Visual Arts (2010), in addition to the prestigious Swedish Research and Development Fellowship in the Arts (2007) by the Royal College of Fine Arts in Stockholm.

Amongst selected exhibitions, her works were shown internationally, such as Gasworks in London (2010), Pictura Gallery/Skånska Konstmuseum in Lund (2009), Cranbrook Museum in Cranbrook (2008), Rooseum Museum of Contemporary Art in Malmö (2005), and the Living Art Museum in Reykjavik (2004). She also participated in a number of sought-after residencies, such as the Banff Centre in Canada (2010 and forthcoming in 2012), L’appartement 22 in Morocco (2010), USF Verftet in Norway (2009) and is currently a researcher-in-residence at dia/projects in Vietnam (2011).

In addition to her artistic endeavors, her curatorial practice led her to a number of international exhibitions. She co-curated the video exhibition UNCLASSIFIABLE that travelled internationally and was showcased at the Museum of Modern Art Kiasma in Helsinki (2008), Overgaden Institute for Contemporary Art in Copenhagen (2008), the Darling Foundry Gallery in Montreal (2008) amongst many other renown institutions, alongside a curatorial contribution to the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo (2007).

Furthermore, her engagement to grassroot politics led her to be part of the editorial boards of the Swedish anti-racist magazine MANA (2005-2007) and the Swedish queer cultural magazine FUL (2008). In addition to her editorial commitments, Nguyen was an active member of the Remembering Olive Collective ROC (2008-2011). This women’s collective is composed of over thirty members including artists, activists, academics, archivists, curators, cultural theorists and community workers of varied generations and cultural backgrounds. ROC’s aim was to create public and permanent memories of Brixton-based activist Olive Morris (1952-1979), and sought to bring her history to wider public attention, by undertaking an extensive oral history and cataloguing project leading to the creation of the Olive Morris Collection. Their efforts were celebrated in Britain and were invited to contribute to events at the Third Streaming Gallery (2011), Gasworks (2010), the International Slavery Museum (2010), the Brixton Library (2009) amongst many others.
