Bulgan aimag, Teshig soum, Tarvagatai valley, height 995, latitude 49.7651, longitude 103.305, archaeological team, insectologists, wood researchers and artists ...
There our quest continues ...
What can we find in this specific space or a circumstance?
Any archaeological findings, new species of insects, or extraordinary works of art?
Relaxation in nature or a warm feeling you get from companions?
Ancestors spirit, the orb, the insects, the plants, the thoughts, the dreams, the temporal, the attempts to grasp all these turn into a question. But from there the quest continues. From diaries of artist Munkkh
The work was shown at the exhibition entitled SIERRA OF CREATION by Mongolian artists Tuguldur Yondonjamts, Munkhbolor Ganbold and Bat-Erdene Batchuluun organized at Art Space 976, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in January, 2020.
In July 2019, artists made a field trip to join the team of “The Archaeology of the Tarvagatai Valley” an archaeological collaborative project between the Institute of Archaeology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and Yale University, which has been conducting a research since 2010 under the auspices of doctors Jargalan Burentogtokh and William Gardner. During the field visit held in Teshig Soum and for the following months, the artists developed their ideas and created works, basing on their understanding on the scientific research process and results. The project is implemented by U.S. Embassy in Ulaanbaatar and Mongolian Contemporary Art Support Association with the framework of STRAX Program by The State Department.
