Bảo-Khang Nguyễn is a visual artist and scholar of philosophy and religion. Nguyen's areas of research are the nondual traditions, apophatic tradition, mysticism, dialectical tradition, modern and postmodern philosophies, comparative philosophy and religion, as well as aesthetic theories. He seeks to bridge distinct traditions in order to see commonalities and from different perspectives, while at the same time recognizing their irreducible differences and particularities. The insights obtained from his investigations are integrated into his visual art and curatorial projects.
