Our Story
A TEMPORALITY
A unique cross-disciplinary project entitled A Temporality marks the third appearance of Mongolia at the International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, showcasing the sculptural installations of Los Angeles based artist Jantsankhorol Erdenebayar (Jantsa) and an interactive sound performance by Mongolian traditional throat singers, accompanied by renowned German artist Carsten Nicolai, aka Alva Noto. The exhibition is curated by Gantuya Badamgarav, Mongolian art patron, who commissioned and organized the first and second Mongolia participations at the Biennale Arte 2015 and Biennale Arte 2017.
Mongolian ancestors have tracing back over 3 millennia maintained a nomadic lifestyle where developments and the accrual of tangible creations, such as literature and art, were impeded due to the constant need for movement. Because of this limited context, oral traditions emerged and evolved as a principal means of expression and passed down through generations. With the progression of time, techniques of oral expressions acquired unique and complex forms, which are now registered as intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO.
Originally, Mongolians practiced throat singing as a means of communicating with their inner selves, surroundings and animals. Sounds differed depending on the environment and evolved minds, bodies and spirits of the people emitting them. Nowadays, an interaction between human- beings and nature is severely attenuated. Instead, man-made environments have been superimposed over centuries of natural relationships, resulting in concrete blocks, glass, panels, and asphalts, becoming the focal points of interaction. Bearing in mind this alteration and the earlier works of the artist Jansta, which have focused on the transformations and adjustments of living and non-living things, the curator Gantuya commissioned an artist to create sculptural installations to complement the brick-walled, interconnected cramped rooms of the old Venetian house. In addition, she invited renowned German artist Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto to join the project and perform together with Mongolian throat singers to transform and translate the ancient mediums of oral expressions into a contemporary art form by interacting with the space created by Jantsa.
