August 15 to August 28, 2024
Exhibition Zanabazar Museum, Ulaanbaatar

The exhibition at the Zanabazar Museum marks the end of two Art Camps and brings together the collected experiences of the German-Mongolian summer of 2024. Experiences in the Bavarian cultural landscape and the Mongolian steppe contrast with modern jet-set nomadism and the effects of man-made climate change. The exhibition examines whether resilience can be found in the respective cultural contents of the different cultures, which can be activated for a changed approach to resources.
The Zanabazar Museum is the ideal location. The collection spans a wide range from Bronze Age, shamanic-Tengrian artifacts to Lamaist ritual masks and thangkhas to modern Mongol Zurag paintings. The eponym Öndör Geegen Zanabazar, 1635 - 1523, was the first spiritual leader of Gelupa Buddhism in Mongolia and the most important artist, architect, poet and scholar of his time.

Artists:
Franz Ackermann, Heike Baranowsky, Baatarzorig Batjargal, Munkhtsetseg Batmunkh, Nomin Bold, Enkhzaya Erdenebileg, Gerelkhuu Ganbold, Karl Heinz Jeron, Simone Körner, A.R. Penck, Nadine Rennert, and other artists from the Blue Sun Center of Contemporary Art of Mongolia.
