One hundred works by Mongolian artists will be shown in an exhibition at HyCP Veddel Space in Hamburg. Curated by Katja Brinkmann, the show entitled “зуу hundert” will open on November 7, 2024, at 7 pm and will be on display until November 24.
The exhibition is the third part of a larger exchange project to mark the anniversary of 50 years of German-Mongolian diplomatic relations: 100 Mongolian artists have already shown their work at the BCMA Gallery in Berlin in June and July of this year; in return, 100 works by artists based in Germany were shown in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in September under the title “hundert зуу”. Parallel to the third exhibition at HyCP Veddel Space in Hamburg, two Mongolian artists have been invited for a residency to live and work here for a month. The exhibition project aims to present the art scenes of the respective other countries and create a connection between German and Mongolian artists. The Mongolian word “зуу“ [zu:] means “hundred,” and so the idea of exchange and encounter is already reflected in the title.
Mongolia is a comparatively young democracy. In 1992, almost 70 years of Soviet-style socialism came to an end, and the huge, sparsely populated country became capitalist. The challenges of this political and social change still characterize Mongolian society today. This is particularly noticeable in the visual arts: many artists continue to work in the canon of socialist realism, which had replaced a rich tradition influenced by folk art and Buddhism and still shapes the teaching at the State Academy of Art today.
At the same time, artists of all generations are orienting themselves towards Western art forms, exchanging ideas with other Asian countries and working with contemporary media such as installation, photography, video, performance and land art. The proportion of female artists has also increased significantly. In addition, the “Mongol Zurag” (Mongolian national style painting) based on the traditions of Buddhist Thanka painting plays an important role: questions about Mongolian identity, nomadic traditions, the new society and globalization are themes that can be found not only here, but in works of all genres.
“зуу hundert” presents a broad spectrum of artistic positions, both in terms of working methods and media as well as the age of the artists. From drawing, painting and printmaking to photography, land art and performance documentation, everything is represented. The youngest of the participating artists, each of whom is represented with an unframed work on paper or similar, is 23 years old, while the oldest is 83 years old. Most of the works come directly from Mongolia, but some Mongolian artists living in Germany are also represented. The aim is to present the current Mongolian art scene in all its diversity. Projects organized by artists, such as the BcmA Gallery and Hyper Cultural Passengers e.V. in Hamburg, are ideal places not only to make the works accessible to a wider public, but also to encourage exchange and networking between German and Mongolian artists.
The project is an initiative of the artist Katja Brinkmann, who organizes and curates exhibitions in Hamburg and Berlin as well as Ulaanbaatar. Katja Brinkmann has been living and working in Mongolia for long periods of time for many years. She has taken part in various exhibitions and projects there and taught for three years at the Mongolian University of Art and Culture. She has already initiated artistic networking at student level through a joint German-Mongolian student exchange with the Ulaanbaatar School of Art and the Mainz University of Applied Sciences in the summer of 2023.
