			“To get back up to the shining world from there
My guide and I went into that hidden tunnel,

And following its path, we took no care
To rest, but climbed: he first, then I-so far,
through a round aperture I saw appear

Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears,
Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.”

—Dante Alighieri, Inferno

Lehmann Maupin presents A Comedy for Mortals: Inferno, Tammy Nguyen’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first in Korea. Inferno includes thirty-one new works in total: thirteen paintings, nine works on paper, and nine artist books, encompassing Nguyen’s multimedia practice. The exhibition is the first in a three-part series based on the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri’s canonical masterpiece of Christian literature. A Comedy for Mortals: Purgatorio will open in our London gallery in 2024, and the series will culminate in 2025 with A Comedy for Mortals: Paradisio, Nguyen’s New York debut. This fall, Nguyen will present a new body of work in her first solo museum show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.
