Publisher's Synopsis
The project Mongolia - The Post-Nomadic Experience is an artistic exploration of the processes of modernisation in Mongolia, the multifaceted dimensions of nomadic life, and its significance in the visual arts. This publication is the result of a comprehensive collaborative exchange between German and Mongolian artists and provides profound insights into the cultural and art-historical background of this network of relationships—without, however, reproducing the romantic mystifications of the likes of Joseph Beuys. Ultimately, the project examines the tensions between the traditional nomadic experience and the "Nomadism" of today's Western artists, resulting in both critical and promising stimuli for trans-cultural discourse on contemporary art.

Penck, Anunaran Jargalsaikhan, Baatarzorig Batjargal, Badam Dashdondog, Batsaikhan Soyolsaikhan, Dalkh-Ochir Yondonjunai, Enkhzaya Erdenebileg, Franz Ackermann, Gerelkhuu Ganbold, Heike Baranowsky, Karl Heinz Jeron, Munguntsetseg Lkhagvasuren, Munkhtsetseg Batmunkh, Nadine Rennert, Narbayasgalan Ulambayar, Nomin Bold, Shijirbaatar Jambalsuren, Simone Koerner, Soninbayar Nyamkhishig, Tsenguun Odgerel, Tuguldur Bazarragchaa, Tuguldur Yondonjamts, Tuvshinjargal Tsend-Ayush, Zolboo Ganba.
