Chasing the Wolf

September 07 - October 26,2024

From Liliana Bloch Gallery:

"From September 7th to October 26th, Liliana Bloch is pleased to present a two-person exhibition entitled Chasing The Wolf featuring the works of Nomin Bold & Bataarzorig Batjargal. This will be the first Baatarzorig Batjargal exhibition in the US.

Bold and Batjargal’s body of work is an ongoing investigation and denunciation of the brutality of Mongolia’s neoliberalism policies aimed at corporate gain at the expense of people’s well-being. Both artists use Mongol Zurag (Translated as Mongolian painting) developed in the 1950s by Nyam-Osoryn Tsultem (1924-2001) to protect cultural heritage and national identity. Tsultem was key to conceptualizing an independent “national style” that connected nomadic and Buddhist cultures. Mongol Zurag was born as an act of rebellion that exists today against social realism aesthetics. Bold’s work focuses on a critical approach to Mongolian society's transition to modernity while Batjargal’s work is an amalgam of the Mongolian mythological and spiritual world confronted with modern symbols of development."

Reception: September 07, 2024 | 5-7 pm
