/MONTSAME/ Mongolian artist T.Enkhbold is participating in the
9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (Apt9),being held from Nov
24, 2018 to Apr 28, 2019 in the Queensland
Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia.
Artist T.Enkhbold is known for his installations of
Mongolian traditional ger and customs related to ger, and paintings drawn using
horse dung, rust, sackcloth, ash and other materials. With his installation works,
T.Enkhbold has toured Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, Helsinki, Finland,
Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, Manchester,
the UK, Venice, Italy and Brisbane, Australia so far.
During the opening ceremony of the Apt9 on
November 25, T.Enkhbold made performance for his installation in front of the Queensland Art Gallery.
When he described about his works, T.Enkhbold
said, “Through visual image, sound and scent, I try to create a contemplation to the viewers. The main aim of my project is to introduce
customs of nomadic people to the viewers travelling around with my self-built
ger. I think that the concept of human dwelling and facilities is connected to contemplation on limits of communication, space and performance”.
Until
April 29, 2019, best artists from Asia-Pacific region’s economic leading
countries such as China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Republic of Korea,
Singapore as well as small island countries will partake in the Apt9 thanks to
organizers’ continuous efforts.
Mongolian
artists are attending the Asia- Pacific Contemporary Triennial for the second
time in the scope of the cooperation of the Mongolian Contemporary Art Support Association,
and the Queensland Art Gallery. In 2015, representing Mongolia artists
D.Uuriintuya, B.Baatarzorig, B.Nomin and G.Gerelkhuu participated in the 8th
Apt.
About the Asia Pacific Triennial Of Contemporary Art, the Guardian magazine stated in its article that the exhibition is probably the only show of its kind in Australia that can lay claim to being truly globally significant, a sprawling event that features art from countries of the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, and in 2018, boasting 400-plus individual artworks from 80 artists and maker groups. And the APT9 is not full of those made-on-site works you find at events such as the Sydney Biennale, or video works that require only a projector and a data stick sent through the mail. The APT9 is a show of things – sculptures, paintings, photographs, large installations and hundreds of other objects.
