About the Item

Archival pigment print Signed and numbered, verso 18 x 24 inches (Edition of 10) 30 x 40 inches (Edition of 7) 45 x 60 inches (Edition of 3) This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Pipo Nguyen-duy writes: “​’The Garden’ is a collection of large color photographs documenting a series of abandoned greenhouses located approximately 45 minutes from Oberlin, Ohio. I photograph these abandoned structures to chart the various stages of growth and decay throughout the year. Aesthetically, ‘The Garden’ is a departure from my other work. With this project I am trying to document objectively rather than to stage subjectively. In ‘The Garden’ I use the camera to record facts rather than to use it as a subjective tool. Conceptually, this body of work is similar to another series [of mine] entitled ‘East Of Eden.’ Metaphorically, ‘The Garden’ is an inquiry into the Garden of Eden as an abandoned site (as if from the perspective of a natural scientist or archeologist). I have become increasingly intrigued with the idea of the abandoned greenhouses as a future relic of a man-made Garden of Eden. Beyond serving as metaphorical landscape, I hope that my images from ‘The Garden’ will also serve as a document of a vanishing part of Ohio’s unique history.” Pipo Nguyen-duy was born in Hue, Vietnam. Growing up within thirty kilometers of the demilitarized zone of the 18th Parallel, he describes hearing gunfire every day of his early life. He later immigrated to the United States as a political refugee. Nguyen-duy has taken on many things in life in pursuit of his diverse interests. As a teenager in Vietnam, he competed as a national athlete in table tennis. He also spent some time living as a Buddhist monk in Northern India. Eventually Nguyen-duy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics at Carleton College. He then moved to New York City, where he worked as a bartender and later as a nightclub manager. Finally, Nguyen-duy earned a Master of Arts in Photography, followed by a Master of Fine Arts in Photography, both from the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. Nguyen-duy has received many awards and grants including a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography; a National Endowment for the the Arts; an En Foco Grant; a Professional Development Grant from the College Arts Association; a National Graduate Fellowship from the American Photography Institute; a Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission; a B. Wade and Jane B. White Fellowship in the Humanities at Oberlin College; and three Individual Artist Fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council. He participated as an artist-in-residence at Monet’s garden through The Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Artists at Giverny Fellowship; as an artist-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, California; and participated in Light Work’s Artist-in-Residence program. Nguyen-duy has lectured widely and his work is part of many public collections in the United States, Europe, and Asia. He is currently a professor teaching photography at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio.
