Abstract
What if the Vietnam War left behind baseball as one of its legacies? What if a Vietnamese rapper from Saigon could dialogue with the New York-based rapper named Saigon? What if propaganda, commercial advertising, and graffiti could be aligned in an aesthetic and sensory pattern, charmingly woven together to shape a Utopian urban fabric in Vietnam's major cities? Each of the works of Tuan Andrew Nguyen (born 1976) has embodied a proposal for an imaginary scenario, a fictional narrative that turns on a convergence of symbols or stories drawn from sociocultural paradigms that seem diametrically opposed.
